I can't even make any kind of sense of this Stephanie McMahon quote about owning a WWE wrestler's likeness.

WWE is a bit different than other leagues and properties, said Stephanie. We own all the intellectual properties, because we create them. So its very different from how the leagues operate. We have a whole pop culture strategy outside of our business. We cast our superstars outside of WWE programming; whether thats partnership endorsements, cameos, roles in Hollywood films, red carpets, you name it. The goal is to get our stars out there as much as possible.

I think she's trying to say that they supposedly play their characters outside of WWE programming instead of being known as their real selves. Like, LeBron James is just LeBron James everywhere, but WWE wrestlers usually make appearances and the like under their character names instead, and thus their image/likeness is more connected to the character than not.

Which is dumb and also kinda falls apart by the fact that you have people like The Miz going by Mike Mizanin on literally primetime television.

Dynamite was outstanding again this week. Arcade Anarchy completely delivered.

Apparently there's a lot of people down on QT's new stable and all the stables together? I don't get it. It gets more people to be involved, it brings more cohesiveness and realism to the product that they all have friends and ties to one another.

I don't get people being down on it.

Probably QT feels so far below Cody that it feels like Cody is getting dragged down by it.

Which I'm kinda inclined to agree with. Cody felt like a legit main event draw a year ago but now... eeeehhhhhhhhhhh...

I think it's different booking styles.

Cody feuding with QT was a whatever thing that felt like it would be a one-off like Penta. But then they escalated it and they had a full faction just decimate Cody and his friends.

I'm willing to wait and see how it shakes out before saying Cody is being devalued by this feud.

It's just that QT never appears on Dynamite. Before facing Cody, his last match on TV was November 11th and before that it was August. Considering how important Cody has been to the product, both in a literal sense and in a TV sense, it seems like by default this is a significant downgrade for Cody. Who was just featured in one of their highest rated segments wrestling Shaq.

QT needed months of a buildup as a proper Dynamite star to justify both a feud with Cody and having his own stable. He ain't MJF.

I mean, it feels just like Nexus when they beat up all the main event guys with little exposure.

It was legitimately surprising, well done, and they have plenty of room to continue legitimizing themselves.

And I think Cody is absolutely someone who will make anything meaningful or special, and you could throw him in there with Omega again and he would feel just as much a main eventer despite tangling with QT here.

I do have concerns they do a lot of their stuff on Dark and Elevation, and they just need to do something to get more exposure for those shows if they're going to meaningfully try to build up people there. Like if you watch those shows, QT has been doing a lot of good work on those to foreshadow this. But the reach for that is only so much.

From what I can find, the first episode in 2010 did 1.7M viewers the same viewership that Raw did this Monday. <_<

Then ratings dipped to TNA on Spike levels (1.1M to 1.3M) the rest of the season.
