The Next Professional Wrestling Thread: Here Comes The $$$$$

[Jimjamesak]

Sure. But his era died a long time ago. WWE was good when Shawn Michaels, Triple H, The Rock, Stone Cold, and The Undertaker were at their peak. Now it's just a shell of itself.

WWE fell victim, like many companies before it, to it's corporatization and it's necessity to generate enough profit to appease the shareholders. WWE is far more of an entertainment entity than a wrestling entity, but one that doesn't want to generate big enough stars to succeed out of fear of losing them and their value.

The Undertaker retiring is more the death of the cartoony early 90's era. Remember, The Undertaker came out of the same era as Doink the Clown, Dr. Issac Yankem DDS, and Irwin R. Schyster. The Attitude era echo will continue on with The Hardys, Trips, and whenever The Rock gets trotted out (plus anyone else they drag out).

Is this the one where the fans booed and actually chanted that they went "too far"? Because if you're too redneck for the WWE fanbase, you have journeyed into some very interesting territory.

Actually a study showed that WWE fans were usually left leaning, but also don't vote regularly.

In contrast, hockey fans tend to be conservative.

Interesting. I wonder where college hockey fans rank. On the one hand, super white, lots from the prairies, long tradition of rural popularity.

But on the other, you know, college.
