I'm the opposite, I don't want everything to feel so real. In my opinion that's one of WWE's biggest problems. I like outlandish characters and segments that feel like a TV show because that's what it is. Don't get me wrong, I love a good match that looks and sounds real but I don't want that in every match.

How not? They clearly try to present everything as real. They may try to some things out of the box but it hardly ever works for them.

It's apples and oranges. Nobody in indie wrestling or the small promotions are even trying to compete with RAW or Smackdown because those shows are primarily for little children.

There's some stuff for adults sprinkled in here and there, but Vince wants kids buying t-shirts and video games. He loathes everyone on this forum.

The largest viewing demographic of WWE's product is consistently over the age of 50.

They are geared towards kid. A lot of old people still watch wrestling, but they are clearly and purposely making this a kid's show.

I wouldn't be surprised if those old fucks are watching with their grandkids.

Absolutely not. His promos are obnoxious white-noise. "DUMMY! YEAH! DUMMY! YEAH!" What the fuck does that even mean. Bray Wyatt gets shit for his promos not making sense, but going "Dummy! Yeah!" over and over again does not a good promo make.

He wants to be The Rock, but he's more Poochie Miz.

Because it doesn't make sense, they acknowledge it's fake and a performance, people apologize when they hurt each other, enemies end up friends all the time, no one acts in the way a real human would. The lack of credibility is a big part of why interest in WWE (and wrestling as a whole) is down.

Like that's all he's ever said in every promo ever. It's a catch phrase, their fairly common in wrestling. You compare him alot to the Rock but I see more of Ric Flair than I do Rock.

I don't disagree about any of what you've said there in regard to WWE. What I meant by too real was they present it like reality TV with wrestling matches. It's scripted realism that doesn't come off authentic. They throw in all their philanthropy to add to it and make themselves look mainstream.

Think so but its still a very useful metric for gauging popular interest online.

In terms of digital revenues, more companies have been moving towards Twitch and/or their own streaming services to earn money from online.

Wow. Love this guy.

It's time to make TPWW MEAT again!

Quote:
Unlike traditional grills which cook food from a single, direct heat source, the Pit Barrel® Cooker’s cylindrical shape and “Hook-and-Hang” method places the food in the center of the action, heating the meat from all sides at once, producing consistently great-tasting, perfectly cooked meat every time.

Also have some popcorn.
