For Great Justice Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 With the way crowds like to hijack shows now and as a way to drive more “social engagement” or whatever, being the new 911 / Apollo Theatre hook is one way to get Braun back over huge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I don't know if it will make a difference at all, but this will be the first time we ever have Bischoff on Creative without Hogan in his ear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beech27 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 If he had a choice in the matter, there's something deeply poetic about Triple H opting to stay in NXT, rather than be promoted to one of these main roster roles. Anyway, we've got a Rhodes running a wrestling company on Turner, Heyman and Bischoff booking... I'd be a little worried to drive by a movie theater, and see Toy Story on the marquee. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I'll double down on this: The last year of Eric Bischoff's life, between rewatching so much successful and unsuccessful wrestling, facing question after question both from the time and from more modern eyes about his decisions, interacting with fans so thoroughly, engaging with a more modern product in an educated way in order to be relevant to those fans, even learning new things about the corporate structure he dealt with at Turner, etc... it's basically been the best possible preparation for a role like this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This brand split has gone the way of the last brand split, but in a much more accelerated timeline. The biggest problem is the that the audience between the two brands or two shows is linked. I don't think Vince wants the audiences for each show to be separate. Like, on the Venn Diagram for their audiences, the circles should nearly overlap. I might be in the minority on here and among all fans, but I love the brand split when the brand split is two unique rosters and each has their own PPVs on alternating months except for the big 4 or 5 shows each year. Really, it should be 4 big shows so then Raw and SDL each get 4 ppv type shows each. If you have a month where you don't have a ppv, you go all out on an episode of TV and you promote the hell out of that episode of TV for weeks in advance. Some of that WWE has done and some they haven't, but it's the situation I think works best. And if attendance to events is a concern, then run smaller buildings, but as it is, attendance is in the dumps anyway so why should that matter now? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 So one thing that really sticks out to me is that in the 90s Eric and Paul were Vince's competition. Now in 2019 they not only lost the war but also are reporting to the guy that took them out of business (yes, they fucked it up themselves but Vince was the final nail in the coffin) I'm not saying I'm a fan of either guy but that's kind of fucked up in a way. That said I'll be curious to see how much leeway they actually have with their decisions. I'm more optimistic about Paul being on board but we'll see what happens.
