Boom Periods, etc...
 

While thinking about a previous thread about Brock Lesnar being the face of new boom period, I wanted to support the case but could not due to his schedule. However, by handcuffing themselves with his availability, I feel that WWE has whiffed on the next boom period and a lot of money/exposure.

Rock+Wrestling/Hulkamania- Considered the first boom period, this 8 year period, or there abouts, was targeted towards kids and families, thus doing HUGE business and setting standards for professional wrestling.

NWO/Attitude Era- This era was more hip and boundary pushing, essentially tailor made for young adults (high school and college age), and was also HUGE business for WWE.

Present day- Brock Lesnar is like no one that Vince has ever had... he's as accomplished in MMA as Ken Shamrock, but more well known due to the sports cultural relevance today. He's more interesting and compelling than Dan Severn. He has the greatest manager of all-time, mainstream credibility, and he brings a realism and feeling of "danger" seldom seen I professional wrestling.

In short, an era based around Brock Lesnar ,and ESPN's recent embraced of pro wrestling due to his presence, could provide WWE an audience they have not yet conquered-- adults. With the PG stuff for kids, Lesnar mauling people for adults, and the work rate guys in the mid card and uppercard for hardcore fans, it seems like money is just waiting to be printed.

It truly is unfortunate that Brock's contract situation has tied the hands of WWE, because they might have something big on the horizon otherwise.

I think I agree with what you're saying. What are we supposed to discuss here, though?

Lamas

Everyone discuss Lamas.

WWE already tried to build the next era around Lesnar, and then he fucked off. And that's not much different than how he is now.

Having a difficult time understanding what that has to do with Lamas, Rammsteinmad.

Llamas*

I was actually talking about Tibetan Buddhist teachers.

The picture was to throw everyone off.

Congratulations road doggy dogg. You have passed the Fignuts Lama test.

Here is a picture of an actual Lama

Lesnar would F5 the fuck out of a Lama/Llama.

I don't know. Yoga Flame is pretty badass move.

Alpacas > llamas

just had a mental image of a very loud menstruation... a boom period, if you will

My god, think of the bear that would attract.

Can Alpacas and Llamas breed? Do they make a sterile Alpama, like horses and donkeys make mules.
