The Business of WWE

Recent reports are suggesting that 205 Live will either: Be completely scrapped from WWE programming due to the additional hour that is being added to NXT TV with its recent move to the USA Network Or, it could be absorbed as a part of SmackDown Live when it moves to Fox Network, because Fox reportedly … Read more205 Live Possibly Scrapped, Strowman Conversation

Personally, I feel that WWE desperately needs to add a significant amount of meaning to this year’s King of the Ring Tournament. I mention this since they have billed this year’s edition as possibly one that will create another huge superstar like Stone Cold Steve Austin (this is why my pick to win the tournament … Read moreMemorable King of the Ring Tournament Needed

It is fully understandable why WWE is slightly concerned that Bray Wyatt’s new character The Fiend may be too intense and might be scaring away the demographics of younger children, but WWE is absolutely doing the right thing in this situation. The Fiend is being presented exactly the way the characters should be as a … Read moreThe Fiend Concerns

Roman Reigns has officially signed a new multi-year deal with WWE which is obviously huge for the company from a business perspective. Despite the fact that Roman does not currently hold a major title, he is still considered WWE’s top dog. Let’s look at a few other contenders in the current universe in addition to … Read moreReigns Extension

Another event that will be happening regarding Vince McMahon but not necessarily WWE aside from SmackDown’s big move to Fox is the draft for the XFL, which begins play in 2020. 70 players will be drafted to each of the 8 teams. College players who are potentially eligible for the NFL draft will also be … Read moreXFL Draft and Vince McMahon

There are two things WWE should look to do at SummerSlam to make sure the entirety of the show goes over smoothly. First, they need to be careful about how long the show goes. You don’t want the main event starting after midnight as was the case at WrestleMania because then the vast majority of … Read moreLength and Justification for SS

AJ Styles brought up an excellent point last week when he said that he would like to see some “unpredictability” incorporated into matches through superstars having the ability to finish matches with any move rather than having one or two signature finishing maneuvers. WWE would have more freedom if this were to be incorporated and … Read moreUnpredictability in Matches

This proposal may be a little too far outside the box for WWE to go through with, but I’ll propose it anyway: what if “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt were to become the man to take the Universal Championship out of the clutches of Brock Lesnar, because it won’t be Seth Rollins (does anyone honestly think … Read more“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt – Potential Universal Champion

One thing that is refreshing to see in WWE is the fact that superstars have a greater amount of freedom when cutting promos on the mic. This started probably right after WrestleMania this year, so the credit for this cannot be taken by Paul Heyman. As an example, Dolph Ziggler made a subtle remark about … Read moreAudibling

I have to sincerely apologize for my references to NXT Takeover and SummerSlam emanating from Brooklyn because that is absolutely wrong. Both events will be airing on the WWE Network on August 11 (2019) from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Brooklyn has been conditioned into me for the past four years, so my apologies.

WWE is reportedly producing an edgier product. By edgier, I mean the use of cuss words and the middle finger gesture. Bischoff and Heyman surely had something to do with this in an attempt to appeal to the younger male demographic, specifically teenagers. The company seems to be reverting back to the strategy that worked … Read moreAppeal to Young Males

The executive changes within WWE could be the paradigm shift that the company desperately needs in terms of creative development. Let me put it more plainly, the addition of Eric Bischoff to run SmackDown Live as Executive Director as well as Paul Heyman being named to the same position for Monday Night Raw could give … Read moreManagement Changes Spur Excitement
