There are morons out there who think Vince created WWE from scratch...

Nah man, he created the WWF from scratch, then a bunch of stupid pandas stole the F from him. But this loss gave him the inspiration to invent sports entertainment.
 
AEW saw that WWE changed a match's finish because of an injury and said, "We can do that too."*

*Obviously I don't believe the injury was intentional. I just find it eerie the same situation happened in two companies days apart.

I think Willow and Harley fucked up and weren't in position to catch Penelope.

I feel bad for her because she's gotten injured twice in quick succession because of stuff like this. She's been a solid worker for AEW since day one but never really gets the acknowledgement because she looks like a pornstar. Putting the belts on her and Megan would have been an upgrade from the nothing that Willow and Harley have done with them.

it’s really funny how an animal rights organization started the downfall of the Attitude Era, the product was still watchable until like 2010 but it really goes to show how unsustainable listening to any type of moralfaggotry goes for the entertainment business
 
Gotta give Vince credit for having the foresight to latch onto a relatively new but slowly growing in use medium that was cable TV and getting in the good graces of MTV and popular music acts of the time like Cyndi Lauper to give the Fed's brand of wrestling that mainstream attention that other promotions couldn't do or could barely do.

He was the right man at the right time, and had no morals for the other vipers in the pit. Cause if anyone of them thought of it before him they'd have done the same thing too.

Jim Crockett was a close second doing what Vince did and it nearly worked for him he just ran out of money before he could turn bigger.

HE didn't run out of money, Dusty's stupid ideas juiced him dry. Sad thing is, all Crockett needed was a loan and he could have righted the ship, but I guess carney work doesn't get loans? Or maybe his pride forbid him from doing it.

I'm betting financial institutions would have wanted to see his finances and financial controls and practices. I can't imagine he kept things intelligible.

From how his confidants in the business say he was always good with money, the issue was he put nigger rich Dusty Rhodes in charge of the business and he pissed away all of their reserves. A month of shows could have brought them out of the red if the wrestlers were willing to go a month or two without pay just to get shit right as Crockett sells off those fuckin planes he never needed, gets rid of the giant office they didn't need, and went back to what mattered; selling out arenas and stadiums. They had the best talent in the country at the time, and a respected owner who understood the business. I would love to know how his business collapsed when all he needed was a month.. maybe two to be where they needed to be.

AEW crowds chant "Fuck ICE" in support of Brody King.

NXT crowd chants "Silver medal" and "USA" to taunt Ethan Page.

Wrestlers are Real Life Good People who support the Current Thing and would never dream of using a political hot-button issue to get themselves over with the neckbeards, right? M'Dub is just that much more empathetic than the Fed.
 
I don't think Crockett would have hit the highs Vince did mainly because of that mainstream popularity and recognition and that goes back to the stigma of wrasslin', Hogan was the golden goose in that regard because lets face it he was a comic book superhero come to life, in his prime he was tall as fuck and jacked to the gills and had personality and talent that crossed over into being on talk shows and doing Saturday Night Live with Mr. T again another huge celebrity at the time giving them that mainstream legitimacy.

I agree, and to add, for the reasons I preferred JCP in the mid 80s, would have hindered them from becoming as mainstream big as the WWF did. Can you imagine many normie moms allowing their kids to watch Flair or Dusty bleeding all over the ring in their matches? Lol.

Huh? Getting blood was only cut back on in the early 90s, and when sales plummeted the blood faucets came back on with the attitude era. Just how God intended pro wrestling to be, carnie as fuck.

Could JCP have gone as high as WWF? Who knows, but had Dusty not reached for the stars when he only had fuel for LA, they might have done far more than they ended up doing. Looking back at fat ass Dusty's career he dicked over Florida, and JCP with his nigger richness. Fuckin fat retard out there walking around in a cabby hat and a fur coat lookin like a pimp with down syndrome and a gay lisp claiming he was the only black wrestler you need, baybay.

I'm pretty sure, by 86/87 Vince turned the Blood Mode off in the WWF, save for very isolated cases. And I maintain that in the mid 80s, many normie type parents probably wouldn't want their lil Jimmy or Suzy watching Flair or Dusty blading the Christ out of themselves.

EDIT: you're right about Dusty's bullshit. There's a reason he never got a run with the WWF belt.

So Cody really is just like his dad, except not a fat fuck?

Not yet, anyway...
