Punk vs. Cena and Orton vs. Christian last summer says otherwise, brother. It's a good time for money feuds, but domestic fans are going to be hesitant to pay to see Goldust who is rarely active.

Yeah and because he's barely active makes it better. He can say that he wants to have one more go against his brother to see who's better. Cody can laugh and call him a has-been and all that shit.

He might be semi-active, but he's not Undertaker. He's not even Triple H. He's not even Mick Foley for that matter. I'll go as far as to say that, hell, he's not even Jerry Lawler! It'd be a good fight for the more educated fans, and the feud could be pretty much golden, but it'd be difficult to get mainstream fans who don't see Goldust as being that legitimite to buy into the hype on a grand stage like WrestleMania.

Yeah because he's only wrestled for 20 years and has one of the most recognizable gimmicks in history

To wrestling fans, not mainstream fans, which is the point EC was making.

Most mainstream fans don't even know they're legit brothers so I doubt they would buy into it for that reason alone.

Goldust is also not really a draw anymore. Even to wrestling fans.

Fuck mainstream fans. If they don't want to accept all aspects of wrestling, let them go watch something else

Yeah, you'd be real good running a company that's trying to make money.

I want to entertain people that actually know about what they're watching

I hope that you and those shows that you'll be doing in junior high gymnasiums are quite the hit.

Wow. Here's a novel idea. Do both! Entertain fans and market to the masses at the same time.

This bitterness over Goldust not feuding with Cody is so pointless since Wrestlemania was more than a month ago. Let it go and get on with your life ffs.

....the mainstream fans are still watching the product so why wouldn't you wanna entertain them as well?

I'd despise you if you owned a wrestling company and only cared about the hardcore wrestling fans.

So why the fuck are they watching wrestling if they don't know/care about it
