General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

I think the biggest issue is that there's not a whole lot of investors (outside of Billy Corgan in 1999) who were really interested in buying into a hardcore promotion because very few mainstream media moguls would want that on their product. If FOX, the anti-authority channel of the 90s was anti-wrestling, ECW had little chance.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

that was the draw

You know it. This is why I find it wild no one asked him to run their developmental.

The great thing about Heyman is he didn’t necessarily need stars because he was the one guy that could literally make a star out of the guys that no one else wanted.

Makes it so sad that he wasn't in charge creatively in WWE throughout the 2010s

 

[Comrade Khan]

ive said it a million times but thats the one guy id throw all my money at lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

but hes prob too late and comfy in his career to jump

 

[Comrade Khan]

above any talent tho that would be the biggest get

 

[Samoa Looch]

Bigger than Vince?

I think if I were Heyman in the 1990s, I'd have definitely shifted my product into less hardcore and more technical/cruiserweight wrestling, and keep the anti-authority ideas.

Bigger than Vince?

Vince sucks lmfao

 

[Butters]

vince is the best promoter to ever live

 

[Grim]

McMahon especially sucks as a booker. He only got by for so long because he had the soothsayer and probably the most underrated creative booker Pat Patterson with him.

 

[Comrade Khan]

TK listens to njpw mark Danielson and business instantly up, hope he noticed

 

[Grim]

But yeah, would be an interesting TEW scenario, swapping owners around.

Hiring the best booker is what makes Vince the best you bum ass.
