The WWE is not going to move backwards, and trying to reel in fans from the past is a crapshoot. They need to move forward, and aim to create new ones. The past is the past, and this "culture" you speak of needs to be found in the present. The money is in new fans, and future fans. Cradle to the grave.

WCW and ECW are dead entities. The WWE has already used them up on air, and they're now 10 years old and dead. It's time for wrestling to move on, and so should it's fans.
the NWA is still going and do have territories

FINE


well i would equate to what they are doing at the moment to killing a mouse with a shotgun, if it was up to me and the goal was wide demographic i would do this

WWE monday night raw - PG14 aimed at teens
CCWF wednesday night Chillum - MA aimed at adults and wrestling fans, im not talking about 2 girls fucking in the ring type of stuff but a bit more adult based.

WXF friday bubble - PG tv aimed more at families and kids

hell even by doing this they could probably slam out 2 ppvs per month, this way every body is happy, they could probably storyline some takeover and treat the 'companies' as separate entities

They still have the championship committee and all that jazz, last time I checked. They're not near their former prominence though. I meant WWE promoting it as a "brand".

Ah yes, wrestling needs to move on. But moving on doesnt mean alienating a hefty percentage of their current audience. Moving on and adapting is essential. WWE's current form of moving on appears to be getting out of wrestling, which as a wrestling company is a bad move you could say.

Also, just because its PG doesnt mean it has to be the crap they churn out either. Dont believe me?

WWE will eventually collapse on itself (again) and wind up in the same basket that they were in in the early 1990's.

You're on ok enough guy, but I just hate arguing with people like you. Makes me feel like a WWE fanboy instead of feeling like I should, like I'm using common sense.

So am I.

WWE's business is a cycle. At somepoint, WWE will drop off again.

They already have, but their rebound has kept it not noticible that they had fallen to begin with.

Will they come back after the next major drop off?

Maybe, depending on if Vince is still alive and who is in charge, etc.
