WWE can't sell out the Meadowlands or MSG?

[The Nature Boy]

What has this crap organization come to? It used to be murder to get a ticket, and now a PPV and a Raw can't sell out? That should speak volumes about the trouble this company is in. Obiviously patience is not a virtue, who's the quick fix they're going to turn to? Hogan? Austin? Jannety?

As if that is a bigger event then RAW or pay-per-view?

Wrastlin goes in cycles, in 5 years it will be big again.

Wonder how all those investers that jumped on the WWF IPO are doing now?

I haven't watched in years. But sometimes, I tune in and laugh because it's so silly and then I tell myself I'll turn in next week but I never do. And can someone say run on sentence?

i noticed that too. i think it's odd and also how now how wrestling is following the rest of the country with this whole 80's retro thing by brining back similar gimmicks and such.

The guys at Wrestlecrap are writing a book called the Death of WCW, and they posted a chapter on just this subject. Wrestling doesn't go through cycles, what happens is that one guy will hit for whatever reason, like Austin or the Rock, and the company will ride their wave until it dies. Then it's not that the company didn't just focus all of their energy on one guy instead of building lots of people, or that they exhausted every possible thing to do with this one person, it's that it goes through a cycle, and give it 5 years and it will be up again.

You're over simplifying it.

I humbly submit that the cycle was aborted prematurely by the WWF's own mismanagment and misguided vision. I know it was going to go down eventually, but it went much harder and farther than it ever should have, considering where it was and the age of the stars that had been created. Bad booking, too much HHHIV, and the brand extension all contributed to this.

But even in the "cyclical days", the WWF had their "strongholds" namely this region. PPV's and Raws aren't weekly, and actually hadn't even been a yearly thing of late. There was a long delay in that happening, and in the big moment to shine, they can't even fill a building. That's trouble right there, because there seems to be quite a darkness in hoping to rekindle the heat it had not 3 years ago.

The problem with this though is now they would need two such stars, one for each show. Sure, one could come in and completely electrify RAW, but Smackdown would still be the same old stale show.
In the end it wouldn't solve a damn thing.

They want Orton and Cena to be those people. They're pushing Orton too hard, especially after the "Stone Cold" ending he was given on Raw at MSG. And he is still way too green to be able to pull it off.

Cena has the personality, but needs to improve on the wrestling a little more.

Other then that, it's hopeless. (Especially with the characters coming back)

How do you figure that?

Unless the WWE commits to a MAJOR shakeup in the creative department, they're going to continue on their path of mediocrity for quite some time.
