Is this true? Did Vince really care?
>>
I think Vince just knew most of his audience was poor, knew the business had ups and downs and knew it's better to get people in at a lesser place than not at all.
>>
>>18791318
Probably. Vince was super autistic about certain things when it came to the business.
>>
>>18791318
The Jews in charge now are all about the money
>>
>Mark
heh
>>
Add it to the 'Apologise to Vince' list...
>>
I'd take Vince's word over some fat-nosed goblin kike any day. WWE is a pipeline you hook kids when they're young by making it watchable on TV or cheap enough for their parents to afford to take them to shows, then you make money out of them for the rest of their life. TKO are concerned with making as much money as soon as possible with little regard for the future. That strategy is what kept Vince alive in the 90s.

>>18791318
he's the one who sold the company?

he's a handsome motherfucker what are you talking about. better looking than vince ever was

>Shapiro was raised in Glenview, Illinois, the eldest child of Judith and Harold Shapiro
>Judith
oy vey!
>>
>>18791318
One would imagine that that's a long term strategy to get kids into the product who will one day become paying customers. But yes, fuck that shit. Pay up. Fuck the future.
>>
>>18791318
WE MISS YOU GOAT

>>18791417
Now let's see the side profile. Kikes are spiritually ugly which is worse than just being ugly. Uncanny and unsettling.

Bump!

(((Shapiro)))
>>
Yup Vince was a man of the people unlike (((TKO)))
>>
>>18791318
Vince never lost touch with his roots of being poor white trash who just wanted to see the wrestling.
He's playing Dr. Jerry Graham. He's always been playing Dr. Jerry Graham.
>>
>>18791318
Unironically makes sense since few people are having kids and starting families in 2025. Better to price it high for the unattached man children consoomer with lots of disposable income who will still pay.
>>
He had tegrity
>>
>>18791318
With the attendance dropping off a cliff in the later years why the fuck would he raise prices
>>
>>18791318
Vince was a terrible businessman. Other than outsmarting a bunch of inbred hick dinosaurs in the 80s, all his successes were down to luck or the ideas of others. Every other venture he's attempted besides wrestling has been an abject failure. He almost bankrupted the promotion the moment it faced actual competition, and was only saved by the fact the other guys were bigger carnies.

>Hogan
Idea for gimmick stolen from his dad and repeated ad verbatim

>Stone Cold
Stuck him as a fucking circus ringmaster, and wanted to call him Chilly McFreeze.

>The Rock
Had to be saved by his involvement the Nation of Domination after his disastrous debut, a faction which Cornette came up with.

And the list goes on. The fact of the matter is, had WCW been even slightly more competent, we'd be talking about Vince in the same vein as Bill Watts and Verne Gagne. He got lucky and had been coasting by for the last 20 years of his tenure on the fact that he was the only game in town.
>>
Vince sold the company because he couldn't be in charge. He threw a tantrum like a bitch and we all have to suffer for it
>>
i someone who has watched ufc for years if tko does the same shit to wwe it will kill all the passion/soul
>>
>>18791318
vince wasn't a retard and he saw more long term profit and sustainability by targeting WWE towards kids and families. TKO is legit retarded/malicious and is going to kill the industry for a quick buck
>>
Vince was a weird guy who desperately wanted to be taken seriously, but never wanted to abandon the trash people he spawns from.
>>
>>18793485
UFC can go upmarket compared to WWE. They want to be like football and target normies first. WWE's base will always be sort of... different.
>>
>>18791318
Makes sense, get people in seats for cheap and then make the big money on letting everyone spend the money on food, drinks and merch
>>
>>18791318
Vince was right about everything.
>>
>>18793643
even shoving leaves into vaginas?
>>
Vince recognized that a big crowd of varied and relatively normal people always made everything look and feel more legitimate when on TV.
Once the Tarp Era began, it seems everyone else besides Vince was terrified and sought to simply retain the hardcore fans who wouldn't mind being packed in on the side the hardcam is viewing while their favorite wrestlers keep coming out to talk to empty seats with their back turned towards the paying audience.
>>
>>18791417
Looks like a cyclist creep. Anybody else?
>>
>Jews laughing at vince for caring about the working class

Grim
>>
>>18793891
huh... he really does have a cyclist head. what an odd but accurate comparison
>>
>>18791318
Of course he did. Its entirely possible for him to be an out of touch weirdo rapist but also have principles that these jews running the show today completely lack

Reminder that most wrestlers with actual lived experience with Vince still treat him with respect. Hes not a literal wrestling hitler despite reddit treating him like one
>>
>>18791318
Some people honestly think being a pervert = being a bad businessman
Obviously Vince didn't always make the best business decisions for the company, but he still kept it alive for like 4 decades even throughout its most difficult period. That says a lot in itself
>>
No he didn't care but he wasn't an insane jew. He thought they were making good money but jews can always make more.
>>
>>18791318
>Want to milk as much money as possible from the WWE Universe™©®
>Still refuse to do house shows
What the fuck is their problem?
>>
Guy next to me on the train smells like a week old unwashed tupperware that used to contain spaghetti bolognese

corpo types at TKO get bonuses up when profits go up every quarter so they only focus on short term gains and not long term profits cause they probably aint gonna be working there in 10 years anyway so they gut and drain the company and move on to the next
>>
>>18791318
Yes, Vince always kept the tickets at a halfway reasonable price. He always made sure kayfabe was intact, even in the social media age, and he made sure the product had some heart and soul. It now has none of these things.
>>
>>18791318
Vince loved us, I love him.
>>
>>18794226
>out of touch weirdo rapist
he was a weirdo but never out of touch like TKO and he didn't rape anyone. He's only guilty of being a dirty old man with fetishes but never raped anyone. Stop spreading lies, you fuck.
>>
>>18791318
vince always wanted WWE to be some family orientated show. they already started milking fans years ago, WWE is culturally irrelevant these days but they make a ridiculous amount per head.
>>
Vince knew his booking was shit and that increasing ticket prices would be a terrible idea
>>
>>18791335
consistently sell tickets to your fans or price them out and get half full arenas
>>
>>18794617
Tickets sales don't seem to be slowing down at all
>>
>>18793648
Especially that.
>>
>>18794617
You don't know how TKO operates, pal.

UFC only runs like 5 venues a year. If a place doesn't fill up because people can't afford it, they will simply never run that place again and will run another Saudi show.
They could not give less of a fuck about the fanbase.
>>
>>18791417
I’m guessing you’re being sarcastic because this is one ugly fucking jew.
>>
>>18791451
I've got an aunt named Judy and I'm gentile scotch-irish stock. It's not an uncommon name with Christians either, like other Bible names. The last name is where you start to get Jewish.
>>
>>18794153
>Vince wants to trick poorfags into wasting 3 hours of life on a trash product
I'm laughing too
>>
>>18791392
Nah, he had to sell the company i think. I mean he was looking for a buyer but ultimately he had to sell it but then he got forced out in the end.
Its not something i think about so im just going off of memory and likely have it wrong.
>>
>>18791318
WWE is a soulless husk of what it used to be.
>>
>>18794708
>>18794708
>They could not give less of a fuck about the fanbase
that's why none of my friends watch anymore.
>>
>>18791335
This. Pro wrestling is working class and he was a sole ruler of the company. Now there’s more shareholders to consider
>>
>>18791335
pro wrestling is all about hype, more people more hype
>>
>>18791318
Lol, it's called building a relationship with your customers in different cities to attend your shows and will in the future because of the price. Now, they maximize profits and alienate a lot of the fans who can keep up with the prices, not just for themselves but X amount of timed because of kids, while barely being able to afford their own living situation.
It's like the Triple A gaming industry who thinks everyone can afford high end PC's just to make their dogshit optimized games barely run with the most current hardware on the market.
>>
>>18791318
Vince knew that if you made it affordable for families some of those kids would get hooked and become a consistent source of money because he was an actual smart (most of the time) businessman, not some MBA faggot who only thinks about the next quarter.
>>
>announces record gate in front of the crowd and gets cheered for it
it's too easy
>>
yes
>>
>>18795638
This shit blew my mind
