Inside WWE's fukkery - VICE article

[prophecypro]

The obvious solution is competition. When you have 1 dominant company (monopoly) in an industry your product becomes stale. You need competition to keep you on your toes. If I were Vince I'd buy a piece of TNA or whatever they're called now. And profit off of both sides of the war.

Wasn't he supposed to do that when he brought WCW and give it its own slot?
Wasn't he trying to tell us that he was trying to create internal competition with the brand split?

Come on man, Cokeboy dont know how to do this...

Steph turning pale and Kang freaking out?

Sounds like they know Shane still has a legit shot in getting in Vince's ear to get him thinking on some things before he cashes out.

No way vince doesnt leave his part in company to shane.

His father handed it to him. And hes gon hand it to steph and kang? No way

Steph and HHH destroyed the WWF/E in the early 00's when Steph became head writer/creative. That's when the quality of the programming took a nosedive. As a kid I was obsessed with wrestling and never missed an episode of Raw/Monday Nitro. Even if I was severely ill I would watch that shyt religiously. Around the time Steph took over was when I missed an episode for the first time. I thought it was odd that they were giving HHH more screen time when you had Austin, The Rock, Hogan all on the same roster. Back then I didn't know about the backstage politics that was going on.

When Vince dies it's sold to Disney or Universal. It's very rare for a company of WWE's scope to still be a family company

His father handed it to him.

His father was reluctant to sell the company to him and included a clause in the contract that almost certainly would have reverted ownership to the old man and his gang.

Vince has the luck of the Irish for sure, brother.

Well, if it's true that Dunn and Shane are close, that certainly puts Shane in a good position because Dunn is still Vince's right hand man, much to the chagrin of Trips and Steph. This also pretty much confirms those rumors that Dunn was actively trying to sabotage NXT call-ups to make it seem like Trips had a bad eye for talent.

So that bucky beaver teeth motherfukker was trying to make a move to save his job in the company calling Shane

And that is only a fraction of the fukkery that must happen behind the scenes we'll probably never know

This graph explains what I have been saying on here. There are way more casuals than hardcores ("Passionate fans") which is why WWE will always cater to casuals. That and the fact the hardcores will never ever stop watching

What's the difference between a lapsed fan and a casual fan? A causal fan will watch every once in a while if something peaks their interest? A lapsed fan used to be a hardcore fan but doesn't really care too much anymore? But could be enticed to watch again under the right circumstances?

I've been trying to tell this to the people who were seemingly shocked as hell at how big Roman is (especially outside of the US). The casuals don't give a shyt about him not paying his dues in the indies or whatever, they just see the man who main evented two Wrestlemania's back to back.

A casual watches the big shows..a lapsed fan used to be a casual or hardcore but completely doesn't watch anymore..aka everyone who was watching in 98-01 but moved on

Ah, that makes sense! Thank you!

i don't see why they don't make a series about this shyt

this is way more interesting than the storylines they have going for them.
