I like how the modern viewers whine and bitch when WWE has to constantly make emergency calls to older, proven draws like Undertaker and HBK because their current crop of talent are overly complacent acrobats that fucking suck.

Cashing in on nostalgia has always been a thing in pro wrestling. It's just worse now because there's no way the current talent can compete with the ones from literally the greatest era in pro wrestling history.

This isn't nostalgia, they are still better wrestlers than the current crop today. Never before in the history of wrestling did they need to call in veterans to save ratings like they do now.

Apparently the boring promos where they just stand around calmly speaking to each other draws higher ratings than the matches. So in their minds they probably think it's what's best for business. Obviously it's done some damage in the long-term, though.
It's like how all the old school guys say not to hotshot for too long and that you need to pull back and get a little average sometimes. That whole process has basically played out with the extended promos. They get a slight ratings boost from them but they don't know when to pull back, so it just gets old and people stop watching. But at this point it's basically all they have left ratings-wise. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The WCW thing is a little misunderstood. That company was going to fail regardless, and due to the way the talent was contracted it wasn't even an option for the WWF to bring most of them in. The only thing they can really be faulted for is not continuing the WCW brand. And I guess jobbing everyone out.

I don't believe the problem with the wrestlers is their look. Their talking skills are what is lacking. Most of the roster is full of millenniums who are more introverted and aren't that good with connecting with the crowd.
WWE is also to blame since they don't give many people a chance to be good on the mic. Kevin Owens is one of the better people on the mic. You guys also mentioned The Miz and he is one of good people. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
