    How THe Wrestling World Works and "The Guy"

    I think Rollins is a good contender but he is not quite there yet. Reigns could still get there with anheel turn then a face turn later if he improves his mic work. If people want to boo someone turn them heel. And vice versa if people start yto love your heels a face turn is usually coming up...

    Selling WWE?

    He is 71 now. Selling it would perhaps save the WWE. For example when VInce dies by law Stephanie and Shane would get half each of whatever Vince owns and Linda would also get a slice as well. That means no one would have a majority ownership and if things got nasty a hostile;e takeover could...

    How THe Wrestling World Works and "The Guy"

    This is a spin off from the Attitude Era thread and how it is over rated. I got into an interesting conversation with Phenom about how The Undertaker is not "The Guy". "The Guy" is just an expression about who is your top wrestler in the promotion where the major storyline revolves around...

    Selling WWE?

    Some sort of media company, movie company or television network or something like Netflix. Price would have to be somewhere north of a billion dollars likely 1.2 billion+. If I had that sort of money though I would not buy wrestling for returns of a few million per year. I think last year...

    Is is an unpopular opinion to think the Attitude Era was slightly overrated and has the biggest...?

    I was not watching in that era of WWFE. I have only seen a few American Badass matches. Prefer classic taker.

    Yup those 2 and Rocky were Vinces picks to develop but we know how things turned out. The Kliq was also trying to bury everyone up to and including Bret Hart. Taker beneifitted to an extent form being in the right place at the right time. He was always in the main picture but was rarely the...

    Is is an unpopular opinion to think the Attitude Era was slightly overrated and has the biggest...?

    Well office politics also comes into it. Taker did not play the behind the scenes game as much as the others but he was Vince enforcers in the locker room in the 90's. He pressured HBK into going over vs Austin in 1998 for example. Ever wondered why some stars that are over do not get a big...

    Is is an unpopular opinion to think the Attitude Era was slightly overrated and has the biggest...?

    Do you know about the behind the scenes antincs in the 90's? Taker was basically Mr Reliable as he was not off his face on drugs and he had his own faction the Bone Street Krew- the BSK tattoo on his stomach. He didn;t screw Vince over, throw tantrums or even hint at leaving for WCW. VInce...

    Best 90's PPV

    I know the new era is not well looked on but I remember the 90's being good overall. Here is a top 10 list. 10 Greatest WWE Pay-Per-Views Of The '90s Overall I liked the list and it was in the mid 90's WWE turned to shit. Quite a few in there I liked such as 1991 RR, 1992 RR and WMX. I...

    Undertaker is not that organic he got a big push as soon as he arrived in the WWE. Shawn and Bret got over the hard way before they got their push, Austin also got himself over. Rock got a huge push out the gate (it failed) and The Rock is one of a few home grown stars that WWF developed most...

    Is is an unpopular opinion to think the Attitude Era was slightly overrated and has the biggest...?

    I'm not a masisve Cena or Higan fan either but they were "the guy". List of WWE World Champions - Wikipedia Taker has been there for 26 years but he is ranked 21 for title reigns and he has held the title "only" 4 times. His runs however have been short, and he went almost 6 or 7 years...

    Is is an unpopular opinion to think the Attitude Era was slightly overrated and has the biggest...?

    You have been watching for 14 years. I was watching for 14 years before you started;) I have come and go though but I was there when Undertaker debuted. I stopped watching around 92-95 or so but whenever I came back taker was always there. You have kind of defaulted to taker because you have...

    Is is an unpopular opinion to think the Attitude Era was slightly overrated and has the biggest...?

    If you said taker was one of the biggest stars of the last 30 years I would fully agree. He has been used to make "the guy" look great he is always a credible threat but his title reigns for exmaple have often been short. For example he has feuded with all of "the guys" from Hogan, Cena...

    Is is an unpopular opinion to think the Attitude Era was slightly overrated and has the biggest...?

    The Undertaker has never really been "the guy". "The Guy" is the face of the company. Undertaker has often been used for "the guy" to feud with. Not that taker is a mid carder at all. Taker doesn't really do the media interviews or represent the company. Like Lesnar, big star but he is not...

    Is is an unpopular opinion to think the Attitude Era was slightly overrated and has the biggest...?

    This. I was there at the start of the era and am currently watching it now. In some ways it is worse than 93-96 in terms of in ring. At least with the best stuff from the "worst" of WWE. I would argue it was star power and the storyline/booking that made the attitude era great and its...

    Vince McMahon Issues Gag Order to WWE Wrestlers Asked to Comment on Trump

    I think it is more because of a situation like thisthan WWE being pro Trump. Have they gagged their stars in previous elections? Yuengling beer backed Trump this week. You can guess the rest.

    When Was the Best Era for Women's Wrestling in WWE?

    Probably now. Pre attitude era in the mid 90's I remember Alundra Blayze. Can't remember much else though. Sable was shit, Chyna was average but had a presence. Lita was good, IDK about Trish. The only other part would be 2003-2006 and I missed all of that. I prefer them being more...

    It's Not A Shoulder Strap

    I think it is for camera angles. If you are doing a close up interview with the champion having the belt over the shoulder makes sense. If you are doing a body shot like that one of Charlotte around the waist. Or maybe just personal preference or to fit the gimmick or whatever creative has...

    Vince McMahon Issues Gag Order to WWE Wrestlers Asked to Comment on Trump

    I don't think he did it because he is friends with Trump but because of the poo storm that would follow from his followers or whatever or if the wrestlers and management had to pick sides. Its just not gonna end up well. The Rock is a republican but I do not see him broadcasting it either. In...

    Turner broadcast is back in the wrestling business

    Short term it won't. Lucha underground is still fairly niche. If Turner was smart he would not put it opposite RAW anytime soon and he doesn't have a Hogan he can hire.
