I’m starting to realize that most wrestling fans these days are starting to become nostalgia marks. That’s why it’s almost impossible for new stars to be built up.

i think you mean wwe fans, and it's not really their fault. wwe is pretty consistent with their message that the current stars aren't as good as the old ones.
i thought the butcher/andy williams did a great job with the opportunity he had in the main event of dynamite. he's already more fun to watch than the blade. also good to see britt baker back, the women's division needs her.
Scum bag WWE at it again. The company wants to take over talents twitch accounts. Failure to comply would result in fines, suspensions or termination. Oh, twitch earning will be taken from their downside guarantee

Fuck this company

So Chris Jericho was on the StuGotz show today on ESPN. He was the guest picking the winner of NFL games. He was talking about his very first match 30 years ago. He said during the interview, he keeps handwritten journal of every match he has ever had. Crazy. His first match was before 130 fans. The promoter at the time wanted him to have a Cowboy persona. Cowboy Chris Jericho was going to be his name. LOL
So apparently Roman's having a rematch with Jey, and I think it's a match inside the cell
"That percentage will go against their downside guarantee."
This is the most sh***y part imo. Because it essentially means that the talent isn't making any extra money in the end.
WWE doing this when they're making record profits and in the middle of a pandemic where making some extra money is even more important, just makes them look extra greedy and callous.
this is true, as a kid in the 80's while hulkamania was supposedly "running wild" everybody i knew was actually longing for the days of karl gotch vs george hackenschmidt.
yeah man i don't get these people who care about anyone other than themselves . what's the deal with that??

Wouldn't go that far as to say they were naustalgic for Karl and George... but I'll wager many of the long time adult fans at the time would have marked out for Bruno.
If you're an adult wrestling fans, I think you're potentially likely to pop for the wrestlers you grew up watching as a kid. That's probably normal for any sport, but maybe a little moreso in pro-wrestling. You're not likely to see Joe Montana or Steve YOung come out of retirement to throw the game winning pass at the Superbowl... but there's always a possibility your favorite wrestler from a previous generation might show up at the Royal Rumble or whatever.
