It's weird to read how people talk about TKO. They own the company. Every booking decision that happens is a result of who TKO put in charge to make those decisions. There's no distinction between a decision HHH makes and a decision another executive makes.
There's another issue I'm seeing because the fans think the product sucks and that it's cold. Then I see the owner interfering for the exact same reason, he thinks that the product sucks and that it's cold. It's bad that he thinks that? Almost everything on these shows is unwatchable. I can't believe Danhausen got foisted onto a company that is actually using him to ruin shit.
There are a lot of other issues I saw in video clips this weekend, and it's one of those things I can't quantify because it doesn't make sense to me and I don't understand the way people are now. But I saw WWE promoting George Kittle chugging beer or something in the expensive tickets section. If you're the kind of person who's 40 years old and you still hang on some athlete nuts you really need to grow up. Who are these promotional clips for? They're promoting guys drinking beers that are 20 dollars because they know they can rape you for 20 dollar beer. The richer the people that go, the more expensive everything costs. The guys are sitting in seats that now cost $30,000 because those are the kinds of people who sit in those seats. Then I saw them promoting influencers who I've never even heard of.
It's not just WWE and it's not just wrestling, I think events like this and Coachella are completely ruining society. WWE would probably fucking love the fact that I'm equating these things. There's an ever growing tier of entertainment that regular people aren't able to participate in. I don't think WWE was all that bothered by lowered attendance this year. The tickets that matter got sold.
There's a process to how this kind of thing happens. You have kids who watch people who other people are following around with a camera for hours on end. You put so much money in their pockets for doing NOTHING, that they can afford to pay whatever these tickets cost and help companies price out their fans. People chase their chance to sit next to these people so they buy a ticket on Klarna and practically bankrupt themselves. There's already been some significant changes in human behavior we've seen because of this, and it's only going to get worse. It's just going to trickle over to everything else. At some point in the near future you'll never hear about a regular person going to watch their team in the Super Bowl. Because there literally won't be any there.
