I see where the non Kliq stans are coming from though :patrice:

We've already seen what HHH & Steph can do, and it's been :francis:

Minus well see what Shane can do, honestly how much worse could things get :manny:

For real, how much worse can it get? Last year was just dreadful. Maybe two or three weeks of good TV out of the whole year. Steph''s creative work in the last decade hasnt exactly been the best. When HHH stops being all up in the videos on the main roster, then I'll take him seriously as a creative mind. It's easy to just raid the indies with the resources he has and just book dream matches like he has on NXT .

I could care less about the business side. if the TV product has sucked for years, then it's time for a change.

Glad someone said it.

The problem is Shane didn't really prove himself. Hate to harp on the Chinese co. stock but it is what it is

YOU On Demand Holdings Inc.

Peep the 5 yr



I guess. Although generally, wrestling-wise, NXT couldn't be much further away from ECW.

China is going through a devastating recession. Hard to introduce ppv in that climate. I'm sure Vince respects that Shane tried

Theory has always been Shane is a great business mind but terrible with booking ideas

And the reverse is true for Stephanie
Stock price of YOD down 90% since launch - disproves Shane's "great business mind". WWE stock up 50% since Shane left. Pretty good case for Steph. 4th time I've had to point this out in the thread - hopefully eventually people will acknowledge it.

Plenty of Chinese companies are doing well. YOD is a big epic fail.

The fukk you talking about bruh? The stock price today is roughly the same as when Shane left :martin:. Yes, as with every publicly traded company it had its highs but let's not front like it hasn't seen its extreme lows either.

And the big reason YOD ain't popping off... They're trying to sell On Demand movies to CHINA!! The same China that pirates everything! Shane stated in an old interview that is the single biggest challenge facing any On Demand service in China as why would they pay anything for a movie which they can pirate. They have made som in roads but the company is nowhere where it wants to be.

That's the same reason the foreign video game companies are struggling in China and they debuted much later than YOD . Why would they spend all this money when they can pirate or get it off the grey market for much cheaper.

EDIT - and Stephanie bought out and tried to push Tout, that alone throws any argument for her in the bushes

That's really not an indicator that Shane isn't a great business mind. Business fails happens to everybody. Not sure if Shane or Steph are smart in their respective fields, but I'll take the words of others who know them.

Then why in god's name would you get into that biz?

We have different opinions then

I've heard the exact opposite :jbhmm: Ponderous

Guess it depends on who you listen to. I'ma go with Meltzer
Court Baur and Ed Ferrera said differently and both arguably left on good terms with the WWF and put their name on it.

Ed Ferrera said she was out right terrible, Court said he had a good relationship with her, but she was definitely different and hard to get along with.

Ed Ferrara was literally Russo's personal yes-man. Nobody took him or Court seriously

Russo himself has said that Stephanie was more like her father and Shane was more like Linda. That's really what it comes down to.

I can't wait for HHH and Shane to do a promo head-to-head. I don't know if I've ever looked forward to a promo more.

This is true. Vince is a terrible businessman as well.

Look at how terrible the XFL did. :troll:
