WOW: Women of Wrestling relaunch... not even starring Tessa Blanchard anymore, wow

[Smart Marx]

I honestly am feeling as if hardly anyone was going to fucking watch this beforehand... kinda like the last incarnation of the company where it was just people who will watch any wrestling they see on TV and a handful of hardcore fans. At least now, I can see a pretty decent chunk of people tuning in just to support Tessa, "stick to cancel culture", etc. etc. Like, they aren't going to watch it out of just good faith, they're basically going to watch it to be contrarian for a lack of better word. So, you've still got that casual audience who don't know or don't care about the controversy, plus the crowd of people who are going to watch it just out of spite... it might actually end up being more successful as a result.

I probably am gonna support WOW because I do want to see Tessa, but also I do like when a company tries to stand up to internet pressure.

I'm not sure contrarian is the right word, either, because I'd personally love it if more people supported just letting entertainers entertain.

This is how my dad ended up watching the last season lmao came on AXS after NJPW

 

[Chris]

The only WOW show I've seen in full that I recall was whichever one won worst show of the year in like 2002 when they tried to to a PPV in the original incarnation bc i reviewed it in my thread and it was so bad lmao

But I popped when I saw JUNGLE GRRL was still going when my dad was watching it

Were you watching it before?

No, and I'm not gonna not watch this one out of any sort of protest, I'm just pretty confident there is better shit I could be watching

Fair enough, probably is. Just wanted to clarify because I didn’t think you were watching before, either.

I probably wouldn’t watch this live, anyway. Just watch it when I’d probably watch a YouTube clip instead.

Wait so they wanted to produce something with La Rosa Negra and Tessa for profit knowing there would be talk about and eyes would be turned in for it do we forget angles like Matt/Edge/Lita turned a profit for WWE among that chaos and Angle/JJ/Karen did the same. ^Hoss lol.

I mean people were critical of those angles at the time too so you can't really call hypocrisy unless you know people who are bitching about this had no issue with those lol

But yeah it's a similar situation for sure, and if Rosa agreed to do it them I wouldn't even be critical (unless it still sucked) but it seems like she turned them down pretty hard where Matt Hardy and Jeff jareett had no issues turning their personal issues into angles

So the problem is they were unsuccessful at working a shoot?

I have no problem with them reaching out I've already said that lol this is a non story to me.

I do think that if she wouldn't have shut them down as quickly as it seems then their story pitches for this worked shoot would be disastrously bad tho but that's just conjecture
