I liked the part where “Get the F out” was entirely a marketing strategy and not at all the result of a lawsuit haha

And yeah, even with ECW the Invasion was arguably the single most disappointing storyline in wrestling history. What a sloppy mess that turned into

Down with the flu so I checked out the first two episodes of the RA documentary. I imagine this is what it's like for someone watching a documentary on the AE that didn't see it live. It has me intrigued and if I had time I would watch it in order. Such a crazy thing how stacked that OVW class was.

It's also funny watching how they were saying hey we suck and need someone to grab the brass ring and Cena did but you fast forward to modern WWE and they're in the same damn problem again but legit make it so there can't be a next Cena.

The way wwe is now, they won't have a next Cena,Rock,Austin,Hogan.

They don't want stars to be bigger than the company.

I don’t think that’s true at all. All of those guys expanded WWEs audience and made tons of money for the company. Business is better when WWE has a go to guy.

But at the same time, they dont want one guy to be so big where they end up taking a big hit once that guy is injured or gone.

The gap between Hogan era and AE led to them taking a hit. Same as the hit they took once Rock/Austin left.

Most of the WCW wrestlers were contracted through WCW directly. The guys like Goldberg, Hogan, Nash, Sting, etc. were contracted through AOL/Time Warner directly.

So even though WCW was bought out, all of those guys could sit at home and be paid by AOL/Time Warner and not have to do anything.

Hope that straightens things out.

You could also say business wouldn’t have gotten as high as it was without Austin, The Rock, and The Hulkster. I’d take the highs and lows over them being consistently ok like they are now. I’d I’m being generous by calling them consistently ok.
