WWE pretty much lost interest in him twice when they had him. First when his "Master Lock" aura was broken and the other time when he lost muscle mass because he wasn't on roids anymore. |

Yeah, and Triple H felt the need to point it out, because he was allowed to do his growth stuff.

Unlike with Elias, WWE universe would politely listen to an entire song played by Asuka out of fear of erasure if she gets interrupted. |

Had a thought of Samoa Joe winning the Rumble but then pulling a Benoit by switching shows, goes to SmackDown and has a banger with AJ at Mania.
Can't decide if him leaving Raw to avoid Brock/get off the same show as Roman makes him look smart or makes him look like a bitch. |

Forgot there was even another Tough Enough after the one "Big Andy" won. Show probably should have died after the MTV days.

Tough Enough was always an awful concept. Sorry to go all Cornette on y'all, but it exposes the business. Also, when you get a rookie and give them a contest win, it's still going to be a few years before you see a return on that investment. Tough Enough should have been a tournament featuring OVW guys or a show more like The Ultimate Fighter, where Al Snow and Tazz choose teams, then those guys eliminate each other until one has a contract and a European Title shot or something. Whatever.

I liked the first Tough Enough, but they should have given Maven more time developing. Dude had charisma and was a great athlete, but he was wrestling, what, 2 months after winning so they could cash in?

I marked out for the Taker elimination as much as the next kid, but it didn't amount to anything until about 2005, when he turned heel, was surprisingly refreshing, but that's just because he was shit instead of shitty white meat.

Jason Jordan is apparently hurt now. They're not sure how serious it is, but he had to miss some Raw house shows.

Other places are exploding with "Vince needs to stop getting these guys to work so much," whereas I think it is probably closer to "these guys need to learn how to work more wisely."

Tough Enough as an idea was pretty good but like a lot of things, WWE handled its execution poorly. They treated it similar to the Divas Search where they just signed a bunch of people per season making the contest part a bit moot and never bothered to really develop the winners into future stars.
Them refusing to learn from their mistakes was a big reason why USA Network got pissed off with the revival. |

Must of been a fault.
Very much enjoyed Royal Rumble 95, the time where it seemed like every new wrestler also had a job. Be it a Binman, Clown , Baseball player etc |

JR and King confirmed to be calling Raw 25. I hope JR doesn't give a fuck and just drills logic holes through everything.

It almost could have worked with both people ducking. If he had any awareness, upon missing the clothesline, he should have had the momentum cause him to fall out of the ring. His partner checks on him, and the babyface could roll him up for a three count.

The problem is that they clearly didn't have awareness.

I'm listening to the Wrestlenomics podcast right now. It's long, but I'm finding the discussion very interesting. My key take away is that digital expansion is not going as well for the WWE as much as they seem to be focusing on it. Their biggest revenue increases are in television rights (which is widely reported), but also from WWE Shop. It's possibly because the WWE have opened up a whole new bunch of international channels, partnerships, etc.
