WWE plans to promote more to kids/families

Source here. There is also a thread on it.

But yeah I kind of agree that it is hard to assume that Hunter wants to change the approach of the entire wwe. It's likely like Senhor said that we if anything will get a more old school show layout with kiddy segments at the start and more serious at the end.

To be honest you don't even need a source. Hunter learnt his trade that way, of course he's going to favour that way as it's how he learnt, he has more first hand experience of being old school.

When I saw that article this morning I was thrilled, guys are so wooden nowadays.

Vince McMahon booked old school, so I don't quite understand that ideology. It's not a case of "Well I wrestled in an old school era, so I'll change this global company which just keeps growing and making millions into what I perceive as old school".

Vince was also the one who hired all the writers. I agree with Jonathan, workers should be able to put themselves over. Creative should give them the gist of what should be said in the promo with the talent interpreting it into his or her own words. HHH saw how well this worked during the AE and would most likely like to see it again.

Vince books old school? The old school promotions used prominent midcard and tag team divisions, the only thing old school about Vince is his hollow babyface personas. Compare the old NWA/JCP cards against the WWE, the US title was a huge deal, the tag team division boasted some incredibly over teams such as LOD (imagine if they came through today, they'd have been split within a year) and all feuds were steadily built over the months, in some cases years. Vince's current booking is a horrible hybrid of car crash TV ( random feuds starting for wow effect and being dropped as quickly) with the laziness and cheese of the early 90s. He isn't old school he's created a monster with his booking.

I don't think anyone here disagrees that wrestlers need to get themselves over. The IWC has been calling for bullet points for years, lol.

booked.

I was talking about his history, not about his present (obviously).

You win this round.

I'm not talking about the booking, that's fine. I'm talking about the written promos that are so forced and unrealistic.

This should make for some fucking exciting television.
