[Small Questions Thread & "Living FAQ"]

Product settings that are 'extremely' favorable for sponsorship include Traditional, Mainstream, Comedy, and Lucha Libre. Pick three of those as key features (and nothing else) and you'll be 'extremely favorable'.

 

So that makes Comedy one of the best product settings as it also increases popularity over performance. Popularity being far easier to increase than performance.

And Benoit, well, never really liked him from a superstar standpoint (by that meaning the complete package). He was BORING on the mic, and pretty small. Not top belt material in WWE.

 

The problem with Benoit is that he Kurt Angle and Eddie G. used a lot of the same psychology in their matches and had the whole rolling suplex variations.

 

It's like seeing the same match three times a week.

I've been watching TNA for the past few weeks and my main problem is that there are way too many angles per matches and there hasn't been a real main event. This results in me fast forwarding through most of the angles cause I'm like isn't there going to be a match yet?

It means that the WWE has consistently produced a product that more people across a wider variety of audience types are interested in spending their money on for a longer period of time than any other promotion in history.

 

If that doesn't mean 'better' to you ..so be it.

 

But they are the most successful at doing the most important thing in their industry.

 

Everything else is totally subjective.

 

EDIT: to be clear, I'm not saying that I enjoy everything the WWE does or that indy companies aren't entertaining, but it's sort of a joke to see net fans whine about how th WWe doesn't know what they're doing or how to develop talent when they're making so much f'n money in an industry where making money is really the only thing that counts.

 

The WWE has not produced a product that entertains compared to regular TV shows which are way more popular. WWE doesn't know what they're doing compared to normal TV. Part of it is that live entertainment is usually more repetitive than scripted(how often does JR say the same thing during announcing? How often do Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, or Eddie Guerrero use the same spots when wrestling?). Who's Line is it Anyways is repetitive too.

 

WWE doesn't compare favorably to sports. The announcers in MMA and Boxing tell it like it is in terms of the athletes involved plus their are less frequent events so their is less repetitive commentary. And, these sports usually have better psychology despite the occasional anti-climactic finish(which happens a lot in wreslting too). Plus, boxing and MMA have better storylines too.
