I know people are saying the rating isn't the problem, but it is

If they go back to what made them succesful, hardcore shit and larger than life characters, the ratings will without a doubt spike

Enough of vanilla retards rolling around in diapers being happy to be there

We need shit like Bayley stripping nude, Jasethy cutting sublty-racist promos on Apollo Creed, Ambrose destroying HHH's car with a monster truck, Wyatt torturing people in his "compound", Reigns spearing Sasha banks, etc

It will give these vanilla midgets an opening to at least showcase SOME character with unscripted, unfiltered promos

>In all the time I've been a fan of pro wrestling, I've never been more concerned, or more scared, about its future. Not that the business won't be around, because WWE has so much money, but that pro wrestling, unless the problems are addressed, will end up at a lower level of popularity than at any time in recent memory.

>To look at the 1992-1995 period in the U.S. and say things were far worse, and in ways they were far worse, misses a major point. Yes, revenues were far lower, and about the only promoter in the U.S. running at a profit was Jerry Jarrett with the USWA. But it felt like there were people interested in wrestling, and more, there were so many things about wrestling being done internationally, in particular in Japan and Mexico, that were revolutionary at the time.

>There were many great wrestlers around who, often because of size, had not been exposed to the U.S. fan base. There were ideas that could shake things up, such as the UWFI vs. New Japan feud in Japan that Eric Bischoff saw at a sold out Tokyo Dome which led to the NWO angle that was one of the things that started the ball rolling. There was ECW as a cult favorite, using both ideas from Japan, creating new talent, and some new ideas that started getting a cult following. Today, there is none of that. While Mexico is doing fine, the smaller guys doing incredible high spots that was one of the new innovations of the late 90s, has already been done in the U.S.

>Today, the public has seen every great high flying move and due to so many injuries, WWE has shied away from "holy shit" moments. The ECW hardcore, taken from FMW in Japan, with the table breaking and heavy usage of weapons and blood, came, was hot, but has been passe for some time.

>There is no new style, new angle, or new wrestlers making their mark overseas that can be imported to make things fresh.

So, this is Max Landis. Creator of "Wrestling isn't Wrestling" on YouTube.
His father is a famous Hollywood director, is a HUGE sjw.
Now, after the rise of his youtube video Landis seemed to have a relationship with WWE. From what I remember, he was some kind of consultant.
Lately, we have been bombarded with with SJW agenda of - Aesthetically shitty champs, Divas are getting A LOT of attention, Steph having some feminist weird bullshit.
I can absolutely see the black card being played in the near future.
Is this "man" to blame?
