Closest Vince ever got to this level with Cena was whenever Cena looked weak in feuds and he panicked over potential lost merch sales. With crowds, Vince didn't care or just had Cena repeatedly leach crowd heat from others who were more over. |

]The current plans call for Roman to get the 'Daniel Bryan' storyline of being screwed by management all the time to prevent him from being champion, so when he wins the belt finally it will generate a large response. No word on if Kurt is turning heel, but the plan is for the audience to feel like Roman has been screwed by WWE management and is fighting back against all odds.
I don't even have the words. |

I like Roman and think he's a good wrestler...but I don't like Roman as "the top guy".
He would be a great upper mid card badass face...or a good heel...but the two moves of doom, 'sympathetic' babyface character and push doesn't fit him at all. |

How was he screwed at WrestleMania? He got his ass kicked. I think Vince has forgotten what wrestling is.

Michael Hayes was also behind Brock vs. Reigns at WrestleMania. I don't know how much blame you can put on Hayes, given that Reigns is toxic right now and there are lots of reasons for that. And Seth Rollins is glorious and doesn't have the same pressures on him. That being said, if you were doing a refresh of WWE programming, Hayes would probably not make the cut. He's also caused them a few backstage problems (thinking mainly of the Bobby Lashley incident). He might be a dude like Kevin Dunn that just needs to be lost in the reshuffled deck when something happens to Vince.
It's pretty weird that John Morrison is going to probably have more exposure than anyone in the WWE. |

I think the door has always been open to him. He’s kept himself relatively busy.

The number of entrants and the final two in that Japan Rumble match were interesting. Wonder how they decided on 18. That's a random ass number.

The Miz can cut some good promos when he's not under WWE directive, but I just don't buy him as a main event guy.

Harold Meij's ambition impresses me, and I am curious to see if/where it all leads. A 3-hour SmackDown does not impress me. As lucky as Vince has been in the past to secure the deals he has, come along at the right time, find the right stars, etc., the way they are inflating themselves means that if that interest drops, you have a huge balloon to keep inflated with no air. If New Japan can get viable and get themselves into a position where a significant fraction of the people watching Raw each week would rather watch it, then I can see them cutting into WWE's viewing audience quite a bit.
I know which one I would rather watch if I had the option of two at the same time, or even in the same week. |

I doubt that they don't feel that Rousey is up to a singles match with Mickie, but is for Nia. There's something going on that Women's Title scene, and it wouldn't surprise me if they are working themselves with the idea to be to put the belt on Rousey in order to boost their standings with USA or whatever.

Could be she’s “not ready for a singles match” and they’re planning a swerve at MITB. Could see Natalya winning the briefcase and cashing in before the Nia-Rousey match even starts, to set up something between Natalya (who would be more reliable to work with) and Rousey

From this week's Observer -- Meltzer on WWE (and UFC's) aging demographics and the changing landscape of things to come.

Summary:
* Average age of WWE viewer is 54. * SD going to Friday nights is great for them b/c research shows people over 50 don't go out on Friday nights so WWE's largest viewing demographic will be 'primed for the kill' * Fox will promote WWE during the NFL and other sports * Meltzer speculates the biggest matches, minus WrestleMania, will probably be on Smackdown after the move happens because SD will make more money than the WWE Network does and he speculates WrestleMania might end up a FOX special instead of on the WWE Network. |

The 54 age number is throwing me off.
I thought the game plan for like the last 10+ years was to draw in kids. |

It was -- but it didn't work as well as they hoped. They drew in some kids obviously -- but IIRC he's stated in the past they mostly were kids of adults who already watched the show -- and their kids started watching too. |

WWE spent well over a decade trying to groom Cena's base as their future for tv and failed miserably. Worse is that base didn't carry over as the foundation for Reigns which is another reason why he's struggled as a top star. Even worse is supposedly Cena's base doesn't stick around as wrestling fans once they become older which wasn't the case with Hogan or Austin. |
