The marks are in the ring and WWE has deliberately ensured that nobody can be a star. The brand is the draw and that's how they want it.

I’d also exclude Finlay and MVP but yeah that’s true

Fucking kek at thinking Rollins as a big of a star as literally anyone in that pic. The state of E Drones.

Go back

They put all their bets on Roman, all of these guys got equal push

Vince has no idea how to build new stars anymore.

Here's your stars bro.

Fuck off and go back. There's a reason the two boards are separate.

Make me you fucking retards.

JBL was underrated

Ronda is the only star

I'm with the other anons, fuck off back to reddt before we beat your cocksucking gay ass.

This isn't your safespace.

>this isn’t your safe space, this is our safe space
Yikes

I'll safe space your face

But he saved the rumble with Becky

lol lashley at the front even though they jobbed him out in seconds

Lack of real characters.

i blame the pg women’s era for the horrible atmosphere and product, go watch any 1998 raw/war zone and tell me why they couldnt do it like that now

he was rated just how he should be

WWE has been bad long before the women’s revolution, incel.

He didn't say women's revolution, little man.

The pg women’s era doesn’t exist. It’s not a real thing. Also:
Samefag.

dont use that term is exposed you, i specifically said pg which would be 2008 the death blow was the women’s revolution in 2016 but it was bad before that, we are now in the “pg women’s era” and it is the worst of all possible worlds

Vince doesn’t let them go guest star on tv shows anymore, or host SNL anymore, or do talkshows anymore. They get no exposure because they aren’t given the opportunity. How many of the current roster at allowed to star/appear in movies? Cena, Miz, Orton back in the day. But who else?

No one cares, these losers in the picture you posted arent stars either outside of Flair, Michaels, and Undertaker
This roster doesnt even compare to the late 80s NWA Roster which had Flair, Rhodes, Simmons, Luger, Zybysko, and a ton of other actual stars, hell it doesnt even compare to the late 90s ECW roster

Get off my board child and go watch some real wrestling and stop acting like youre above modern wrestling fans because you watched earlier shit

he was WWE champion for about a year

>Flair, Rhodes, Simmons, Luger, Zybysko
whyd you stop there if there were so many? fuck out of here

the fact that people are so nostalgic about that era of wwe now is insane to me

>The pg women’s era doesn’t exist. It’s not a real thing.

Total Divas doesn't exist? Bellas main eventing Raw and saying "I wish you died in the womb" didn't exist? AJ Lee didn't exist?

>Samefag

We didn't even type the same way. You have no reason to believe this, and he would have no reason to pretend to be two people.

>Elias
>Bobbo
>Drew
>Braun
Could all be incredibly over if they had some decent creative. Breezango was fucking over and got buried for it. Ryder and Hawkins could also be hella over too with decent writers

>no reason to believe this
>gets worked over being called a same fag
yep, yous same fag, fag

there's not much that hasn't gone wrong

>acting like youre above modern wrestling fans because you watched earlier shit

They literally are, though. The whole reason any of WWE's shit flies is because they replaced their audience with one that never saw wrestling in its glory days. That's the only reason half these guys have any fans.

Replying to an accusation is getting worked? I guess Nash reporting a sex crime was getting worked too?

@6299935
same fags are as bad as name fags

Cause thats all I needed to list you braindead retard, wipe your ass and watch good wrestling

Kek

You sound fucking new as Hell. Let me guess, 2016?

>john cena
>roman reigns
>undertaker (reminder that he wrestled 6 [SIX] matches in 2018
>brock lesnar
>becky lynch
>rey mysterio
>ronda rousey
>AJ styles

Even non wrestling fans know who these people are.

Imagine actually believing this. People know Cena, Taker, Rey and Lesnar, and these people have been stars for well over a decade. The point is WWE hasn’t made a new star in at least 10 years.

This. When he finally dies that is an immediate change his successors should make. Wrestling might never reach MNW level ever again but that does not mean it cannot cross over with pop culture at large. Letting wrestlers appear in other media is advertising for the company which means opportunities for higher ratings, higher ticket sales, merchandise, etc.

The Cena era was incapable to create stars, so there's nobody who can put over your New talent. And they made the same mistake of putting just one guy as the center piece of the show.
They are a big part of the reason why WWE sucks right now. Also, go back.

>Becky Lunch
>AJ Styles
>Roman Reigns
Are you joking, right?

It takes 10+ years to make a big star though. The Rock, stone cold , taker, etc took decades to get as big as they were. Doesn't happen over night.

WWE has Bryan, Brock, AJ, Finn all well known big stars

Bryanfags, everyone.

Wut? Rock took decades?

No one outside of this diabetes bubble knows who AJ/Finn is, few know Bryan, some know Brock.

You’re a drone pajeet

Rock, Stone Cold and Taker were over within 2 years of joining the WWF, it actually does happen basically over night you have it or you dont, take you room tempature IQ back to Pajeetville.

>it actually does happen basically over night you have it or you dont

You think Taker would have been so over if he didn't have Paul or started jobbing a year after? You think Stone Cold would have been so over if all he did was bitchslap Vince once and just look smug everytime on camera without doing anything else? Its all about the booking, you could make the next Rock out of a 5'3 midget with no muscle mass if he was booked right, Sadly the creative team are fucking monkeys and haven't booked one decent show in like...15 years now

I'm begging you to get out more. No one outside of the wrestling bubble know becky, and aj. Roman a few people here and there will know.

Nigga rock and stone cold were in the business for a long ass time and changed A LOT with their chsracters. You stupid zoomer

Stop. You know nothing.

Steve Austin debuted in 1989, signed with WWF in 1995, became SCSA in 96 and retired in 2003.
His whole career was 14 years long and became the bigger star in the business

you have no idea what you are on about, all of the greatness you hear about and i saw occured in less than 5 years at the end of the millennium, both of them had the gimmicks that took them to the top within 2 years of debuting

What?

Roman
Brock

>Batista
pretty good but did help kill the business with evolution
>Umaga
not a draw
>Wreck Flair
never a draw even in his prime, never was the top guy in the big leagues
>HBK
never drew a dime
>JBL
never drew a dime
>Finley
fucking lmao
>Cena
was a draw I guess but at the expense of everyone else to the point that he shrank the business' drawing potential anyway
>Triple H
One of the biggest anti-draws of all time, his run on top 02-05 completely killed the business and the ratings
>Jeff Hardy
over but never drew
>Orton
Never drew a dime, killed the business with evolution
>Undercarder
One of the biggest anti-draws in history, never the guy etc.
>Rey
was a merch draw but never a ratings/buyrate draw, killed smackdown when he was on top for three months
>Big Show
never drew a dime
>Jericho
never drew a dime
>Edge
was a ratings draw in 2006 as the rated R superstar, never drew a dime besides that
>MVP
never drew a dime

Who the fuck is that beside cena

Taker has never been a big star, stop getting worked by WWE revisionist history

Every time he got a major push he killed the ratings, king of the ring literally got cancelled because he was such an anti-draw as champ

Smdh

Kek Rollins and drew look like costume swaps office same character

>ruthless aggression era kid absolutely seething

Daniel Bryan is a cross over star. The whole YES thing broke barriers and was being done at all sorts of events.

>>B-But the yes chant is over, not him!!!!!!@@

Shut the fuck up. That completely disregards the effort the performer put into it. The chant is over because the performer performed it.

So many people have tried to start chant (some even tried to steal the Yes chant) and they failed miserably. Give the dude his credit.

Outside of Bryan and Lesnar, the closest cross over star is Roman Reigns.

For the company that creates one or two big stars per generation they are still on track. Cena and Orton are just now taking a back seat.

They're trying to make the women happen right now, so they're putting focus on Becky Lynch. If it will work or not is up to debate.

>underage zoomer drones didn't even know Fit Finlay before he was on Smackdown

Attached: 1497277570384.png (244x232, 59K)

Bryan is a star in the sense that he symbolizes the Zeitgeist of starlessness. People who don't know his name can point to him and say "that's why I don't watch wrestling."

You could do the same thing right now. Look back 10 years to 2009, take out all the stars that were around in the 90s and list which 2009 'superstars' we are currently getting nostalgic over

The companies current biggest names are all left out of this
>AJ
>Daniel Bryan
>Strowman

>Finn

Umaga wasn’t over? I guess he was never in the biggest money making match in wrestlemania then.

Could have been anyone

Umaga wasn't more over than literally everyone on the current roster =/=/ Umaga wasn't over

Beating Rey every week when he was champion didn't help

Still more of a household name than any current roster manlet

Not true. Rollins and Styles are way more known than WHO-maga

Bump

>all these redditors worked into a seething shoot trying to argue that todays wrestlers are as big of stars as the old days

I had no idea people were this retarded.. 2009 was during one of the WORST eras in the history of WWE and the fact people are claiming that wrestling was hot or in some boom blows my mind.

Who are these people?

>Umaga
>Ric Flair
>JBL
>Finlay
>Triple H
>HBK
>Undercarder
>Big Show
>Jericho
>Edge
>MVP
>Stars
I'm beggin ya to get a clue.

Even Big Show was over back in the day. Sure as fuck more than anyone on today's roster.

Finlay was pushed/protected for a few years. Boomers knew this.

seriously? I would think it’s the complete opposite that even Vince wants as much exposure as possible. That’s like locking yourself in a room and wondering why no one knows you.

the guy you responded to is retarded, if they were invited to advertise the product on another popular show they would fly them there in a second. the only wrestlers to host snl are hogan, rock, cena, pretty exclusive company.

>no Austin

And they said liberal Jewish Hollywood was a meme.

those guys might have had "star power" but they had shitty workrate. the guys today are overrall BETTER ATHLETES and put on a better match. a normal Raw match today has a higher star rating than most of the main events during that period. Sure, fair vs HHH maybe made more "dimes" but the match was shit. today you can see Finn put on a 5 star match on a normal night. you can see 205 have some of the best wrestling matches in history.

i'm only 19 and i admit.... i didn't see the Aditute era and to be honest with you ... i really not interested in fart jokes and dumb gross shit like half naked women. i want to see the best workers put on the match of their life in front of fans that love WRESTLING!!!

>definitely not a meme

You know things are bad when there's a good chance this is a shoot.

Umaga wasn't over but he was a great heel. Whenever he came out he felt like someone who would fucking kill you. He's Joe but actually full heel.

well damn son, you've gone and worked me into a shoot, you've got some real heat on you now, it's feeling like go away heat but lets see how you handle it

...

you tell me

>Umaga wasn’t over
He was 10x more talented than Roman. Wrong kid died

Mmmmmmmmmmm. 20 pure strikes and bring a bottle of jack to court kid.

but it took them decades of working the circuit and going through character changes before it got to that point you turd. You're not just born great, it takes hard work.

yikes, do you even watch wrestling?

That's where you belong boi now go back

Yara: When I was a little girl my parents would not allow me to go south of 8th mile. And I did not even know what that meant until I got a little older. And I started realizing that. That was where the city started and the suburbs ended. And I used to think about how shitty and weird was that. I mean I had to ask permission to go to the state fair with my best friend and her parents only because it was a few blocks past the border.

Wrestler's court, tomorrow. Pick up some Jack, boy

MVP got reactions.
The guy was a heel 95% of his run in wwe, but he at least had fans respond to him.

Compare this photo to the roster from 1999 and it looks like a bunch of no draw geeks. The only stars in it are Flair, HBK and Cena. HHH, Undertaker and Batista are debatable too but the rest aren't draws or stars

Bullshit. No one wants them. Cena is begging and sucking dick for acting gigs and the best he could do is get roles that poke fun at who he is. He's a laughing stock who can't even outdraw Sex Offender Peyton Manning as an ESPY host.
