You wouldn't even be here talking about wrestling at all if it wasn't for WWE.

Why is std a Stan for a product that clearly sucks and shitting on a product that hasn't even started yet?
Vince is clearly full of shit. The star he really lost was Reigns. That's it. Rollins, Strowman, Ambrose, Styles, Orton, Nakamura, Bryan, Rousey, Charlotte, Lynch, etc have an been healthy. The reason his product is seeing losses in ratings, attendance and merchandise sales is because it sucks and people aren't desperate enough for wrestling to sit thru 5 hours of tv when at least half of it is bad and Raw is seemingly rewritten on the spot right before showtime. The best part is that storyline nonsense. What was the last long term build they had? The guy they've anointed as the man was supposed to win the title multiple times only for that decision to be reversed at the last minute. Vince is so full of shit. |

Me I'm just counting down the days till either Vince McMahon dies or this company just completely implodes. People can say oh well they're doing well in other areas but the truth is wrestling is always going to be contingent on the interest from the public. They can venture out into other things but the image of them being big muscle-bound bad actors (with the exception of a few) is all they ever really will be no matter how they try to make themselves out to be whatever Vince thinks they are he slowly but surely losing his main audience and despite what he has Sami Zayn come out and tell us it really is all his fault. |

Also, the argument could definitely be made that without WWE, wrestling would be more popular now than it is. It may not have ever reached the peaks of the 80s and 90’s but Vince not building his monopoly would have prevented it from reaching the low it’s reached.

Nothing wrong with that in the least as long as you keep in mind that it's fine for others to enjoy the WWe. I can take it of leave it myself but do i dream of the day that more local wrestling programs return. I watched Stampede in the 70's and early 80's and I can deal with similar quality programs now.

I doubt wrestling would exist in any measurable way. It would have died out to near extinction like Roller Derby.

Wrestling would exist without the WWF/E. Gtfo.

I understand that when we start talking about an alternate reality, “right” and “wrong” is bound to become more fuzzy.
But you’re wrong, STD. |

Wrestling at its peak without WWE is not comparable to fucking roller derby.

I guess that's why Vince McMahon buying the Georgia Championship Wrestling slot was called White Saturday and led to such wonderful ratings for TBS. So much so that Ted Turner didn't have to worry about alternate programming ever again.
