December Wrasslin' |OT| PUT A Z-PAK ON THE THREAD, PAL. YOU'RE WORKING TONIGHT
Every episode of Monday Night Wars highlights the weaknesses of modern Raw.
If you replaces "WCW" with "Modern WWE" I dont think half of the episodes change at all

OY BRAY WYATT YOU LOOKIN FOR A FOIGHT?!?!?
Great pull.
Pretty much. I don't see how they can continually screw this up and get it so wrong. At one point every segment had a purpose and now I can watch Raw in 30 minutes or less because their is no reason to give a shit.
It simply amazes me that Vince & Co. apparently have no idea what they're doing wrong and why the product sucks when NXT and these Monday Night Wars episodes are being pumped out right under their noses.
There are some dense mother fuckers to not understand why Cena is going to end up more important than Flair. It has nothing at all to do with talent. AT ALL. It's about accessibility. It's about the difference of your prime being local tv and house shows era and your prime being global television and touring with instant access and social media. Fucking dolts.
It's the same reason why Hulk Hogan is more important than Lou Thesz.

If commentary has taught me anything over the years it's that it's a numbers game. And Cena is going to overthrow that drunkard any day now with the number of most world titles.
Flair and Inoki drew more in Korea than anything John Cena's ever drew in his career though if we want to go that route. Cena might be in an era of being more accessible but then you could say Stone Cold or Hogan was more important because wrestling was at its biggest.

How much do you think it would cost to make Brock a full time WWE star, that appears regularly on RAWs and PPVs? $10 million a year + merch and a percentage of buys?
Is that Mark Henry's little sister?

You missed King giggling in the background.
How can someone be the most important when wrestling wasn't at its most popular when he's the face of the company? It is a business and if it's not drawing the most money it's ever drawn with Cena at the front of it, he's not the most important. He's static, filler, forgettable outside of length.
You're giving him way too much credit for the sake of being contrary.

At least if things don't work out with Nikki, Cena has a fallback option with Daphne.
Good for him.
If people in this thread weren't posting just for the sake of being contrary, we'd have nothing to talk about.

It hasn't happened already?
I can guarantee you anime fans earn a higher income on average than wrestling fans.

So that's what Kalabar's been up to since he's been exiled from Halloweentown.
I don't know, do money marks exist in anime?
There is nothing contrarian about it. It's the same logic as why Hogan is more important than Bruno. Despite the "down" period of WWE, they reach more people on a weekly basis than Flair ever could in the 80s and even 90s. John Cena is more of a world wide star than Ric Flair ever even had the chance to be.
Oh Hell Yeah

...Man, you're digging DEEP on that one
Someone left their parking lights on near my apartment; a search for the owner is fruitless. This happened to me before my first day. I wish I could find em.

simplythebest has started a revolution
I remembered figure-gaf and yeah, they have to exist
I mean you've seen how much buying G1 entirely costs.
Yep, one figure.
This has nothing to do with the business and has everything to do with the fact that the world is just simply a lot smaller than it was during the Flair and Bruno days. Cena is the beneficiary of the era he was born into.

and Vioelnt J has a bunch of wrestling merch that's probably worth a decent amount. I can't imagine anything past the 80s is though
Also, authentic mask replica prices are as high if not higher than a lot of anime figures.

His anti-gay tirade is something else.
