Former head of creative, Rock's personal writer, Brian Gewirtz

I'd agree with that statement.

He's right. But WWE has divided their audience ever since the rise of Cena. We will never have a top babyface again that can win over both casual fans and smarks.

Wrestling is so shit
Come to MMA lads, you've got colourful characters that are shit fighters and vanilla midgets that are pure entertainment in the cage so you end up loving all of them.

>Come to MMA lads, you've got conor, that's it.

fixed that for ya.

>>2037642
Conor's pretty shit. Fun fighter to watch but literally putting on a pro wrestling character gets really annoying since he can't make it seem natural so he just comes off as an overcompensating manlet.

>>2037636
Yeah but the matches are really short because they have no workrate, also all the matches are the same, no ladder/table/no DQ matches or anything.

>>2037636
You have about 5 interesting people, and that's it. Even then they only fight twice, maybe thrice a year.

>>2037642
The irony...

>Come to MMA lads, we've got a guy whos entire gimmick is ripping off Ric Flair -- a wrestler

>>2037636
>stop watching your worked sport and start watching our worked sport

nah

>>2037611
This
That's why nobody cares about Cesaro or Zayn, they are boring as fuck

>>2037611
>Gewirtz

Wasn't he responsible for Hornswoggle being pushed so hard before the turn of the decade? Fuck him...

>>2037691
>yfw you realize El Generico would have been over as fuck especially with the kids

>>2037611
He's kinda right, but people do appreciate match quality just for match quality, nowadays.
Zayn vs KO lit shit up, and neither were given anything to really work with in the run-up.

>>2037725
>even less mic skills
The mask sure though

>>2037691
>being an actual mark
>getting worked by WWE's booking

>>2037730
>Zayn has no mic skills
>Generico wasn't a top comedy character

t. Wewtist

>>2037730
>>even less mic skills
Only a fucking dumb shit would want El Generico to talk on the mic.

>>2037738
>implying Generico's fake spanish banter wasn't funnier than anything New Day have ever done

>>2037729
>He's kinda right, but people do appreciate match quality just for match quality, nowadays.

And the ratings are in the shitter

>>2037824
And?
Crowds appreciate matches for matches.

>>2037827
Because it's mostly hardcore fans watching anymore. They always appreciated matches for matches. Casual fans are long gone.

yeah but where are the characters?????

Ramen Boredom?

Compared to zero interesting people in all of pro wrestling.

Factually incorrect. Don't forget, every MMA fighter worth watching has stolen their gimmick from a WWE wrestler.
