Would you mark?

Providence Peep 06-23-2010 09:28 AM

I'd mark and I'd probably jizz

Jimmy Cones 06-23-2010 09:30 AM

I want you to book the first night, Noid. I will make my decision then... but I'll prolly mark out anyways. Who else is in this "new promotion"?

VSG 06-23-2010 10:17 AM

No, actually. If that promotion didn't begin with someone already established or atleast far younger then I wouldn't invest any money in it.

XCaliber 06-23-2010 10:18 AM

Franchise player maybe but I dunno about being the face of the company.

Xero 06-23-2010 10:22 AM

It wouldn't make it mainstream, and I couldn't see Shane doing anything but mainstream.

I can't see Shane doing ANYTHING, honestly, but if he did it'd be mainstream.

The Gold Standard 06-23-2010 10:30 AM

As much as I like Shane and have learned to like Danielson, I still wouldn't watch it weekly.

I would watch the first 2 or 3 episodes, but probably stop after that. However, it would make for a great story line moving forward.

Kane Knight 06-23-2010 10:33 AM

lol

DAMN iNATOR 06-23-2010 10:38 AM

No offense, but, absolutely not.

Nicky Fives 06-23-2010 10:50 AM

I'd wake up from the dream, because there is absolutely no way that would happen....

MoFo 06-23-2010 01:00 PM

No.

BigDaddyCool 06-23-2010 01:03 PM

Who is his top star? Never heard of him. He would probably open with a top star that we have heard of, not random indy wrestler # 56.

MoFo 06-23-2010 01:06 PM

If he opened one with Rock, Goldberg and HBK I would wank, but Danielson isnt a big enough star

Maybe Paul Heyman on creative and behind the announce desk? Thinking of free agents in the wrestling world, I'd suggest Shelton Benjamin, Charlie Haas, Christopher Daniels and maybe some ROH guys and top indy prospects. If Kurt Angle ever decided to leave TNA, maybe there would be the possibility of him as a bigger name?

I'm not even talking realistically. Everyone knows me enough by now. Perhaps even as an angle? I'm thinking about all this NXT/Nexus stuff, and how it's caused such a stir. "Daniel Bryan" has become a hot topic like nothing you really see in this era. Would the WWE ever try a "spin-off" promotion that sort of had an indy feel to it? Even if it was glitzed up? Maybe a nice, polished set, but set in smaller venues like where RAW used to be taped?

If they wanted to draw some sort of casual fan interest to it, they could perhaps work an angle where they leak reports Chris Jericho wants a reduced schedule to toggle his other projects (Downfall, Fozzy) and Vince won't budge -- so they come to terms with his release and Shane snaps him up.

Jura 06-23-2010 01:16 PM

I don't care about Daniel Bryanson but if Shane started a legit wrestling company that doesn't really have any ties to WWE then I would be interested.

why wouldn't Shane run with a guy nobody outside of smarks would give a shit about as his top guy?

The Pope 06-23-2010 01:49 PM

TNA? lol

glanville6 06-23-2010 04:15 PM

Id give it a shot, and I think it would get better ratings then TNA. Funny how much Danielsons stock has gone up with his firing.

illmatic 06-23-2010 05:24 PM

didn't you hear? That's what TNA's major announcement is! Shane is now co-owner of TNA!!

.........

RiX1024 06-23-2010 05:26 PM

i'd give it a chance but I can't see him competing with his dad.

.44 Magdalene 06-23-2010 05:30 PM

What if Daniel Bryans opened up a new professional wrestling company, and Shane McMahon was his top star?


WHAT THEN

Xero 06-23-2010 05:33 PM

Shane would be a bigger draw than Danielson, that's for sure.

Mooияakeя™ 06-23-2010 07:24 PM

Very random post that Noid.

Gertner 06-23-2010 08:33 PM

Christ. Nobody cares about vanilla midget indy wrestlers. If they did, ROH would be #1.

Swiss Ultimate 06-23-2010 08:35 PM

I'd feud him against various announcers for a year straight.

Stickman 06-23-2010 11:18 PM

This is dumb. The more I come to the wrestling forum the more I feel like a loser.

BigDaddyCool 06-23-2010 11:23 PM

Seriously, if shane was going to open up new company front by danielson, it would be a small indy company that most people wouldn't see. If Shane was going to open up a promotion with the intent on competing with WWE (which I think is what you are getting at) he would most likely get bigger named guys, but most of them are locked up with WWE and TNA right now.

But Danielson at this moment has no business being the top star of a company trying to compete with WWE.

Kane Knight 06-24-2010 12:02 AM

I doubt Noid was serious. However comma, how often do smarks give a shit about what would actually do well or appeal to people? If what smarks wanted was in line with anything popular, WWE would be booking bingo halls and struggling to meet capacity.

Gertner 06-24-2010 12:23 AM

And Charlie Haas would be world champion.

Jimmy Cones 06-24-2010 06:28 AM

Sean Morley would be in this.

Innovator 06-24-2010 09:16 AM

And the Bashams

Joesgonnakillyou 06-24-2010 05:26 PM

Who cares about Shane Mcmahon?

YoungFlyFlashy 06-24-2010 06:57 PM

"What If".....*sigh*

Noid, I think you need to update the roster for "The Optimists".

P.S.
Sorry for beating TerranRich in that "loser leaves TPWW" match a while back.

Yeah, thanks for noticing that. I think people have also noticed that Daniel Bryan is one of the hottest items in wrestling right now. Not to the point where he can legitimately crush the WWE by going elsewhere, but he's big enough to add attention to whatever company he signs with.

Kane Knight 06-25-2010 08:55 AM

Yeah, he'll add thirty viewers or so.

Mr. Nerfect 06-25-2010 10:02 AM

If we're talking a new promotion, I think he'd add a few hundred to somewhere in the low thousands range.

Kane Knight 06-25-2010 11:04 AM

Fond as I am of redefining things post hoc, he's unlikely to end up in a new promotion.

"Thousands" isn't really all that realistic. I suppose it's easy to inflate your expectations in what is effectively an echo chamber, though.

Gertner 06-25-2010 04:14 PM

But think of the workrate Kane! THINK OF THE WORKRATE!!!!!!!
