Fucking your wife Del Taco, go back to Mexico

They are playing football, basketball, rugby, baseball, MMA, or doing anything other than working for a place like WWE where you don't have a union, paid travel or even healthcare to cover you while doing a dangerous ass job.

In all seriousness, I honestly believe that the lack of actual super human looking guys is one of the reasons why it doesn't draw dimes anymore, Vince should scout body building competitions again and stop hiring indie guys

>>2490118
Baseball has the goat union. You spend one day in the majors you have healthcare and dental for your whole family for life. 40 days gets you a pension. WWE is shit and so is ufc. At least Dana ponied up on healthcare though.

>>2490123
It wouldn't hurt. Cena was a bodybuilder guy.

>>2490118
I think they finally started paying for flights to shows. They still have to cover going home and hotels.

>>2490103
Wrestling is literally theater. No man wants to be a part of that.

We need steroids back.

vince should push him instead of roshit

>>2490286
They made him look like a pussy with that Brock bit.

>Build a company around supermen stars and unrealistic fantasy warefare
>Be surprised when the only people who look up to and want to emulate those stars are nerds and geeks, while the alpha's mature out of their "wrestling" phase and go to work in legitimate sports industries.

What'd they think would fuckin' happen?

Finn looks legitimately smug knowing he's got a bigger dick that Rollins

You just posted one of the few old wrestlers like

>>2490293
This. Who directs this? Who agrees to perform it?
"We want you to go out there, confront Brock, and back down."
"What? No."

Why could they not flood the ring with 15 - 20 officials as soon as Brock placed the belt down and said to bring it? Ten men each holding them apart, a couple of ref bumps, would have been much cooler, fans would have liked it, and neither star would have had to have looked weak for absolutely no payoff.

WWE started listening to the vocal minority and hiring all these indy geeks

>>2490103
Nerdy marks who got picked on as kids and watched wrestling for escapism grew up and became the indie midgets we have today. I miss the days when the marks were in the audience and not in the ring

>>2490993
WWE has been hiring "indy" guys since literally Day 1.

>>2491002
That shoot interview you're parroting is older than you.

How did this happen?

The real men play actual competitive sports

I was in the building. holy shit everyone was so behind him. He does this, EVERY. TIME.
>Braun confronts big bad
>ends up walking away
Why is vince mad at him or something?

>>2490302
This is the only answer.

Nerds can pick up weights play larger than life characters though.

>>2490103
I usually don't buy into the "manlets are bad for business" angle because its really down to how you book and utilize them, but Seth fighting Hunter didn't look believable at all. Hunter looked like he should tear the guy apart with his bare hands, jacked as fuck, while Seth is mostly just lanky.

Dean is lanky. Seth is pretty /fit/

>>2494472
I remember thinking how Seth was the best thing for both Ambrose and Roman during the shield cause apparently he made sure to motivate all of them to stay in shape

>>2490286
They legit had people CHANTING for Braun at Raw and what do they do?

Have him just WALK away saying to Brock "We'll do this on my time!"

Seriously? His time? What you couldn't do a big guy brawl on RAW to get the heat going? What the fuck were they thinking?

>>2496058
WWE doesn't want guys to be over.

>>2490123
we both know its the lack of trashy, politically incorrect mayhem that loses dimes

Which side is meant to be worse?

Fun fact: most wrestlers from the 90's became wrestlers because there was more money in it than in MMA. Shamrock and The Undertaker are prime examples.

If UFC was popular during the 90's some of the guys would have never even think of becoming a pro-wrestler.

>>2490337
This.
Fucking this.
Over and over this.

Even during the Brock/Oldberg feud they never locked horns.
When Brock takes a spear at ringside, how does he not retaliate? They had him mope up the ramp and look back with a bitch look on his face.

Roman single-handedly took out THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS but they didn't get in the ring and beat him down after.

Oh, and if you're booking a top heel as a "God" with supernatural powers that has a small cult around him, you should probably have him enforce his will at any given opportunity so he looks strong before he eats those pins.

It's like they don't want violence in a company that simulates a combat sport.

>>2490127
The guaranteed money in baseball is better than basketball and football too, it's the greatest sport in the world for many reasons

WWE needs larger than life characters again. We need people you don't see on daily basis when walking on streets.

>>2494125
He can't wrestle as a main eventer yet so they keep teasing him. HHH talked about this a while back, he fucked up a couple times and Vince has him on hold now. He's not a wrestler he's just a friend of Mark Henry's... but you can't argue with 6'8'' 385lbs... that size isn't common obviously... he dwarfed Lesnar on RAW this week

>>2497033
Angle too probably. Wrestler of his caliber dominate UFC. If you aren't going to be a huge big time coach for a college team (Cael Sanderson) not a lot of money once the Olympic run is over.
