Arena Pro Wrestling Discussion, part deux - Only $9.99/month!

I'd pay to see that.

 

God Damnit. Wrong thread.

 

Pretty most most of the guys TNA brought in at the start of the year are now gone.

 

Pretty much everyone in WWE's main event scene is over 40.

 

3 of them are. AJ, Cena, and Lesnar. Everyone else is in their mid to late 30’s.

 

The tweet with it said, “Look Daryl, everything the light touches is our Wrestling Kingdom.”

lol!!!

 

Then Triple H, Shane McMahon, Kurt Angle, (and The Undertaker, Kane, Goldust, Jericho and Big Show) must have been doing some pretty hard living.

 

They aren’t the active main event scene. They’re part timers and guys who get main event spots from time to time.

Owens, AJ, Orton, Cena, Lesnar, Braun, Nakamura, and Joe are given the main programs at the top. Braun is 34, Nak is 37, Orton is 37, Joe is 38, Owens is 35.

 

CMLL are the unsung heroes for making Naito and Hiromu

 

Cena's not even full - time anymore.

 

Braun is main event now? Jesus.

The drawing main event stars, in other words the faces on the big 4 PPV posters, are the guys previously listed. What remains of the main event scene is at least rapidly approaching 40. Vince has failed to create new stars, and the ageing viewing audience continues to dwindle. But profits are up, so at least a billionaire can profit from the collapse of the pro wrestling industry.

 

Okay, who was chopping onions just now when I was watching that.

 

new japans fiscal revenue is up 20% on last year about 37m us there second best year after 97 $ wise

 

The increasing US interest helps.

 

NJPW have diversified revenue streams, similar to the WWE.

 

WWE made a point on commentary last night to say Natalya won't be apart of the Women's Team Smackdown for Survivor Series, and we'd find out who's replacing Charlotte in that match on Sunday (since she's now the champion and facing Alexa). Paige was originally drafted to SMACKDOWN, just putting that out there.

 

It's probably Paige.

 

Ellsworth is gone.

 

James had a fantastic run.

 

Dude got 2 years of work out of what was essentially a month long storyline. All because he made the right people laugh. I’d call that success.

 

James Ellsworth is trending in the UK. He'll have no problem finding work.

 

I think he'd be a great referee. Not saying that in any derogatory way, I seriously think he'd make an all time great referee.

 

I just hope WWE let Rockstar Spud be himself. So much potential in that guy.

 

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Ellsworth's time in WWE, his superkick to AJ is still one of my favourite moments. Considering he'd been treated as a joke, to see him bust that out and do it perfectly (helped in no small part to AJ's selling of it) was great. I just remember thinking "where the hell did that come from?!"
