Why is WWE obssesed with attitude era?

>Trips successfully pulls off NXT Takeover: Dallas
>2 nights after, Vince expects him to put Roman Luger over in front of tens of thousands of smarks.
>>1031174
> Triple H pulls off best NXT TakeOver ever
> Gets welcomed into WrestleMania as a hero
>>1031174
I'm fine with the potential card. We've had worse. Remember Miz vs Cena at 27?
>>1031178
That would have been okay if they didn't turn top heel Miz into the Rock's cuck.
From 1985-1990, or 1986-1989, Hulk Hogan almost never said or did anything patriotic besides use a patriotic theme song, until suddenly, after WrestleMania VI in Canada, he became very patriotic again. Was this deliberate? If so, it means the WWF planned to start shoving propaganda and cheap heat down people's throats to artificially keep themselves popular after the 1980s wrestling boom finished.
Most of the disastrous garbage in today's WWE has its earliest precedent in early 1990s WWF. Indeed, if one looks at the IWC, one finds that the biggest fans of this corny period where the first European smark crowds gathered are also the biggest WWE ass-kissers. Was this time and place, perhaps, the beginning of the end despite the presence of multiple megastars in the roster?

>being American
>not patriotic
Also, to clarify, the European smarks are the precedent for the smarks the day after WrestleMania and at some PPVs.
>>1030790
I wasn't watching WWF at the time, but I think Hulk's patriotic turn was due to the Gulf War.
>European smark crowds
Unlikely in the early 90s. Giving Ultra-American faces a heel response isn't smarky, it's a natural mark response.
>Was the early 90s the beginning of the end?
No. It was a down-turn in the business. WCW was doing very poorly, Vince was struggling himself, and Jim Cornette thought it was a fine time to set up in competition. Things picked up again in the mid-90s either because of or to the benefit of Bischoff and Heyman. Whatever the reason, millions of wrestling fans were made in that decade. The problem really arose in the 2000s. Very few new American fans have been won to wrestling since the closure of ECW & WCW - a point eloquently made by the average year of birth of WWE's domestic audience staying pretty stagnant since 2000. (The average American E fan is now in the mid-forties.)
But that may not be a devastating blow. WWE is doing good business internationally and so long as they can keep expanding their market they aren't going to go down. (As a point of interest, TNA is in a comparable position given their size. Their domestic market is a fairly small pool of people about the same age as the E fans - presumably ex-WCW fans? - but they're getting over in the UK.)
AJ Styles is in the place where you can't let him rise too fast, but people know he has potential to become a huge star right away and hate to see him putter in the midcard. How long will it take to get AJ into the main event scene, and when is Reigns vs. Styles?
>Reigns isn't ready after being here for multiple years
>but Styles is after being in for a month
Explain smarks
>>1029398
I don't hate Reigns as much as other people do, I just think we was booked awfully. Styles, however, has a lot of the traits people claim Reigns doesn't have, like charisma.
>>1029398
dont really give a shit about reigns or styles but styles has been wrasslin almost 15 years longer than ramen has
>The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon apparently wants the upcoming WrestleMania 32 event to be the start of "several years" of Roman Reigns in the company's top spot that was formerly held by John Cena.
>According to the report, "the plan is for Reigns to go over and be the top babyface in the company for years to come."
>The overall attitude within WWE is that it doesn't really make a difference if the fans boo Reigns because, as is evident with Cena, cheers and boos aren't damaging to the babyface of a franchise such as WWE, and diverse reactions from fans can often be seen as a good thing since they can launch stars to bigger levels of business. However, it's also well known that Reigns is not as big of a star as Cena, even though his merchandise numbers are good.
>>1028004
Cena didn't get booed out of his first Wrestlemania moment desu
>>1028004
based fucking vince, the roman empire will reign supreme!
the IWC neckbeards BTFO
>>1028006
This, He was cheered.
So apparently according to people who were at the Smackdown taping HHH got cheered and the Yes chant during this segment
At this point HHH would have to sledgehammer Romans whole family to get proper heat.
Markiest thread on the whole board
>>1027743
explain?
>>1027742
>At this point HHH would have to sledgehammer Romans whole family to get proper heat.
You mean beating up Rosie, The Rock, and Rikishi would get him heat? I very much doubt that. The Rock maybe, but it's not like it worked out all that well when he tried to endorse his fake cousin the first time.

How do dance moves help you to feel an opponent's balance? Nagewaza is useless without kuzushi
>>1026892
>Kata (traditional forms) are just movements of the human body. They are muscle-memory building tools used to get your body coordinated and at the same time learn movements that can be applied in a combative situation. The only difference is what happens afterwards: training to apply it.
>>1026904
Or you can just skip the dancing and do uchi komi with a partner to get a feel for leverage points while drilling the movement
You are the booker and can make any active wrestler on the roster right now thats not injured WWE champion.
Who do you choose?
>>1026868
easy mode:
the big guy
medium mode:
jack swagger
hard mode:
el torito
>>1026868
Bo Dallas
Just to see the reaction.
Why is Female MMA more successful then other Woman's sports?
Maybe it's because you get the shit kicked out of you if you don't develop at least some skill.
Successful in what regard?
Who will be the next wrestler released by WWE?
Someone from NXT.
Hopefully Elias Samson.
Sandow
Kidd, Barrett and Mark Henry will be gone or retired by the end of the year too
bryan danielson
There wasn't a single good reason to have Roman go over
