Re: WWE Off-Topic
In another interview he did, he mentions how Triple H and Stephanie barely knew who he was and really didn't interact at all with him (I believe he was talking about Connor), which was just crazy to hear because you'd think there would be some line of communication there.
None of this really surprises me. I can't wait for guys like Ryder and Ziggler to leave one day and tell their stories of how crappy a work environment WWE was.Currently Playing:

Re: WWE Off-Topic
A Jim Ross "rant" as he referred to it apparently on the state of the pro wrestling buisness. Thoughts?
“I’ve said here many times that I hope that all wrestling promotions are successful and make it through their respective rough waters that many are currently encountering. Nonetheless, some within these organizations can’t handle constructive criticism and seem to take some things that I say personally which is both childish and unprofessional. It is my prerogative to criticize bad acting, over scripted promos, no selling major moves, illogical creative and other eye rolling creative content in an attempt to re-invent what isn’t broken. I think that I’ve paid my dues, earned a decent track record within the biz and, above all, I am still a fan of over 50 years.
The vast majority of wrestlers these days are not good promo talents. Reason being is that creative staffs seemingly have to justify their existence by role playing with these individuals and scripting virtually every word that the talents say. That system is both outdated and unproductive as fans today can recognize a wrestler reciting a promo from memory instead as from their heart within a few sentences.
Wrestling is best when it comes from a logically, realistic place and is executed inside the ring as an athletic contest built on common sense and not an acrobatic show that exposes the business as a sham with no selling and the complete lack of some talent’s ability to properly apply an actual wrestling hold.
The faster some talent perform the louder that they tell us that their skill set is lacking and that they are trying to get by on sensationalism instead of realism.
I get taken to task because of my 21 years in WWE as if I’m picking on the TNA’s, ROH’s, Lucha Underground’s, etc of the world when nothing could be further from the truth. I’ve dedicated 40+ years of my life to the wrestling business, proudly I might add, and would do it all over again if the opportunity presented itself. But that isn’t going to happen. I want the business to be healthy and to prosper long after I’m gone for future generations to enjoy. At the rate of some of the things that I’m watching each week on TV are happening, I’m not sure sure that’s going to occur.Comment

Re: WWE Off-Topic
Yeah and like J.R. said, most fans see right through it, yet companies still continue to slam their heads against the wall.
I've been watching pro wrestling for 30-plus years and it always slays me how thin-skinned the talent/writers/promoters are. The common retort from those in the business to someone like me offering a critique on the product is that my opinion doesn't matter because I've never wrestled a match. What does one have to do with another? If a guy like Jim Ross, who has a proven track record in the business, can't offer an opinion on a company's product without being taken to task, then that just reinforces how tone-deaf those in the industry are.
WWE always claims to listen to the fans but they consistently prove the opposite is true.Currently Playing:

Re: WWE Off-Topic
It's great that those "superfans" really do love the product and everything and will go to shows in diff cities and all that, but when you sit in a similar section all the time,wearing the exact same clothes during every one of those events, surely you have to be doing that for attention....Either that,or cause you don't have enough money to spend on clothes since all your money is spent on going to these showsComment

The greatest super fan ever was the sign guy. Had a sign for everything.
