Mike7429 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 OOC Welcome! Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by! A lot of talk about WWE selling their broadcasting rights for major events happened earlier this year, and I thought it would be a great scenario to play as. Vince McMahon no longer has a majority stake of the WWE, Triple H has been given a lot more responsibilities and power, and a huge cooperation in Disney to ensure the WWE runs as a tight ship. Lots of exciting backstage storylines to explore! The exciting thing about Disney is the presentation and creative ideas WWE can have. I plan on using a lot more "Cinematic" matches where appropriate. I plan on really focusing on character work and story lines, with a lot of financial background for this dynasty (TV ratings and PPV buy-rates, financial reports, etc). Expect shorter TV show write ups, with extended coverage for PPV/Network specials. I am not the greatest at graphics, so this will be mostly text based. This dynasty will have greater emphasis on fiction then reality. I have tried to start a dynasty like this before, heres to hoping for a better second go round. Thank you so much for checking out my dynasty, lets get this show on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney representatives were also in attendance. “There has been a lot of buzz lately within the WWE. This year looks to be one of the most exciting and promising times for us, and we are committed to delivering the best wrestling on the planet for all our wonderful fans.” During the press conference, the following information was released: -Monday night RAW and Friday night Smackdown will now both be a one hour broadcast. This was a Disney decision, as they do not want new potential fans to be put off by the large time commitment it takes to view WWE programming. They feel they can retain more of an audience with shorter, fast paced exciting shows. -RAW and Smackdown broadcasting information will be released shortly. -Monthly events will be returning to Pay Per View. It is understood that fans will be upset by this, but WWE is hoping to give many viewing options for the B level PPV shows, along with special events to make up for it. -WWE will continue to push and expand in international markets. These markets include India, Russia, and Japan. -WWE will not be having any more events in Saudi Arabia for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fan Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 IIRC, the Apter mag Wrestling '86 once did an interview with Vince McMahon that year where he proclaimed himself as "the Walt Disney of wrestling". Looks like that just might happen in this diary now that Disney has majority ownership of WWE here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
