why do they send belts to people who don't give two shits about the company?
>>2760555
The E! does this to stay relevant in pop culture
lmfao
idk, but it seems the Big Gold is the belt people most associate with wrestling, from what I've seen anyways. Granted, I do live in the South.
The actual athletes dont watch but alot if not almost all their kids do
>>2760555
> "who the fuck are these carnies who want to send me a wrestling belt?"
Anyone else cringe at this shit? These organizations probably laugh at this.
>>2760566
also
low cost low effort marketing. note the giant ass WWE logo on it.
if I were an actual athlete I'd Alundra Blayze that shit on TV and throw up a CERO MIEDO
>>2760568
Most of them use it lebron and gronk come to mind as people who were like fuck yea! When they got the team belt
>>2760556
Wrestling is and will be relevant in pop culture, see people like Hulk Hogan and John Cena

Low effort to get your name out there and build relationships with the teams who operate the buildings where your shows take place.
>>2760555
I imagine a replica belt is a cumbersome thing to have lying around
Imagine having to carry that around all day.
WWE Championship must be the number one belt if that is the one they are shilling. Guess a jobber is their main champion.
>>2760555
Desperation. Hoping someone will say something nice about the belt and desperately hoping pictures of the belt make it into local newspapers or ESPN.
Just plain desperation. Same reason they have those "LOOK AT HOW MANY SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS WE HAVE COMPARED TO REAL SPORTS" bumpers they put on Raw or Smackdown.

Social Media numbers are the only thing they can look at and spin a positive at. But there's going to come a time where USA says "We don't give a shit about how many twitter followers you have, why are the ratings down 30+% since we signed our deal in 2014? Why are we paying you more each year when ratings are snowballing downwards?"
Reminds that WWE's social media numbers are also fake as confirmed by Meltz. Can't believe a word this dying company says.
>>2760555
So that they can try to get free publicity from showing pictures and video of more relevant sports stars holding up their belts. Those replicas probably cost a couple grand to make, but if just one member of a championship team puts out a pic on social media, all of the die hard fans of that team are going to see it, and it may even get on national news if they have it during the victory parade.
Great relatively cheap exposure.

>those "LOOK AT HOW MANY SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS WE HAVE COMPARED TO REAL SPORTS" bumpers they put on Raw or Smackdown.
I never understood that or the "Look at our ratings from last week or this PPV!". Who gives a shit. The fans are already watching, so it's like preaching to a choir.

>fuck the fuck off smarks
What did faggot mean by this?
>>2760555
>they send the world championship not the universal one
the state of the period belt
Top hopefully get those people to give a shit about the company.
But they didn´t send a title to Real Madrid xD
>>2760555
They want to pretend they are in the mainstream when clearly they are not. WWE is at the same level of popularity as some random kids show.
>>2760555
It's such a cheap piece of crap to make anyways, they don't care
>>2760555
Because of the exposure!
>>2760585
You mean sports "entertainment."
>>2760555
I bet they're stoked LeBron didn't win after making Carder look like a giant bitch.
>>2760555
exposure. These belts cost WWE practically nothing and if a star athlete is seen on TV holding a belt with a huge WWE logo on it that's free publicity
>>2760748
Dave lies for clicks and is a chink loving Jew
>>2760555
>wanna-be entertainment company sends toy belts to mainstream athletes
cringe
>>2761221
"""sports""" "entertainment" is more like it
>>2760821
I think he meant to say, fuck off
Why would all these sports teams want to hold a belt with a big WW on it?
Fuck negro they should send one to Wonder Woman.
Stop devaluing the title! Must be only worn by wrestling greats like Jinder, Bray and JBL
The belt means nothing now that there are atleast 10 bearded fat guys in Hugger shirts holding them in the crowd every Raw
>>2761650
>>2761684
this. everyone getting a title makes it worthless
>>2760555
It was cool to have the World Heavyweight Championship, but nobody wants a belt with a giant WWE logo on it.
>>2761730
that's the real reason they got rid of Big Gold- makes it easier for them to market and advertise their brand
>>2760555
>have a bunch of ex football players on your roster
>"dude why do they make belts for the NFL?"
>>2760555
The athletes like it
