Oh WWE is fucking awful at it. This creative department needs to get sacked ASAP rather than the stars.

I think my POV has been taken out of context.

WWE have the star power - as in they have the talent to become stars.

But they lack the storylines and directions to do it.

They don't need other wrestlers - to fix the problem.

I think the last time we had free Wrestling TV, it was WCW Nitro on week delay.
WWE and Impact were always on Cable paid channels.

AEW is a very recent arrival to free tv, so people over hear and Europe are used to having to pay or stream wrestling as a norm

They DON'T have to. Stone Cold carried WWE in addition to The Rock. They need to build stars to replace the ones that are injured, retired, or released.
looks like he didn't

I honestly think of Triple H - in those early days of the chamber, when I would be more likely to watch the product
We're on the same page now. Next P.P.V. Most likely to beat Undertaker for the streak? Its not Brock Lesnar, even though that's the result. Most was rooting for at least John Cena.

So you’re saying the people are there, they are just horrible at building them?

Long story short, this Rumble has inspired me to run a new BTB if I can ever get off my fat ass.
