He covers lots of demographics. Hence him getting louder reactions than everybody in WWE and therefore getting pushed towards the World title. I think Vince McMahon has a decent idea about who he should push but obviously you're still correct.
I agree that he was over and super-popular and deserved to be in title contention in the WWE. Things have changed since he got to TNA however and the reason he left the WWE is still an issue.

I can't say the same for TNA because there are about 17 people in the crowd.

2. This is the wrestling business. If you're bringing up legal issues as to why somebody shouldn't succeed then you either have no knowledge of the history of pro wrestling or are conventiantly ignoring for the sake of your argument here.


This is a BUSINESS. The kinds of things people got away with in the 90s don't fly like they used to. The landscape has changed.

3. His new song, whilst far from being great or anything, is a lot better as far as wrestling songs go than his old one and it works for him in his current form. Ditto his promos. He's far from Roddy Piper but it works for him in his current form.


I'll agree his new theme is a hundred times better than his old one but, come on, his mic work is barely intelligible. I'll change my mind if you can show me one promo he has done where he hasn't embarrassed himself and the company.

4. Your 'stating my opinion as fact despite clearly knowing jack' is the reason I responded to you in the first place. The facepaint stuff from here and on the other page for example. How many kids in the crowd had Jeff facepaint at WWE shows? A fuckload. He stands out. Which is one of the most important things you can do as a performer. And as far as I can tell, it's different everytime. Which makes your 'worst make up in the business' comment even more redundant. Sounds like one of those things somebody on the internet bitches about for no real reason.


I'm stating opinion as opinion and objective truth as objective truth. The problem appears to be that I'm stating both side-by-side?

I will also argue that his face paint in WWE looked like it was done by a professional while his face paint in TNA looks like he just gets high and starts finger-painting all over himself. I don't mind that he stands out but, for Christ's sake, Sting's makeup still looks awesome!

5. I'm not stating that he is bringing new fans to TNA and I don't recall mentioning anything of the sort. I'm stating that going on the history of what has 'worked' in the history of pro wrestling, TNA are actually doing something that appears smart as opposed to putting some names in the TNA-patented Random Booking Generator and filming whatever it spews out.
If he's not bringing in new fans than what is the point of making him the focal point of the show? How is it smart if it's not designed to increase revenue?
