Why is Vince McMahon unsuccessful Promoting anything but Wrestling?

Vince McMahon is a massive success story, an American Businessman who took the WWE (Then WWWF) from his father took a chance on Wrestlemaina and then took a chance on what he believed in and become a Millionaire, took WWE onto the stock exchange and made even more money and has huge success within wrestling to this day.  Vince Mcmahon become who he is by taking chances and believing in his vision.  I saw all of this growing up especially in the 90's where as a teenager WWE was maybe the most popular and hottest thing it has ever been with Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Mankind, Undertaker and more becoming household names all over the world, Vince seemed to have the golden touch, when it comes to wrestling. I began thinking recently what an amazing story Vince Mcmahon has and then I realised Vince McMahon is an amazing promoter but then I realised only at promoting wrestling. Vince has tried his hand at a few things since becoming so successful but all outside endeavours...

Mick Foley was right to Speak Up WWE needs to be Better

  Mick Foley was right to Speak Up WWE needs to be Better Mick Foley recently did a video (which you can see below) its entitled "WWE We have a problem" I want to first off give massive credit to Mick Foley for coming out and saying what he did because it would of been very easy for Mick to sit back and think it but to record it put it out there and spark a debate is very brave.  It wasn't easy for Mick to come out and say what he did with so many friends, fellow wrestlers and colleagues of his still working for the company and reports are that many at WWE aren't happy with what he said either but I think they needed to hear it.  WWE needs to be challenged to be better.  WWE isn't a bad company far from it, they have created so many great memories, moments and events over the years WWE was great, but that's what Mick is getting at WWE WAS great but isn't where it used to be right now.  Its creatively challenged and uninspired at the moment WWE needs to...

All Elite CM Punk

It has been 7 Years since CM Punk Left WWE in 2014 and left pro wrestling to move into MMA, Acting and Movies and seemingly leave pro wrestling behind.  CM Punk stated on many occasions he wasn't interested in wrestling and he didn't feel there was any reason for him to come back.  When CM Punk did talk about wrestling he stated he wanted a new challenge and if he did want to come back it would have to be something that he was interested in and something that he wanted to do, not just coming back to come back. CM Punk coming to All Elite Wrestling has been rumoured ever since the inception of All Elite Wrestling as a company, it was strongly rumoured at Starrcast 3 (A wrestling convention) in which CM Punk did a sit down/Q&A about his career on 31 August 2019, however Punk was asked the question whether he would appear the next day, at All Out he said no and nothing did take place.  See the full Starcast interview below  So what has changed? Honestly it...

Now is the time for All Elite Wrestling to grow TV ratings and Youtube Subscribers

AEW and its flagship TV show AEW Dynamite has been established since Oct 2019 and since that launch they have been opposed by WWE and WWE NXT brand.  WWE along with USA network put NXT on USA Network on Wednesday nights to oppose AEW on TNT Network. WWE made a statement and as from 30 March 2021 NXT will now to on Tuesday nights leaving AEW unopposed and the only wrestling show to watch on Wednesdays. AEW are now on their own and with NXT on Tuesday all the focus will be on them. They have their own night and will have the whole audience. So what challenges lay ahead for AEW?  AEW need to be able to not only be able to excite the audience they have but also progress and be able to gain even more fans and people watching their product.  Now more than ever AEW storylines, how they present themselves is going to be under the microscope even more. For me this is where the experienced wrestlers come in, so many people have questioned why AEW signed established stars. For ...

Paul Wight (Big Show) joins All Elite Wrestling from WWE and why its so important

  In massive news this week it was announced by All Elite Wrestling that they have signed Paul Wight (formally known as The Big Show). This was shocking news, no one knew this was happening or that Paul Wight wanted to leave WWE where Wight had been wresting since 1999 and decided to leave after 22 Years with the company.  This is a huge (no pun intended) singing for AEW and just the sort of signing they needed.  Paul Wight is one of the most recognisable faces in Wrestling due to his long tenure ( he started in WCW in 1995), his size being the largest wrestler in the world and also his credibility as a top talent. Put Paul Wight on a poster, video game cover, advertisement and fans will know who he is, even fans that haven't watched in years will know who he is and that may draw in fans to watch AEW who may not of known about it or given it a chance before. Paul Wight was thrust into many roles and he has experienced many different things through...

The Forbidden Door is Open AEW and NJPW

Since the inception of AEW at a press conference in Jacksonville, Florida on 8 January 2019 fans have been wondering and clamouring could there be a cross promotion between the newly formed AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling. With the majority of the AEW Roster being announced at the conference in Jan 2019 and being revealed as a number of Ex New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) Alumni (Cody, The Young Bucks, Chris Jericho, Adam Page etc) and then following this in Feb 2019 Kenny Omega was announced as AEW signee, fans grew hopefully that a collaboration might happen. However sadly during the first year of the company this was not to be. AEW during that year had Jon Moxley, Best Friends, Lance Archer and other NJPW Alumni join their roster and  despite AEW and AEW Owner Tony Khan allowing his AEW contracted wrestlers to wrestle for NJPW (Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley) New Japan was still unwilling to allow their wrestlers to appear on AEW. Then thing star...
