Vince Doesn't See Money in the Wrestling Thread

[TheNextNolan22]

I will say it could be Bo's doing as he is very annoying on Twitter with the puns, so it could be his idea. Howevr, something tells me it could be a rare bad idea by the NXT bookers.

I'm not the biggest Bo fan, and I feel he's been overhyped on FCW and later NXT, but he's exceptional in some areas. He plays the face in peril extremely well in my opinion.

To quote a good friend of mine in Tumblr: "Bo Dallas’ face makes me upset. His voice gives me diarrhea."

But seriously, dude is still very green. This years Royal Rumble was in my home-state of Arizona and I attended the live fan axxess event. The only two guys that were over were Corey Graves and Adrian Neville(my personal pick to win it). When Dallas won, not that many reactions. When I attended RR he got zero reaction. But I can see why they put him in there and let him be in there for so long. Take the greenest guy you can find so he can learn his ways and pay his dues.

But he is a really good seller and plays a very nice babyface. I've just yet to be impressed by him.

- There has been a lot of internal talk about WWE's long-term future internationally. Years ago, WWE's idea was that domestic business will be at a certain level, maybe not growing, but the big growth would be introducing the WWE product to new markets on TV and going to these new markets live once or twice a year but having a weekly TV presence.

However, after several years, the idea that business would end up 50% domestic and 50% international is not happening, and if anything, the domestic percentage is staying the same or slightly growing. It's been questioned where the next boom market is after an inability to maintain growth in Italy, Mexico, France, Spain and to an extent Turkey and Germany. Australia and the UK are the two outside markets that have remained very strong. The feeling within WWE is that the UK will always be strong but it’s the rest of Europe and Asia that the company is trying to focus on growing.

It would be nice if the WWE rewards that loyalty by one day letting a UK wrestler be WWE or World Heavyweight Champion.

I get the feeling Wade Barrett, Drew McIntyre and Mason Ryan are never going to get those belts.

.......Mason Ryan is still employed?

That's pretty much how I feel except I probably rate him higher than you. Selling is very important to me

Wade Barrett is a great talent. I don't know why he's been getting sh**ty booking for so long. Dude should've easily won the WWE Championship at Survivor Series 2010.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Looks like Davey Richards won't be at PWG Ten, but he will be participating in the 2013 BOLA Tournament. Wonder who's gonna face Brian Cage now.

I'm not really a fan but WWE ruined his new gimmick by not playing up the fight club feel. Wade should have been wearing jeans in his matches. He should have been a gun for hire since he said it's all about money for him.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Those Fight Club-style vignettes were amazing. They really wasted that potential.

 

[Kaleb]

Is that KENTA?

Yip

He was nowhere near ready then. Right now he's at his best, perfect balance of character and wrestling talent. He should walk out of MitB with the SD briefcase.

 

[nite-owl]

McIntyre should be glad that he is still employed.

[Lobo]

Agreed. Maybe he needs to shadow his brother for a few months lol.

I like him, reminds me of Tommy Rich. He's a perfect example of why WWE could use a couple more managers. I'd also like to see him on Main Event from time to time. And guess, it's a good thing I hardly ever look at my twitter account.

It would be nice if the WWE rewards that loyalty by one day letting a UK wrestler be WWE or World Heavyweight Champion.

I think Barrett will be WHC eventually. I think a Ziggler vs Barrett feud could be entertaining

I'm hoping it's him or Sandow.

 

[Darkness Falls]

what was the point of them revealing AA as suicide, teasing a match with bully by giving him the xdivision title if one week later they're just gonna have him drop the title back to sabin making the whole thing pointless

ugh i hate booking decisions like that

 

[nite-owl]

I always imagine TNA booking is done by picking stuff out of a hat.

 

[UnionJack]

Wade Barrett is a great talent. I don't know why he's been getting sh**ty booking for so long. Dude should've easily won the WWE Championship at Survivor Series 2010.

Because he is from England and WWE hate to push anyone from England.

 

[Hunter Rider]

WWE is hurting Bo Dallas with their booking. He's not without talent but it's his annoying promos that bug people. I get he's a white meat babyface but is it necessary to be so cheesy? Is referring to his fans as "Bolievers" supposed to get him over as a face? Because this isn't the reaction he should be getting:

http://www.wrestlingforum.com/20387065-post56.html

I think it might be part of a heel turn, you don't copy something from Bieber if you don't want heat. I think they are going to push him like Cena only this time knowing he'll be booed and actually purposely have him be a heel by using a traditional but outdated face character to generate heat.

I was thinking if not number 1, number 2. But that's more of the whole entrance he did. With the knock, the guards, the song, the whole shebang of it. If it was entrances we were talking about, he'd definitely get number 1.

The way he stood engulfed in the pyro and then came out of it snorting smoke like a minotaur sent up from hell and created in the fire was just amazing, the best use of pyro by any company IMO.

The whole presentation of Goldberg was brilliant. Plus he has a certain aura about him that someone like Ryback lacks. I will say that Ryback probably will be known as the better wrestler of the two.

If Goldberg had started in WWE with guys like Jericho, Angle, Benoit, Triple H, Taker and Foley there to help him rather than manipulate him like Nash and Hogan did, it would have been interesting to see what kind of worker he might have become. I mean just look at Batista; from his big lump first title reign in 2005 to his all round accomplished final title run in 2010.

It would be nice if the WWE rewards that loyalty by one day letting a UK wrestler be WWE or World Heavyweight Champion.

I get the feeling Wade Barrett, Drew McIntyre and Mason Ryan are never going to get those belts.

I'm torn as none of them are nearly as good as Davey Boy was.

Yip

KENTA a guest or just there as a fan?

WTF?

I've gotta give ROH credit, they must be the first wrestling company to hold an exclusive show for the gay community.
