Why would they put him on PLEs and give him a storyline and release new merch for him if they were going to release him? Smarks are dumb as fuck

Losing a match to a popular star is not a burial. You don't understand anything about wrestling. You're like a little child getting upset when their favorite wrestler loses.
>>18483609
Like who? Most of the guys that get fired literally disappear off of God’s green earth. Remeber Vinci? Cameron Grimes? Dijak? Exactly nobody does!
>>18483521
This anon gets it. They did this last year with Drew and it’s 100% on purpose to work the dirtsheets. That’s WWES whole shift in business and controlling the news with this neo-kayfabe bullshit. Work the dirtsheets and as a way to work fans
>>18483613
Losing a match is not a burial.
Losing 3 matches to the same guy, who has been presented as a le heckin fighting underdog, in a convincing way that does not advance your story or character whatsoever is a burial

kross is a decent enough midcarder if you keep his matches under 15 minutes. Decent size and decent enough of the mic to carry a segment. Smarks are delusional begging for a push up the card though.
>>18483618
But this doesn't do anything. You're not going to sell tickets by pretending Karrion Kross is about to be future endeavored. There is no point in any of this.
>>18483638
The point is to work you. And yes they will sell merch if fans think it’s their last change to snag it. But the fact is they promoted his book and heavily hinted at an incoming push. You’re too dense to pick up on nuance I get that, but this was telegraphed. Wrestling journalists and smarks are simply unsmart people.
>>18483651
This along with the fact that acting as though someone is on the chopping block usually creates interest in said person, as then you get the "internet backlash" which you can placate and profit off of by resigning the guy you planned to resign in the first place. The majority not recognizing this shows what retarded headspace smarks inhibit.
>>18483624
Nah, that be getting the espn+ app.
Its funny, the more tko charges the less i enjoy the shows. How many good netflix raws have there been? How many decent event shows have they put on this year?
>>18483638
It’s literally to get people to talk about or be more invested the wrestler in question. The whole point is to work the fans, create buzz, and sell merch. It’s not about ticket sales. WWE never had to worry about ticket sales.

retards wants to paint also ron as "ree they listened to us" when ron is also a carny and knows how to work journos too, and had his contract turned into a Legends deal even before that.
Again "The mind of the human wrestling fan is the easiest thing to manipulate" - shawn michaels
>>18483681
all that happens though is a few of the smelliest most terminally online e-drones squeal about how everyone got "worked" and everyone else just ignores it and moves on.
>>18483681 >omg Karrior Kross is actually still with the company!
Ok now what? What does this do besides pop the Kross mark for like 5 seconds? This is tiktok brainrot booking
>>18483692
The damage control mental gymnastics youre pulling is funny. Classic. >seethes and percolates that xhe were wrong >haha, you all seethed and called me a smark
>>18483665 >You lose to Sami >You lose to Sami when you try to cheat >You lose to Sami when you try to cheat, and then Sami rejects trying to cheat and beats you anyway >Ok buddy, looks like you're ready to face Cody now!
And you dared to say I don't understand anything about wrestling.

If Kross went out to the middle of the ring and said "First guy who meets me outside the arena gets a blowjob from my wife!" It would also excite the audience, and it would also lead nowhere, add nothing to his character, and make no sense.
>>18483728
The feud wasn't about winning matches, Kross seems much more interested in corrupting his opponents. I think this is setting up a Sami heel turn
>>18483804
No I don't think so. Sami won. He didn't get corrupted like everyone else. Even when he had the chance to cheat, he didn't and won the honorable way. He's on his way to the world championship now, and he'll be challenging as a babyface.
>>18483804 >"Kross, I am not a bad person. I will beat you fair and square and prove it to you." >*beats Kross* >"Kross, I know what you're trying to do by viciously attacking me. It won't happen, I will beat you and prove to you theres no dark demon inside me waiting to be unleashed." >*beats Kross* >"Kross, I am sick and tired of you thinking you're playing mind games. I will not use this pipe you presented to me. I will not cut corners. I am good enough to win on my own." >*beats Kross*
Masterclass of booking here to reveal that Sami has been corrupted

At some point, they just have to get over dirtsheet existing. People ignore them or don’t believe them most of the time anyway, yet HHH seems more concerned about smugly saying “gotcha, smarks” in interview than he is about putting on a good show.

They are so afraid of aew its insane. They wanna keep all the shitters they have but they cant hold em forever. Their roster is going to bloated and people will be unhappy they are not getting time. The next pendulum swing is coming.
