Why doesn't WWE hold PPVs in Seattle, Portland or Denver? Is it because they tend to draw poorly compared to Chicago or Boston? Thanks!
No, it's likely that the company just hasn't gotten there yet. They did hold Wrestlemania in Seattle once.
To follow up on the question re: the biggest missed opportunity in wrestling history: if the biggest WCW stars had come on board at the beginning, would the Invasion have been booked differently? With WWE still ultimately winning, would WCW have at least been booked differently?
I believe so. I don't think Goldberg, Scott Steiner, Sting, Ric Flair, etc. would have been booked the way The Natural Born Thrillaz and Mike Awesome were booked from a creative standpoint.
So I'm watching Talking Smack and seeing the interaction of the Hype Bros, AJ, and Corbin speaking from THEIR heart and THEIR own words along with Goldberg's segment from Monday has me feeling emotion I haven't felt from the "main roster" in years! As much as it's a "tv show" now and not a "wrestling show" according to Vince, no one can deny just how much more authentic these people are without being scripted every word that comes out of their mouth, do you think there is any chance Vince sees this and starts allowing all/more talent to do this on RAW and SD? You talk about changing things up, I think that would do more than any match stipulation or multi PPV months on the network could ever do to generate excitement and intrigue for the product!
I certainly hope so. Unlike a lot of very produced segments on Raw and Smackdown, "Talking Smack" feels far more off the cuff and realistic. Certainly it makes the characters come off far more invested in their goals and in what drives them. It's the difference between a one dimensional character and a fully formed persona. I certainly hope that the way talents are presented and allowed to speak from the heart on Raw and Smackdown down the line. It would be extremely beneficial to the company.
Why is that Byron Saxton gets picked on and never tends to stand up for himself? The worst thing about it is that he's a former wrestler, so he should be standing for himself. Again, why?
He's doing what he is instructed to do.
