Reminder that Konnor was singled out for a bright future on the WWE back in the day.
Here he is breaking ground at the Performance Center along other promising future stars such as Mason Ryan.

All around the internet, it seems that people are quitting the WWE in droves. Attendance, has been plummeting, most WWE Raw and Smackdown TV tapings taking place in half-empty arenas, ratings, although they've been up these past few weeks, have been plummeting year-to-year. With a record revenue of 214 million for the year of 2017, they've only managed to flip a 5,000,000 dollar profit as of August and both Wrestlemania and the Royal Rumble are behind us. They'll surely get slaughtered once Football returns and be lowballed even further by the USA network (which the WWE felt lowballed them the last time they had a TV rights contract deal, BEFORE the record low ratings of 2016 and early 2017) in 2019. The general consensus on here, 420chan, reddit, Facebook, Twitter, EVERYWHERE Professional Wrestling is discussed online is that the company is in atrocious shape right now and the only fanbase it has left are cultists who follow blindly, who have also started to tune out. The company has found itself under immense scrutiny from the criticism of Roman Reigns to ripping apart Bring it to the Table, the celebration of the company being in rough shape, Alvarez and Meltzer now having tremendous influence, also having their most profitable years in a long time.

But here comes NJPW offering an alternative.
While WWE is having one of its worst years ever, NJPW is white-hot and rapidly growing, up 20% from last year which was 30% up from the year before that, which was up from the year before that and so on and so forth. They're booking larger arenas, they're stepping into different continents, they're putting on unbelievable matches. This is a company with confidence, ambition and a passion to grow. This is a dangerous company with all the momentum in the world to expand, the ability to sell out their first shows in the United States in MINUTES, something the WWE, with all the millions in the world still struggle to do. Wrestling fans, they've heard about the 6 star matches, the Bullet Club (As held evident by their T-shirts selling out more times than anyone could've ever predicted), the antics of Naito, the young stud Okada, Kenny Omega, Being the Elite, the G1, Dominion, as Meltzer himself said "The product is just hot right now". Soon enough, they'll get a TV deal here in the United States. Soon enough, they'll be back to sell out an arena of 15,000. Soon enough, they'll perform in front of passionate, rabid and white-hot fans who have chips on their shoulders and voices to be heard. Soon, we'll have Daniel Bryan and CM Punk to help out with the U.S expansion. We'll have Batista and John Cena who are fed up with the corporate, political bullshit in the WWE. And there will not be a damn thing to stop us.
Welcome to the revolution, /asp/. I hope you choose to pledge your allegiance to the right side in this war.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the WWE is in major cost cutting mode in an attempt to increase the profit margin over the next six months. One of the big cut backs is on the WWE Network side, where they have been eliminating new and original content. The Edge & Christian show isn’t being renewed, Talking Smack was cut back from a weekly show to only after PPV shows, and the R-Truth game show that was planned for this year has also been canceled. They have also cut back on some travel expenses. Pyro was eliminated as the company felt that it was a significant cost that doesn’t really make a big difference in adding revenue. https://411mania.com/wrestling/more-details-on-where-wwe-is-cutting-costs/

>All Japan had some good years the 90s with great matches [Misawa/Kobashi] but what these guys in New Japan are doing right now is insane. This year has been insane. They're redefining what good wrestling is. They're setting the standard so high that like it's scary because it's also dangerous. I mean just look at what Ibushi and Naito did and then look at Ibushi and Zack Sabre Jr. like two completely different matches that were freaking awesome. There's never been a year like this.
Is le Meltz right? Are we witnessing the new golden era in wrestling?

from this week's Bring It To The Table with Peter Rosenberg, JBL and Corey Graves. JBL says a reunion of The Shield is not necessarily a positive thing. JBL believes Roman Reigns is the guy they want to carry the company and sell the tickets but Reigns with The Shield didn't sell tickets. JBL says Reigns is the guy everyone comes to boo, and that sells tickets & merchandise. Graves loves the potential for Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose but he wonders if the WWE Universe would react differently to Reigns if they did a full-blown three-member reunion.

>>2956928
>No one pays to see someone they don't like.
But they do. They pay to see them lose. The problem here is that Reigns very rarely does, so people have just kinda lost hope, which is why they are tuning out. They've been burned so many times that they are unable to invest in anything, because they know it'll ultimately end with Reigns on top or the challenger looking like a geek. Or both!
