That's because you're a manchild that was never raised properly so you associate all the fond memories of your childhood with consoomerism instead of meaningful memories with other people. Like all milennials

Jim is having a mental breakdown about needing to sign in to the ESPN app to watch PPVs, and is threatening to simply stop watching them because he doesn't know how to link his cable package to the app.

Valid geriatric complain I allow it

Why did he get rid of Travis? Anyone know the drama on that?

>>18579004
It makes me wonder how rich Cornette is and how much of it he hides where he is angry he can't waste $70 a month on a single wrestling PPV anymore

>>18578998
Ouch, that hurts.

>didn't even watch dynamite 2 weeks ago

what is his purpose?

>>18579063
It came out Travis raped an 8 year old girl. Cornette kept trying to ignore it but Brian told him to fire him

>>18578950 (OP)
Wrestling 30 years ago was making more off live tickets than wrestling today without adjusting the amounts for inflation. Everything consolidating down to the WWF pushed things to the moon but that was when they had Hogan or Savage or Warrior. As soon as they had to rely on the B team the entire business took a shit and the only thing that kept it going was there being somewhere else for the guys who drew money to keep it going until Steve Austin and The Rock blew it up even more. But when they rolled off into the sunset and it was back to the B team there was no WCW. Even if there was there would not have been anyone to go there and give the business a kick in the ass. Austin and Rock were definitively done. You didn't have Hogan or Savage or Sting or Flair. There weren't any moves that could be made that would actually shock the business.

Throw out any crazy bullshit you want and it wouldn't have mattered. Triple H jumps to TNA, prime Tanahashi flies over to appear on Raw, Cena turns heel.. None of it would have mattered. The WWF going into a slump drug the whole business down with it and now it's a long climb back up.

AEW exists but what is the fight over? Who can grab the most of a roughly 2 million person audience? Who can juice the last dimes out of the only guys left who even vaguely had star power? This isn't fighting for being the top rated show on cable or prestige or anything except who gets to be king carny retard. The dimes left the building and these fags are fighting over pennies.

>>18579065
That's how you save wrestling you know, with tech illiterate people who needs tivo

>>18578998
NTA but I was born in 2001 and grew up watching Ruthless Aggression and early PG era, I can tell you right now that wrestling was at its absolute peak from 1996 to 2001. I prefer watching old Attitude Era or NWO WCW era episodes over RA or PG ones. Dismissing all criticisms of the modern product and praises of the old product with muh nostalgia goggles is a lazy argument.

>Wrestling 30 years ago was making more off live tickets than wrestling today

That's literally not true lmao, they didn't even hold any events in a stadium until WM 17, and they were also cheaper tickets even with inflation

>>18579160
The operational costs are eating the profits

But is a safe spot they can just spend less or even gamble on more

>>18579160
Looking at it like that is exactly why the business is buttfucked now. I was talking about tickets sold across the entire year, across the entire country. Live attendance is what makes wrestling work. Wrestling is only good TV when they have a full audience going crazy. There only being the WWF and now AEW strangles the business out because if you don't care for what either of them are doing you are just not watching or going to shows. There are no shows to go to even if you wanted, I live around what was a major area for wrestling 30 years ago and there isn't shit. Not even indy shows with 20 people in a high school gym. Nothing.

The WWF model only works when you have guys who can draw and if you go too long without it becomes a death spiral like we have today. Now it dosen't fucking matter who you have. Stone Cold Steve Austin Part 2: No Broken Neck and 11 Inch Dick could show up and light the world of wrestling on fire and it would look like a candle to anyone looking from the outside.

>>18578979
>wrestling
True
>vidya
They peaked a bit later
>food and beverage
The food used to be even better years ago, but now you can easily access cuisines from all around the world thanks to the internet, so it kind of evens out if you're mindful about what you buy
>pornography
Porn is better than ever you can see all kinds of cutie in 2 clicks, instead of fapping to bimbo with giant fake tits on a vhs.
The problem is that it's too mainstream now, not that's it's bad.

popped me. Also, I'm 42.

Wrestling today is generally very inferior but it has the potential to be even greater imo. but it won't because most wrestling companies are run by corporate retards instead of wily old carnies. The old carnies knew how to make it work. Then Vince killed the carnival and all the carnies had to come work for either him or WCW. I think there are people in the business today who could be the next megastar but they wont because these companies are so retarded. they are pushing the worst and burying the best, and that has consequences over time.

>>18579781
then you know that jacking it to the SEARS catalog or a Hustler you found in the woods has nothing on lightning-fast pornography at your choosing, millions of pictures and videos catered directly to your fetish, any time of the day or night, delivered directly into your bedroom, work bathroom, or friend's couch that you're staying on

>>18579063
According to Travis, he was just burned out from doing this for years and wanted to focus on other things. The new artist absolutely fucking sucks though.

Who said anything about McDonald's, faggot? The QUALITY of food used to be better. Not every product was made in a fucking lab, all food was more affordable. And yes, even if you want to play the MuhDonalds game, it was better back then than it is now.

>>18579898
food tastes just as good now as it ever did. it's the same. stop being a retard.
it was cheaper back then, yes.
the prices are worse, the quality is the same.

>>18579949
>food tastes just as good now as it ever did. it's the same.
That's not what I said, retard. I said food now is GROWN IN A LAB. It didn't used to be that way. Why do you think we have such a fucking fat epidemic? Because all the food is filled with garbage that didn't used to be put in it.
>, the quality is the same.
I can't believe such an ignorant opinion like this exists. Why do you think food companies are freaking out over RFK Jr? Because he's forcing them to scale back the garbage they've been putting into food.

I don't know a single wrestling commentator that doesn't think the product is shit.

>>18579974
you want to spend all day reading the ingredients, knock yourself out. most of us adults don't have time for that shit.
and RFK Jr. is a fucking quack lunatic so if that's who you're looking up to, that says it all right there.

>you want to spend all day reading the ingredients, knock yourself out. most of us adults don't have time for that shit.
No one does, hence the point of forcing these corporations to stop putting this garbage in and go back to the way it used to be (or somewhat close to it).
Sorry if you lost the argument that "food is the same now as it was then, chud!"
>and RFK Jr. is a fucking quack lunatic so if that's who you're looking up to, that says it all right there.
He wants healthier food and you don't. How many vax shots have you taken, retard?

WWE makes more money every show than whatever outlaw circus in Alabama Jim reminisces about

>>18580221
Imagine how much money they could be making if they had even 1/10th of the fans.

>>18580221
>WWE makes more money every show
Because they puts ads on everything and have massive TV deals. The Madden videogames used to have 5x more players, but they make more money now because the milk all the whales that they have.

Who are even the pornstars of today? Most guys just give money to OF girls that aren't even posting nudes.

Can you show me how many stadium shows they were selling out during the period of time Corny talks about?

>>18580575
>Can you show me how many stadium shows they were selling out during the period of time Corny talks about?
With the exception very recent wrestlemanias, shows weren't booked in stadium. But to your point, WM3 and Summerslam at Wembley did sold out stadium crowds. Back then they did more house shows, so "WWF coming to your town" was a more common thing. Now that it's less common, more people will attend the tv show event. You are also only putting everything through the lens of show attendance. WWE used to have 5 million viewers vs WCWs 4.5 million. Today WWE is lucky to get 3 million views. There were just more fans back then. Much more.

>>18579756
It's not about the paying. He doesn't know how to use his smart TV and refuses to learn. He ordered the PPVs every month for like $80 each, but his cable got rid of the PPV station, so now he has to watch by streaming and he doesn't know how. His fat whale wife set up Peacock for him so he could watch Summerslam, and then he read an article where you get streaming subs for free if you're paying for cable to begin with and got excited, but then he realized you have to link your cable provider account with the streaming account, and he also has no idea how to do this, or how to make an account.
It's a really great peak into the average boomer mindset in action

>>18580608
Cornette hated 80s WWF, retard, kek.

Huh?
>Summerslam at Wembley was 1992
>WWE did losts of house shows in the 90s
>WWE 5 million viewers vs WCW 4.5 million viewers is obviously Raw vs Nitro in the late 90s
The only 80s thing I said was WM3. Holy fuck zoomers are so fucking retarded.

>>18580629
Jim grew up on territory era wrestling, he's always hated WWF for going global and their cartoon gimmicks
