You re-using that tired old joke would drive the Geneva Convention to Zoloft.

I on the other hand, have never claimed to be a redneck, but I am in fact an accounant. So by you claiming I am something I never claimed to be and something I am not, then asking what the fasle statement would know about what I really do is complete crap. I know quiet a lot about being an accountant because I am one.
No, it proves that you missed my point. You're hanging way too much on the "claiming" part. I told you what a stand-up comedian could know about marketing. I even specifically pointed out an instance where I worked with a guy who has a degree in marketing.

Joe, Marvel action figure, and Star Wars. If WWE toys didn't sell, stores like Walmart and Target wouldn't give them shelf space.

Also, if you take a look at WWE finaical statements, merch sales are up. Particularly t-shirt sales and toys. So why don't you shut up with your armchair business plan.
Of course the WWE know how to market to kids better than I do. They also know how to put on a better wrestling product than you do. Therefore everytime you see something you don't think is wise on WWE TV (for example, how Chris Jericho won the World Heavyweight Title), you need to shut the fuck up? If that's your belief, do so, it'd actually be fantastic. Last time I checked it was alright to discuss things such as this, though.

As much as I am sick of saying this phrase, your points here are completely made of straw. You suck, BDC, you just do. I never said the WWE doesn't appeal to kids at all, or that they aren't even doing better at it than they were last time financial reports were released. I just questioned if they are doing it as well as they should be, considering how down ratings, PPV buys and stock is.

I also didn't suggest I could market to kids better. I suggested ways they could possible do it. In fact, I made a point to say that they shouldn't market to kids. At risk of sounding redundnat -- you suck, BDC, you just do.

Just curious - where did this BDC/Kane Knight hatred of Noid come from? I don't post here much and so I am not aware of the social dynamics.

Did Kane Knight join the clique?

Is Noid an enemy of the clique?

WHAT IS GOING ON.

For example - when Hulk Hogan joined the New World Order back in 1996, nWo shirts started selling like crazy.

That's why I wonder - if someone like Cena were to do something 'shocking' within a year or so (and perhaps form a new group or whatever), would merchandise sales necessarily be affected?
That demographic isn't buying shirts anymore, as wrestling is, once again, seen as non-mainstream. It's the kids that are buying this shit.

Uh...Noid...BDC isn't targeting you because you don't agree with something you saw on TV. He is targeting you because you're objectively wrong.

I know this may be a very 'lame' idea, but how about a specific show, for example ECW, and making it an adults only type show (a.k.a attitude era type of stuff). I know its a long shot due to the substance of wrestlers during that era (Austin, Rock etc) but I'm sure Vince could work something out. You may not get higher merch sales, but you may attract an older demographic (even fans that stopped watching once the Attitude era was 'over'). This could then impact the younger demographic due to the parents enjoying watching wrestling again and thus increase sales in a number of ways (merch, tickets, PPVs etc).
Just a random idea I thought I would throw out there.
