    WWE vs AEW

    Khan has media contacts though which TNA lacked. And is a businessman. If they make good product and get a TV deal and have a somewhat decent promotional budget they might be able to do alright even if they lose money initially as its a vanity project ATM as Khan is a fan and he is richer than...

    WWE vs AEW

    They are not plowing all 6 million into it more like 100 million. To put it into perspective its about 1.5 years NJPW or 3 years of NXT operating expenses. WCW lost almost that in 1 year. Still its a billionaire bankrolling a pet project. It has parallels to WCW but enitely different scale and...

    Some Quick questions on Ahmed Johnson

    Apparently Vince was high on Ahmed for a bit. Then Austin kinda happened.

    Some Quick questions on Ahmed Johnson

    Basically he sucked. Keep in mind the top two guys were Brett and Shawn Michaels you know some of the best of all time.

    When will WWE die out?

    Creatively RAW is there already IMHO. Financially they are good for the next 5 years. Some thighs that could do them in though 1. Rating continue to get worse/don't meet FOXs expectations. 2. RAW stays shit. 3. NJPW keeps getting bigger over the next 5 years. 4. A new promotion/all the indies...

    Vince vs. Triple H

    Either plan is not actually that bad. Hell they are both kind of good.

    Does Charlotte Deserve Another Title Shot?

    Charlotte, Becky, and Ronda are the only ones in the "megastar" range, Asuka could be redeemed with some better booking, Sasha and Bayley are a lost cause and the rest don't matter.

    A doctor cleared Ric Flair to take bumps in the ring

    Well Flair got it over and it is kinda funny. Back in the day the only flair I saw was 1 NWA VHS, his 91/92 run and later in WCW. And watching his NWA stuff now or 89 WCW its nothing really special. And I started in 88 but AWA/NWA was hard to get hold of in small town NZ, Superstars of...

    And they say Shawn Michaels oversells stuff on occasion lol.

    When did "If you're a star in WWE it doesn't matter what you did outside of it" thing start ?

    I thought about it some more. Its roughly 1990-93, Flair was probably one of the last they brought in as is, 1990 Mark came from WCW and was repackaged as Taker. Hall was repackaged along with Nash, Austin etc. They did that sometime in the 80's but if you were a big star in another territory...

    Unpopular Opinion

    Kinda before my time but the shield? Not every NXT star can be on the main roster but yeah they have dropped the ball on a alot of them/main roster in general mainly because of the focus on Reigns and dudes who were around when I was watching as a child/teenager (Taker, Shawn Michaels). I...

    Braun Strowman.

    Unpopular Opinion

    Most top stars came from the mid card. Very few debut near the top, Taker, Rocky were two and they had to repackage Rock. Hogan was a star before he went to WWF, after him most had to work their way up (Bret, Shawn, Austin, Jericho, Edge, HHH). A few got pushes from the start but were not on...

    Taker wants streak over, you're Vince, what do you do?

    Takers old school. The streak ending should have been his retirement match.,

    When did "If you're a star in WWE it doesn't matter what you did outside of it" thing start ?

    It kind of depends on how big of a star you are. For example Hogan was a big star in the AWA, Roddy Piper was also a draw and they got big storylines and pushes. If you were a midcarder or less then obviously you mattered less. Can also come down to how much Vince respects you (he respected...

    Who will end AJ Styles historic title run?

    Rusev, Miz or Samoa Joe (with a better push).

    If there was a Latino version of Nation of Domination stable...

    Because they basically failed. WCW had the LWO as well. Is been done before multiple times. The Foreign heel thing has not been a good idea since about 1991 IMHO (Sgt Slaughter becomes Iraqi sympathiser/USSR dies), or 1993 at the latest (Yokozuna). WWE is about as subtle as a brick in the...

    A Protected Squash?

    Scatman late 90's ;).

    A Protected Squash?

    Strowman should have taken the title in 2017 vs Lesnar (Summerslam IMHO?) Roman can still be the guy but you have 2-3 guys as plan B in case of injuries etc. THose would be Strowman, Seth, and I think they may strap a rocket to Drew. On SD you have AJ but in the Attitude era you had Rock and...

    A Protected Squash?

    Generally they don't work. Apparently Braun has back stage heat on him so hence he loses a lot in big matches. Expect Drew to beat Lesnar for the title maybe at WM. Drew for the Rumble win and a face turn?
