January Wrestling Thread/NTWT Jobber Of The Week D Fly

Just like pyro right?

Waste of money.

Kevin Sullivan said in 97, pyro was costing WCW 30k per NITRO.

30K adds up over time.

That is 1.5 million over the course of 52 weeks.

Sure, it gets the live audience hype for a second but when you are looking to cut costs, all that stuff can GO

 

[DCAllAfrican]

It adds to the spectacle. Part of why it was more exciting

I acknowledge that but stages aren't outting on good matches or writing strong storylines.

After the initial viewing, it is just....a....STAGE.

A good show has NEVER been called a good show BECAUSE OF a stage.

True, but it’s about presentation too. That was also in 97, it’s probably somewhat cheaper now.

Batista, Kane, Goldberg. Pyro MADE their entrances. Imagine their entrances without it...

Yea, I would like to see prices nkw.

Look, I am not denying the idea of presentation being important but when the actual PRODUCT doesn't make people want to come back each week, adding an extra production expense would be a weird way to funnel resources.

That is my claim.

Has it been discussed or noticed that the WWE championship looks smaller now?

It should be smaller since the competitors are snaller.

Dudes walking around with big belts on their waists looked super dumb

Kids are simple creatures.

They don't need all that.

Save money.
Fatten pockets.
Mistreat talent.

Don't even have to go back that far, look at how underwhelming Lashley and AJ Styles' entrances are without pyro

Read that Rosemary has been needing some time of knee surgery for awhile, but instead of opting for the surgery, she's just been wearing a huge knee brace, and moving extremely sluggish, almost dragging her leg during matches. That is awful if true and shouldn't happen.
