Nick Kahn is going to be running things, not like...Jim Cornette or something. He's going to lean on the likes of HHH and Steph for the on-air stuff if he doesn't just try to clean house and make them nothing more than figureheads that can keep talent in line.

Whatever direction the company has been going in over the last few years ("Reigns and whoever, they're all interchangeable") its going to keep moving in that direction unless Khan has been completely handcuffed this whole time.

Nick Khan is gonna try to set up a residency in Vegas for Raw

Mr. Nerfect 07-22-2022 08:27 PM

I’m pretty sure Drew is winning the belts in the UK. It seems insane to me to put him in that situation just to lose. I don’t necessarily think he’s heading into Mania with them, but I can’t see him not winning. They might try to tie it into some publicity with Tyson Fury being special guest enforcer to make sure The Usos can’t get involved.

I don’t think the overall picture will change much, but nor do I think it should.

I’m surprised they haven’t set up something more of a tourist attraction in Florida yet.

I dunno, there is wriggle room there for people to play with. Of course they’re going to want to make as much money as possible, but there can be competing ideas on how that is best achieved.

Change isn’t guaranteed at all. But it isn’t impossible either. New merchandising deals can be struck up, trademarks brought back to monetize. In the context of content, they might decide to try and put on more urgent shows instead of sitting in a low gear to be evergreen. They might value using their history more to promote their present (for example, something as simple as showing Edge & Rey winning the Tag Titles to promote them facing Judgment Day, if that’s the plan).

The new regime might have the energy and desire to put some effort into putting their own stamp on things — at least for a while — even if they are largely likely to keep a steady hand with most things.

Mr. Nerfect 07-22-2022 08:49 PM

Lately I’ve been thinking of the contemporary nature of content. In some ways, the past is as accessible to the youth of today as live entertainment. When it comes to moving away from PPV to streaming, I think a mistake some people make is thinking that the lower price point for the Network takes pressure off the shows. Whereas it could be the case that in years time, people will look back on what’s happening now and hold that sleepwalking against the company. Even if the WWE is alive and thriving, podcasts will be made about how barren this period is, with people daring themselves to watch it. WWE is so far ahead when it comes to modern delivery of their product. Vince was, frankly, brilliant to move over to the WWE Network and then lease it out. But I’m not sure anyone has really got a handle on how well content is or isn’t going to age, and how that is going to affect perception of the live product in a few years time.

By the way, if Dave Meltzer or Bryan Alvarez break a WWE story, chances are it’s bullshit. SRS reported it too, but he’s been spotty as well. The wrestlers in WWE do not respect them because of the silly narratives they’ve put out and the constant dismissal of their work.

Dave (and by association, Bryan) have chosen an exploitative path of milking smarks for their money by telling them what they want to hear. All the best matches happen elsewhere and everyone who signs with the WWE is a money-grabbing idiot with no love for true wrestling. Tomohiro Ishii is somehow more deserving of a Hall of Fame spot than Randy fucking Orton. It’s ridiculous.

Why would anyone risk their job giving these assholes correct information even if they are somehow privy to it in the corporate WWE setting?
