There's an argument to be made that, because they had targeted that young crowd so hard with Cena, that it ended up hurting them in the long run and scared off all of the teenagers and adults. Like, they worked so hard to get this young audience of kids and the demos reflect they have retained very few of them. Whether that be because they were only fans of Cena, that they failed to have Cena's character 'grow' with that audience, or because they decided WWE is fucking atrocious on their own and dropped it. Keep in mind Cena is old enough now that those kid fans are now teenagers and young adults. The issue was that there was no great passing of the torch from Cena to another wrestler. Same problem with the post-Rock/Austin era except Vince McMahon is now 17 years older. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. <cite>TheRock1525 posted [p:943218745] in All-Purpos...

PrivateBiscuit1 08/10/20 2:00:22 PM #254:	I... was keeping that in mind. The teenager and young adult demo is the worst it's ever been. That's what I meant by them not retaining any of those fans. They pushed a lot of the more childlike humor and kid stuff in the PG era on us throughout Cena's run and ratings kept going down as a result. There's an argument that "Well they were bringing in a new batch of kids to become lifelong fans!" but that doesn't seem like it panned out. I had always made the argument that they've always sacrificed a lot of the teenager and adult fans they had in the PG era and that's why the ratings continued to go down steeper and steeper. But considering they haven't retained any of their own target demo as fans when they got older, it seems like that strategy failed. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! <cite>PrivateBiscuit1 posted [p:943218900] in All-Purpos...

PrivateBiscuit1 08/10/20 2:21:56 PM #260:	Cena was booked over quite literally every single person. He soundly defeated everyone in the company and was a hair away from being as strong as Hogan. Which is perfect for a portion of the audience. However, for another portion of the audience that did want to see nuance or see other characters get a spotlight, it sucked. It was horrible. A lot of his segments were questionable as well. I would say Cena was booked incredibly strong, but his booking overall was not very good in that it alienated a large part of fans. I think we're so far removed from just how obnoxious his booking was. There's a reason he used to get a shocking amount of boos in most arenas he was in. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! <cite>PrivateBiscuit1 posted [p:943219704] in All-Purpos...

PrivateBiscuit1 08/10/20 7:53:42 PM #288:	So my thoughts on day 2 of the AEW Women's Tag Tournament. First match was Big Swole & Nicole Savoy vs. Leva Bates & Roche Chanel. I want to be mad that Roche Chanel has a platform because wow she's bad, but they've given a platform to Dasha so. Anyway, Nicole Savoy was fun. Swole looked awesome in this match. Leva gonna Leva, but she did fine. Swole & Savoy win. Next match was Ivelisse & Diamante vs. Dasha & Rachael Ellering. Dasha is very, very green, but shows a lot of promise actually. Her strikes are hideous but she could do some technical stuff and her timing was all over the place. Ellering's first match back... and it showed. She wasn't too great either. This was mainly a showcase for Ivelisse and Diamante though, and they really got to show off. Ivelisse picked up the win. Next week it'll be Allie & Brandi vs. Swole & Savoy and then Ivelisse & Diamante vs. Tay Conti & Anna Jay. Still going with an Allie & Brandi vs. Ivelisse & Diamante finals like I had said from the jump. But whoo boy, all the people spouting off about AEW not investing in their women's division and here's Nicole Savoy. Surprised nobody spoiled this in AEW given what was being discussed in the past week. --- Check out my entertainment blog!: www.heroicbiz.com I discuss video games, comics, movies, and TV! <cite>PrivateBiscuit1 posted [p:943231438] in All-Purpos...

Mega Mana 08/10/20 10:56:50 PM #295:	Jakyl25 posted... Romans ascent was contrived. Fans LOVED him in his role in the Shield, but any elevation past Seth and Dean was seen as unwanted. TheRock1525 posted... And even for a while beyond that. I wasn't until his return from injury when the writing was on the wall that "hey Roman is gonna be the top guy" around late 2014 that the Backlash began. My take, still: It was all in the writing. The booking was solid. Why not have Roman go after the top title after the break up of the Shield? The Authority has power, and getting that title would put egg on the face of The Authority. The problem is they never acknowledged the break up of the Shield or motivation of Reigns beyond being groomed for the Main Event. All the momentum of the breakup went to Ambrose vs. Rollins, and Reigns played no part in it. He didn't really acknowledge either member for months, and there was no promo or conversation or explanation why he moved on so easily, especially contrasted with Ambrose eating up all that babyface revenge momentum practically for the rest of his run. Another big one was the injury. It happened, it sucks, and we wanted to see Reigns come back. But just not via satellite letting us know how he's doing every other week. Especially when I believe someone else around the same time had a bad injury too (don't remember who) and got nothing. The first time we got a satellite of Reigns' rehab, it just cemented, "Oh. He's the push. He's being groomed for Rumble and Wrestlemania. It's Batista again one year later." Doesn't help at all the shitty shit shit shitty shit Rumble with Kane and Big Show conveniently turning on each other near the ropes and The Rock for no reason with the hand raise. Oh, and the sufferin succotash promos. My god. The Sheamus program could've been really good if all the writers were fired. Roman is really good in the ring and turning the audience from loathing and disinterest into fascination and cheers, and he can be a good promo when he's driven and natural. But the WWE just really really likes to serve up shit sandwiches from everyone. It's actually incredible how good Drew has been as a babyface champion, not just in the ring but also building up hype for matches.
