Don't you think it's time that WWE went away from promoting over the top body image and put more focus on character/personality development?
I definitely agree with the latter. I think WWE needs to focus more on the talents being real people, as opposed to obvious scripted character. It’s fine to be an amped up version of a person but to be a B movie character is a little much. But in the end, I really think people bond with personalities and I think WWE over scripts their talent and it hurts them in that respect. As for physiques, I think they have gotten better with that. Look at Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. They are top of the card guys who aren’t overly muscled.
Just wanting your thoughts on a comparison to how fans are treating the Reigns suspension when compared to other Superstars who have been suspended. When I look at the suspensions of Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, R-Truth, William Regal, and others, I have to wonder if fans are being a bit unfair and possibly hypocritical of their roasting of Roman.
I think it’s just an extension of the hostility that a lot of fans have for Reigns. Whatever can go after him about, they will. For whatever reason, a lot of male fans detest the guy and will take any chance that they get to rip him.
I was curious, do you know if WWE has a package for WWE Network that bars can buy and show PPVs and the live feed of the network? I would seriously doubt that a bar could get away with just paying $9.99.
As far as I know, WWE does not sell the Network to establishments. Its transmission is meant for individual viewing. If establishments want to show the events, they have to purchase the PPVs.
How come during the Lex Luger - Ric Flair feud Luger never got the win? In 1988 to 1990 ( yes Luger was a heel from May or June of 89 to I think February of 90) he was being built up as the top baby face of Jim Crockett Promotions behind Dusty Rhodes. Did the NWA-JCP feel that Lex wasn't the guy? I mean I remember the 1988 Great American Bash like it was yesterday and the pop that he got during "the Dusty" finish was awesome.
There was definitely the element of whether he was a true top guy or not in the minds of the people in charge. They came close to pulling the trigger, but chose not too. Of course, in late 1988 Sting stepped up and the promotion got more behind him.
I always put my Mt. Rushmore of greatest WWE Superstars as Hogan, Austin, Rock and Cena (sorry Bruno). But Putting together a list of WWE Greatest Athletes is a lot harder. Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle are easy, after that it’s tough. Ultimately, I’ll go with Ron Simmons third, and for the final slot, Ernie Ladd. (Others who I considered were RVD, Mr. Perfect, and John Morrison.) Who do you think are the best pure ATHLETES in WWE History?
Yep, Brock and Kurt are easy for sure. They were world class guys. I guess the rest depends on how you definite athletes. If you are talking about people that excelled at other sports before getting into wrestling, Simmons and Ladd are great choices. Scott Steiner would be in the conversation with the guys that you mentioned as would Dolph Ziggler, and I am sure I am forgetting other legitimate candidates.
