Is this the hottest WWE has been since the attitude era?
>>16479785didn't feel like that, that show sucked
>>16479785afraid so
>>16479785Oh you sweet summer child
>>16479785They're making so much money, they're cutting back house shows - not because house shows aren't profitable, but because they have so many other profitable revenue streams to cover it (video games, merch, social media and more)They're not even concerned with market share, that's how much money they're making from the current fanbase. And it will only go up once Netflix takes over internationally
>>16479785Nah it's losing popularity actually. It was hot while Roman was champion tho!
>>16479785Nothing happened.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>16480316nosebleeds are now over 300 dollars good luck with that e-drone tko is bleeding money out of you
>>16480316why can't the average person name more than 2 active wrestlers from the current roster? I'm lucky to meet someone that knows Roman, let alone Cody.At least people knew Brock (and he's from 2002) kinda grim
>>16479785100%. I love this white hot fed
It's impossible to say. What constitutes being "hot" in the late 90s up through roughly 2010 is very different than what it means to be "hot" in the 2020s. You're trying to compare apples and oranges. It can't be done.
>>16479785IS THAT LE HECKING WINGED EAGLE BELT! I’M MARKING OOOOOOOOUT!
>>16481331Pretty much. International markets changed everything. Back then North America was the only metric they cared about. If we're using that? Then no. It's nowhere near as popular or mainstream in USA/Canada than it was back then. Same with movies. International box office changed everything even as domestic box offices took a nosedive.
>>164813150 mainstream appeal.It might be "hot" between wrestling fans but no one outside of the wrestling bubble knows the "big names" WWE has right now.Despite pushing Roman for a decade he has no other media crossover appeal. No one besides pajeets knows who he is. Quite unironically more people know CM Punk than Roman. inb4 muh record profits, Roman lost several millies of people in ratings ever since his push started. Several MILLION people.
>>16481386so why does it matter if WWE is making more money if it has zero cultural impact?
Trying to use mainstream appeal as a metric in 2025 is not useful. Popular culture is too fragmented by the internet and streaming for any media property to penetrate the zeitgeist to the degree that they could in the 90s. Again, this argument is a fool's errand.
>>16479785This didn't happen in the attitude era.
>>16481434Or this.
>>16481435Or this.
>>16481436Or this.
>>16480316but it's artificial if you think about it. It's all from media rights and sponsors instead of from consumers.
>>16481441And then Fox comes out and says WWE fans are low IQ, poor, and not worth advertising to. God pro wrestling is ice fucking cold and cringe.
>>16481400It doesn't, that's my point. Especially from a fan's perspective
>>16479785>homoerotic pose by Cody Rhodes
>>16481435>Or this.Indeed
>>16479785It absolutely is, don't let the trannies boiling in this tell you otherwise.Profits alone, mainstream exposure and attendance records, hell Cody got on the top 10 of overall fanatics merch (these guys also sell NFL, MLB and NBA merch) and it will keep getting hotter.
>>16481490Sorry tranny, wrestling is ice cold, just like your cock as it lies in a box of ice somewhere.
>>16481495Your pissant company being ice cold doesn't mean all of wrestling is. I'm sorry.
>>16481506kek here's the cope about even deader companiesmeanwhile the #1 company is ice fucking coldgod wrestling is such a tranny hobby, I miss the 90s
>>16480316>leaving profitable ventures because they making too much moneythat's not how business works you coping mark lmao>how much money they're making from the current fanbase. And it will only go up once Netflix takes over internationallythey were fully international since 2010 you retarded zoomer broadband internet reached the remotest of shitholes in late 00s>>16481314>nosebleeds are now over 300 dollarsthis is also not good btw because the ticket price inflation happens due to Ticketmaster / Live-Nation monopoly tactics, its been a real problem in music industry for awhile, the thing is most of the money go to TM/LN and they dictate the ticket prices too
>>16481513Yet you are here malding in a wrestling board you retarded faggotkek here's the cope about being a troon pretending to hate all wrestling because his pissant company is ice cold and dead on the floor
>>16479785No, it has no mainstream appeal
>>16481535>yes they're making a shitton of money and a mainstream platform paid them 5 billion to air their shows but that's not what business is all about! it's all dead actually!You are absolutely fucking retarded lmaoooooo
Very low IQ thread. Quite grim, but sadly I'm not surprised.
>>16481386Cable cutting lost several million people you spacker. Literally every single show outside of live sports has dropped by millions
>>16481535You're a fucking retarded dumb shit. Moving all international deals from TV to Internet means people go from paying 40-80/mo or more, to just paying for Netflix.And yes, cutting back on lower profit margin is in fact what businesses do. Grocery stores can only hold so many thousands of products, so if their choices are 3% or 6%, they're going to keep the 6% product and cut back on the others. Unprofitable items rarely make it to the shelves, they mark it down and get it out of the system.But again you're just a retarded moron making up shit as you go along, zero knowledge, expertise or experience. Just another fuckhead "trolling fed fans" like your hero WWERealOne
>>16481513It had 56k fans, shattering the previous modern day record. It was the 4th stadium show in 2024, AEW had exactly 1, and will have 1 next year. AEW tried to have a 2nd stadium show but their ice cold donkey dick show didn't move tickets.
>>16479785YEAH Feels so good to be a EChad, bros.
>>16481552>b-b-but they're making so much money don't to make moreyou are literally unironically unequivocally unquestionably irreversibly retarded
>>16481590>don't to make moreGOOD MORNING SAARS!
>>16481570Firstly you malding faggot i have no idea who those people you're talking about are. Secondly just because its cheaper doesn't mean shit, Peacock was five bucks a month. Thirdly you fucking obese faggot stop comparing everything to the food.
>>16481596>typo is a saargrasping for straws now huh, this is not how you use it you monumentally retarded zoomer homofaggot
>>16481603No argument. Figures. I accept your concession. In the future, learn to shut the fuck up when the adults are talking. We don't need to hear your retarded off topic sperg bullshit.
You're both retards btw.
>>16481590You absolute fucking retarded tranny faggot, they stopped doing house shows to focus resources on improving the programming since you know, they got a 5 billion deal with netflix and to preserve the well being of the talent and they're still gonna do some shows outside televised, you're insanely fucking retarded beyond belief.
>>16481603Damn, not a good day for the Pork Wheeler Wonder I'm afraid.
>>16481623>No argumentCan't you fucking read, Peacock was international and cheaper so your argument about NF is invalid. Comparing literal apples and oranges to wrestling is the most obese thing i've ever heard on this site, again, that's not how business is run your welfare ass doesn't understand shit. Also here's a history fact for a retarded (you), WWE is not the first wrestling show to get a Netflix deal, a few years ago when Lucha Underground was hot they got a deal, and they were airing on some very small and niche channel before so for them that was an actual improvement, but guess what you dumb fucking sodomite, it didn't change shit for them, womeme wrestling was still a turn off for casuals and they still got closed. Now Cawdy is not a woman i'll admit, but he's a vanilla twink homoerotic faggot that only women would like and they are not main wrestling demographic, so it won't change shit, and this is why he's bombing now, cope seethe, but that i the objective irrefutable truth that you can't deny, homofaggotry just doesn't draw.
>>16481630>b-b-but they didn't cancell all of house shows>hurrr durrrrrr they make so much money don't need to make more>akkkkshually they just want to take care of glass shitters>yooooouuuuuu don't understand they neeed that to improoove programmingall of that is your headcanon and has nothing to do with reality or logic for that matter
>>16481648>cody is bombingWe get it, you were one of those troon smarks who booed him at AEW who claimed he is not a draw and since his massive success you are now mad because you were exposed as a retarded faggot along the plebbitors who still watch that pissant company. That or a pajeet malding at him since Roman jobbed to him, which explains your poor English.Keep malding obese fag, the numbers don't lie.
>open Xitter>first thing in my feed is Dave arguing this same exact topic with braindead retardsWe live in a simulation.
>>16481611>the issue with dont to make more is a typojust stop, ranjid
here are your cheapest TV show nosebleed tickets
>>16481665>you were at AEW>you are a pajeet Roman's fans you have your seething tangled with your coping mark>your poor Englishnah your>>16481714missing a word and not typing an apostrophe is a typo, i know more about english than your ass knows about cock, my GDE score is levels above you and thats a shoot, i'm so smart compared to you you would be a nigger of niggers and thats not just a shoot thats a spoiler shoot brother
>>16481872>high ticket price means company is hotbaka
>>16481872High ticket prices is good because it keeps out the riff-raff and morbidly obese gunted slobs who like AEW
Best since 98/99 so best this century definitely
>>16481974you sound like a complete fag
>>16481314Damn sounds like the e-gods are a filthy rich fanbase after all
>>16483626nah you are
>>16482744>current slop is hotter than Ruthless Aggresion EraEven PG was drawing three times the current ratings, you zoomer smarks are completely delusional, more so than the original smarks of the 10s
>>16479785It absolutely is, it's just a shame this new generation of children, manchildren, and straight up retards are so impressed by such a low quality product.
>>16479785>Worst WWE has ever been >Pulling New Generation level tv ratings yet screech record profits (money laundering/blood money deals)>Actually its the best because TKO jews told me it is Is this the power of the Eslop brainwashing?
>>164838622019 WWE was far, far worse.
>>16479785yes
>>16481314>wwe charges 300$ for nosebleeds>sells out the stadium>AEW charges 10$ BOGO>1/8th full arena AEW is a walking corpse
>>16481648>womeme wrestlers Yeah those fit bimbos play fighting really turns off men. That's why Sable always pulled higher quarter hours than Austin. >lucha underground didn't gain anythingNot only is that retarded, 90% of people who talk about LU only know it from Netflix. And there is a big difference between >Mexican product with no American fans does niche although wrestling And>Worlds biggest wrestling company moves it's A show to Netflix. Do I need to explain it or are you just gonna spam another 3 paragraphs of dunning kruger?
>>16481314Paid 350 for floor for the jan 6th Netflix show. It sucks, but they ask for these prices because they can and everyone buys it. Red hot business.
>>16479785>>16480316>>16481386>>16483862>>16483853WWE isn't as popular domestically but they've grown massively around the world. The positive momentum they have is undeniable.
I'd put my finger on my bellybutton and sniff it if I was him but the belt is in the way
>>16479785No
