TKO has destroyed my interest in pro wrestling.

>implying it wasn't Trips

Nah, it was TKO.

TKO didn't destroy anon's interest. It was anon who destroyed anon's interest.

lol yup they killed wwe

HHH has a lot of blame too but he is only the creative guy. TKO can ask for things, throw their weight around and he has to go along with it. The shows are hard to get through but that isn't on HHH.

It's TKO's aggressive corporate ingresses that are killing my enthusiasm. I have never felt like cattle as badly as I do now trying to watch WWE.

I feel like watching the Viking Raiders coming out to shill fucking Clash of Clans at WrestleMania was the first major red flag that something is very wrong.

>>18635263
And then this shit felt like the next step in my growing disdain for being a WWE follower.

this isn't even cope, I don't even think you believe this. Nobody is sitting there enjoying seeing piper niven and the MFTs on every show and thinking TKO is the issue

>>18635354
Piper is part of Chelsea's thing and Chelsea is entertaining. Yeah Mudline is shit and should have ended a long while ago but Dwayne is a TKO board member, they satisfy diversity quotas, they have to make Roman happy so he keeps showing up.

>>18635404
He doesn't even book roman like an attraction and has him jobbing to bronson reed, fuck are we doing here

>>18635184 (OP)
The green logo was way more dimes than the shitty new silver one

>>18635354
I explained what's happening in the posts above yours, please read.

>>18635184 (OP)
It’s ok to admit you were wrong about WWE becoming great again with no Vince, lol

Hunter sucks and once he ran out of Vince’s idea holdovers he was finished as a booker, seethe and cope

>>18635184 (OP)
I seriously can't even wrap my mind around how someone can feel this way. I think you're just looking for things to complain about.

>nonsensical stop-start booking
>30 minutes of wrestling, 2 and a half hours of advertisements and C-list Netflix celebrity synergy crowd shots
>desperately trying to work the sheets with meta stories
Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

>>18635902
new japan isnt bad that the logos are better to look at

Niggas literally be acting like TKO invented commercials

>>18635977
>still defending slop

>>18635844
The show would still be completely unwatchable if there were zero ads the entire time. Viking experience shouldn't be on wrestlemania in the first place

WWE is just entering its WOAT era. Enjoy the show

>>18635184 (OP)
TKO and HHH didn't necessarily destroy your interest.
It's that by getting rid of Vince, they expose the fact that it wasn't Vince who ruined wrestling.
The entire company ruined it. Everyone with a 25+ year tenure was there for the switch from private promotion to publicly traded corporation.
The much hated creative team is a system put in place 21-23 years ago, and Stephanie was in charge of it all that time.
She and eventually HHH as well would sit with Vince in creative meetings to feed him the writing and he'd approve it and change his mind.
The only difference between then and now, is that there are now supposed to be no last minute changes, even though they occasionally happen thanks to the second creative team interfering with operations.

Long form short, the storytelling that's supposed to make wrestling a fun TV show you wanna see every week has been shit for 23 years for the same reason it always was.
Sequential TV writing performed by actors, and pro wrestling, are two incompatible worlds.

Ads on the mat and Slim Jim tables are the least of WWE's problems now. If you took those away you'd still have unwatchable boring shows and horrible storylines

You guys have no idea how bad it’s going to get. Tony Khan is a life long fan and even he doesn’t value training and experience. Ari Gold is either going to WWE into a faker version of celebrity boxing or we’re just going to get greener and greener wrestlers until even the agents are too far removed from good wrestling to give any meaningful coaching

>>18636125
Celebrity boxing and women's gymnastics.

>>18635184 (OP)
I fell out of love with WWE in 2004ish. It's still the same old shit. Glad the kids have some cool guys to look up to like Cody, though.

>>18635952
This is half the issue right here. WWE's ads are aimed at the dumbest simpletons on earth with low quality slop that matches the quality of the in-ring product. It reminds me that is wrestling is ultimately a product for retards and children

This is all one AEWtist. He's extremely mad that WWE is doing fantastic while AEW is in the mud. So he's inventing a fantasy that "TKO killed WWE". Needless to say he's very mentally ill.

>>18636284
i dont care about those stupid graphs e-drone the shows are fucking garbage

>>18635184 (OP)
It's Vince's fault that he sold the company in the first place. TKO being a greedy Jew as always. Triple H now sucks at creative. Tony Khan fumbled AEW's potential. New Japan in decline because they're heavy reliance on gaijins than domestic talents and Tony's piss poor partnership.
TLDR, wrestling is dead

>>18636310
I'm reduced to watching joshi because everything else sucks.

>>18636157
same here anon. I turned 18 in 2004 and it was the perfect way to end it. I did get together with work buddies to watch the WM where Taker lost. One guy was in complete shock......
I just now realized, no one has ever talked about wrestling at work since then.

>>18636302
>the shows are fucking garbage
They're better than anything AEW puts out.

>>18636453
>They're better than anything AEW puts out.
maybe if you dont look at the tv

>>18636446
Smarks seriously underestimate how important the streak was. Ending it killed a lot of the remaining casual interest in WWE.

>>18636490
Most wrestling fans don't look at the TV when AEW is on. That's why Dynamite did only 565k this week.

>>18636453
THIS stupid ass meme again... yeah yeah, /pw/ os for literal retards. Thanks for reminding us. Now go fa gasize about me castrating myself, you fucking sicko

>>18635952
>basic kanji and the inability to do transparent backgrounds like some boomer is better to look at

>>18636453
AEW PPV's are objectively the best wrestling shows on the planet month by month.

>>18636530
>/pw/ os for literal retards
>os
That explains why you're here

>>18636597
Wrong. AEW PPVs have been awful, boring slogs for years now.

>>18635184 (OP)
Retard

>>18636634
yeah thats wwe's audience

>>18636633
AEW PPVs got ya boilin lil droniE?
not enough ads for ya?

>>18635184 (OP)
Check out JCW. Thank me later.

>>18636189
So, it would be better if the ads were fir high class products?

>>18636633
>oh my god, you hit the key right next to the correct one! What a retard!
I can only imagine what sad person creates this level of insecurity or arrogance. Why the fuck should I give a shit about proper grammar and typing to YOU? You ain't shit, faggot. Get over yourself
>buh-- buht muh raitin's sez ahm ahn duh raihts eyed! Ahm raight!
Sure. You win. Guess ill go cut my dick off now, winner

>>18635263
I love watching shitty no name rappers, C-list Netflix actors and unfunny and dysgenic Roganverse "comedians" gesticulating to a camera pointed at their faces for the 5 second shot that they got there 2 minutes beforehand and leave their seat as soon as its over.

It's still better than gAyEW but not by much and it would just mea two bad promotions.

>>18636074
I like how Fraxiom got called up basically as hot as they ever were, everyone praising them, them constantly having show stealing matches and what have they done since? Lost a few times and be scared of the Wyatts or something, I don't know they're never in matches.

>>18635184 (OP)
>kill interest in pro wrestling
>TKO
Nah, interested in wrestling died in 2002, that's on Trips not TKO. TKO did not make it worse either hence WWE is a walking corpse since 2000s.

>>18636310
He sold it to TKO because he was mad about Stephanie pushing him out and sold it to people who offered less money because he thought it would fuck her over and let him remain in control and then thew jews jewed him out of the company and I'd bet Ari probably leaked the Janel Grant shit as a killshot.
