You're just saying shyt.

I’ve been to Vegas and New Orleans for events. New Orleans is living off its past reputation pre Katrina. New Orleans is unsafe and poorly ran and has been for years. Vegas has transformed from dusty mafia town to an entertainment juggernaut with soon to be 4 major professional teams

Wrestlemania in NO was supposed to be Lil Wayne’s moment. Why do they keep taking it from him? :mjcry:

Somehow Aubrey's Angels will blame Kendrick Lamar for this like they did the Super Bowl.

It's still wild that outst his own daughter from sheer voting power to just sell it. Like wow....



Burn bridges ? More like that bridge got nuked.


It's insane that The Coach of all people is still on terms with Vince.

Wwe is getting more & more corporate by the year. I thought it was bad enough when they went public now this.

Wrestlemania this year was underwhelming. Them going to different cities every year is what makes the event unique.

The company whored itself out to any & everybody.

The marks will still watch, complain, and give them money too. Nothing will change. :dead:

It's low risk, high reward when the casinos will be buying a lot of tickets for comps so it guarantees a certain amount of $ before the public gets involved. That means that creative doesn't even have to be "good" because they'll already know what the ballpark figure is looking like.

The risk they are running is when wrestling peaks, the valleys aren't usually that far behind and they happen when creative gets lazy and complacent. 'WrestleMania' being soulless and extra corporate is one thing, it's fine if the product is still hot, it's trouble when creative starts faltering.

I legit don’t get why anyone would look at this as a bad thing. Like I’m confused
Vegas is better suited for big events, the city doesn’t make the show creative does
I’d rather do a weekend in Vegas than a weekend in NO
They will still do bum fukk towns like Indianapolis (yes I’m hating)
There is literally nothing bad to take away from this as a fan I don’t know why y’all are making it seem like this is going to hurt the product.
It will make the company more money which means they can pay their people more money
I just think y’all don’t like change or capitalism, it’s called show business for a reason.
because

fed bad :mad:

It’s what happens when you go public. Got to constantly be growing and making more money or the stock holders start causing shyt.

It’s just another in a long list of examples of the capitalism-infused, anti-user enshytification of the world for short term profits at the expense of long term stability and success where the only thing that matters is growth, growth, growth.

Much of what I read in this article about the enshytification of the tech industry mirrors what WWE is doing. And WWE is still very young in their TKO full-scale public, corporate era. The anti-fan business practices are only going to get worse with time.

WWE claims to be a sports entertainment company instead of a wrestling company, but it not even that anymore. What it’s really become is a “we’ll do whatever the fukk we want company” because they think their fans are stupid fukking marks. Why? Because they largely are going to keep doing what WWE wants them to do no matter how bad it gets.

And that’s why’s WWE always tries to suppress and eliminate the competition - it prevents their ability to feed you the laziest shyt product because to make it more fan friendly would likely come at the cost of profits. And the Supreme Court, many, many years before any of us on here were ever born, that it’s illegal for a public company to do things that are knowingly counterproductive to growing revenue.
