Agreed on too much wrestling and too much scripting.
They desperately need guys that can cut promos. A show with bad or short wrestling/ good promos goes down much easier than the alterntive. And feels shorter.
They need to back up the money truck for the Hardy Men. I love Shinsuke and Joe, but they ain't the answer for what ails them. Noone in NXT is.

Honestly, they need Russo back as a writer for raw, that would definitely help.

Russo's ego is too big to go back to letting his ideas get filtered through Vince or Hunter

Not surprised at the Smackdown rating. Lot of bad stuff on that show too marks.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but Diva promos make me go

this is the same promotion that went into Newcastle, which has 5 other promotions running, and ran a show with Del Rio for £5 a ticket
I agree. Especially when all the matches follow the same formula. It's all just too much.
They need every segment to feel different to keep people engaged for three hours.
And now with the extra PPVs is even worse.

MNF is Falcons/Saints, there's no question it's getting stomped. It's just also going to easily do better than Raw and SD, possibly combined

too much wrestling on a wrestling show

That dream match
Aren't Zack Ryder, Samoa Joe, and Charlotte already in the game?
Fucking shameful to keep some of their moves behind a paywall.

Wrestling fans don't even realize their favorite sport isn't real! They'll buy anything!

The sad thing is, this won't go like ICW's pathetic attempts to "step on people's toes" in London - ICW were largely going for the same audience as all the local promotions at the same price, whereas WCPW's audience seem like WWE fans who aren't largely aware of the British indies, but are potential prospective customers for the local promotions. WCPW'll just undercut everyone and fly-in a bunch of imports.
*edit, and of course Alex Cunting Shane is involved with them. Fucker's determined to make British wrestling a success as long as he gets to take the credit.

It's true. Wrestling isn't wrestling. There's a video about it.

If anyone ever snaps a picture of me - IN PERSON - willfully buying a copy of any WWE 2K game, I will give that person $100. But it will never happen, because I'm not a mark.

I wouldn't waste the energy to walk to the nearest Redbox. And before anyone suggests it, I wouldn't waste the money to order it online from my home.

What's wrong with undercutting other indies. I know they have the whatxkultre dollar behind them, but WCPW only has a few big names right.

One's a vanity project with enough money to do random London shows and randomly get Bischoff and Minoru Suzuki and Jay Lethal etc
Meanwhile there's actual London indies who can barely do a show at home a month and could really benefit from wrestling fans in the area having a good month but oops never mind WCPW's poster just went above theirs and also they booked a closer building to most of our fans welp at least they were kind about it with only the week's worth of notice that we were fucked

Other indies simply can't afford to run shows that cheap, or to fly-in imports on shows they know will make a loss. WCPW have a huge youtube following and backing that evidently allows them to offset any losses, but other indies have built their own following on the back of GOOD wrestling products, not some fucking "top 10 best" video bullshit.
But credit where credit's due, they do use a lot of British wrestling talent and it's great to see those guys getting more exposure - however, if the scene is to grow as a whole some moneybags undercutting everyone isn't going to help matters. WCPW aren't the reason for the indie wrestling boom in Britain, they're just benefiting from it.

You firesale the area for other promotions, you make fans expect a caliber of show with a bunch of imports for a cheap price, so either
you do really well, and force out other promotions from an area they're established in
or you fail/decide not to keep running, but you've set the price low for the area, so others have to either match it without the whatculture money to piss away, or keep their prices high, while fans will think they're over charging.
i mean sure, yay capitalism and free market and all that bollocks, they're not doing anything wrong, but, you know, don't be a bawbag.
