Racing bores me. I can only move my head around in exaggerated circles so many times before I start looking elsewhere.
However....
...in the incredibly vague wikipedia entry, I do see some things that I like and that could be aped better in the more typical, mainstreamish wrestling organizations. The whole thing is team-oriented, so it's basically a bunch of stables battling it out. While, stable wars (like the NWO split-up teams a decade and change ago) can end us with some pretty terrible storylines, it would really, really be a stark contrast from the current times, where we either see (A) nobody teaming up in any cohesive, long-term fashion, ever -- like in WWE -- or (B) Team Old vs Team New -- like in
Additionally, the character archetypes listed here seem somehow fresher. They're incredibly generic descriptions, so I probably enjoy it because of what's not included. There's no "this dude is wealthy/foreign/girly, so you should hate him". The attributes listed are positive or negative depending on the reader. It feels like they're veering away from the face vs heel paradigm and instead allowing people to decide which guys they want to root for. This is something that you often see crowds wanting to do in pro wrestling matches (whenever you hear, for instance, dueling chants), but it's something that bigger pro wrestling organization try to steer the audience away from (by making the "bad guys" comically unlikable and the "good guys" universally positive in their character traits).
I made a somewhat cogent argument out of a bunch of shitty looking pictures; now, isn't that better than complaining about how we know that Bischoff will ruin it?
[Edit: Also, they need to license Captain Falcon from Nintendo]
