you said he killed the business. He never killed the business the other businesses died out because they sucked and nobody really gave a logical effort until Tony Kahn.

Yes, because he fucking bought out his two biggest competitors. I get why Vince bought them but to say him buying them out didn't kill the entire business for approximately 15 years is asinine.

 

[Samoa Looch]

Vince has successfully pushed their version of history on folks

Would you say he successfully... controlled the narrative?

 

[Samoa Looch]

Kyle Omegage!

 

[Grim]

there was the tanning salon incident as well

Not to mention someone, not naming names, also got blackballed from wrestling after Vince decided to touch them up with his grody hands.

And to further expand on this, it's also hilarious to miss the point completely that nobody gave it any socks in trying to pull off another major wrestling company when, no... TNA did it, and despite not having any good marketing department, had a magnificent roster for a period of 6 years. Spike TV was also a great TV deal and TNA continually got over 1m viewers. They just couldn't pull in a live audience.

 

[Grim]

Nobody wanted to deal with Wrestling after 2001 because it became fucking volatile and any talent that got big was likely just gonna be scalped by WWE anyways. Why deal with that shit? Especially after ECW grifted the fuck out of people and WCW's last year and a half was a trainwreck.

 

[Comrade Khan]

roh "sucked so much" that WWE also drafted the majority of their roster. same with ex tna guys

 

[Grim]

Yeah, ROH and TNA just had the misfortune of being stuck at a time where WWE had the entire business monopolized.

 

[Spider DKR]

Monopolies suck. Hey gang!

 

[Comrade Khan]

yes they do

 

[Comrade Khan]

it be awesome if there was like 2 more major companies lol then even more ppl could be featured and paid

 

[Grim]

ROH could boast having great matches but no good TV deal. Could you imagine if ROH had a quality TV deal so people could actually see it?
