Remember that time that Daniel Bryan won the championship

And TNA tried to copy it by hotshotting the title onto the closest guy they had that looked like Bryan?

Fun facts:

-The Cena era is the one that turned away ''casuals'' from wrestling.
As much as Vince's philosophy is to push ''big guys with looks'' to attract casual viewers, this is largely disproven by Cena and a lesser extent, Orton. None of them attracted ''casuals'', they actually turned WWE into what it was before Austin and Rock, a fringe sector.

-the biggest draws of the Cena era remain Daniel Bryan and CM Punk, who do not correspond to Vince's standards, the only ones able to break into popular culture

-WWE's main competitors, boxing and UFC saw their biggest draws as well rejecting Vince's philosophy: Maywater, Conor and Ronda are 2 manlets and a woman, yet giga draws. WWE's push for the women division was an attempt to find their own Ronda, but it failed.

All those 5 names together prove that manlets with charisma (or even a woman) this days draw far more than ''big guys with looks'' who on the other side actually offer nothing to the casual audience.

HHH is aware of this, see NXT but also his latest interview specifying how audience doesn't care about height and weight of fighters any more.

This also shows why Roman will never be a draw. Casual audience doesn't care about looks. Casual audience wants stories and charisma. He can't offer either.

tl;dr
NWO Wolfcuc will have to swallow this, big guys don't draw a dime anymore if that's their only talent. Vince is out of touch and needs to retire.

kekerooni indie manlets utterly BURIED. Joey Ryan on suicide watch. Inoki on suicide watch. There is absolutely zero reason to watch anything but WWE anymore unless you're a fan of indistinguishable gook spotmonkeys and CAW vanilla midget "technicians."
