Nah, Zack Ryder would be a much better comparison to the Wii U.

Wii U sounds a lot like Woo woo. That comparison works.
Right now the most over performer is somebody who reminds everyone that the product is fake and why should you care?
Spend your time and money to watch somebody remind you that its all fake and we(WWE) don't care so why should you?
Isn't he billed from where WM31's taking place? Hope he gets a good program going in time.
Only thing he can do is win the belt and then do a speech on how he had to get down to the people's monkey brain intellect in order for them to be entertained.
He needs to go heel.

I was really happy that Warrior and Vince made up before he passed away. But still, the whole situation was really sad. It's tough to watch that Warrior documentary of his last few days.

Did you know: when planning that DVD, WWE had to decide if it was going to be about Bret Hart or Warrior. We almost had a Bret Hart bury job dvd instead.

I would have loved a Bret Hart Bury Job DVD.

The Bret DVD was meant to come after Warrior's, but apparently Bret heard about it and it was one of the motivating factors for him mending his relationship with the WWE.
He is a heel though. People cheer for him because he stands out from the pack. Maybe he can have a program with the Miz at Mania for the IC title or something but wwe tends to milk( and do nothing with them) gimmicks like for a long time.

Personally I'm against any bury job dvd. It's unprofessional and disrespectful. I'm confident we'll see one for Punk before his legacy gets Benoit'ed.
The only thing this DVD makes me want to watch is an Andre documentary.
The DVD describes him as a muscle bound idiot who had the in ring ability of a nitro girl and the intelligence of a block of cheese.
The people who built him up was the guy who wrote the music and the workers.
The JR, Ted DiBiase, and Bobby Heenan interviews clearly show they hated him.
Why would WWE shit all over the Canadian viewership?
They care about Canada?

thanks goodness for heelbook
They fucked canada with the Bret stuff because of Hunter and fear of WCW getting a bump from their champ.
The network stuff is about money.
This DVD shit would have been for the sole purpose of telling somebody to fuck off.
A public company doesn't do that.
Bret would just bury them ten times harder than they could even fathom burying Bret. You seen his official DVD? They even prefaced that thing with, 'Hey man, Bret's gonna say some stuff. WE probably don't agree with it, but we'll make money off this dvd.' Bret has problems, but one thing I do enjoy about the man is that he speaks what he thinks constantly. He'll shit talk his dead brother in law for fucking up his own career, he'll shit on Triple H even after working with WWE.

Wait, what? The way I understood it, Warrior was looking to use footage for some project he was doing, Vince wanted him to contribute to some Warrior-related project they were cooking up, and Warrior refused, so this DVD was made. Then Warrior hit the courts and who knows what happened from there.
If they were planing the same thing for Bret during all of this, maybe that's why Vince has so many nice things to say on the first Bret set.
They're waiting for the TNA tape library so they can put that Chet Lemon/Black Snow stuff on there. No set would be complete without it.
There's almost nothing DVD-wise on New Generation. Even Shawn and Bret's DVDs basically focused around them coming up at the end of Golden Age and their stuff in Attitude Era.
Also Warrior did a speaking tour for young Republicans clubs:

UK Comedy wrestler Mad Man Manson retired yesterday at PCW.
The way he did it was certainly odd though, there was a comedy show the night before where he was apparently racist and made a joke about Chris Benoits son. Then at the pcw shows he did his best to shit on all the ROH guys and basically acted like a bit of a dick.
Guys hilarious normally but it was just awkward, basically he absolutely detests wrestling but his act is normally on the right side of funny I thought yesterday went on the wrong side of the line

I was serious about what I wrote in the OP about Bellator. They're doing interesting things and it intersects with Sports Entertainment. Worth looking into.

Don't be foolish, these videos clearly break "kayfabe". Why would you expect to find this content on WWE Network? What's next, Fox's 'Secrets of Wrestling: Revealed' TV special?

Scott's first order of business? A masked man reveal:
The best part of that gimmick was that even when the masked man was finally revealed, nobody in the audience knew who the guy was.
Classic.
Bellator MMA is the captain now. The guy who ran Strikeforce, Scott Coker, took over with Viacom backing. They're using the WCW gameplan by hiring the "big boys" of MMA yesteryear to kick off the Saturday Night War. Rebooting with monthly shows next year, with big tentpole events 4 times a year.
Scott's first order of business? A masked man reveal:
This is straight up TNA.
Because Kayfabe is oh so sacred to the WWE...
But the big difference unlike TNA doing stuff like this lead to ratings that beat the UFC. TNA can only dream of getting 100,000 buys or doing ratings that actually beat the competition.

Best of WWE 2014 Part 2
So far, Bray/Bryan and Sami/Cesaro are right at the top of my list. And Bryan/Cesaro are definitely the MVPs of the first quarter of 2014. Harper might get up there, though. I think now that he's solo, he's going to have a rad 2015. Next set will cover WM-Takeover 1.
