Give them time to grow. Maybe they should go to the farm leagues and work more. Vince and his monsters.
Dive.
But you don't want to bury them, there might be a diamond or two in the rough.
Rant on: I don't watch the shows much anymore, haven't since Vince bought everybody and it all went to hell. I do watch a lot of youtube that everybody posts so I can get a taste of what I have and haven't missed. It's true we need young blood in the game but there have been more misses than hits (see all the monsters for all the misses) but they can't afford to not give some of these kids a chance. I still think managers, the non-speaking heels and the faces that let the bodies in the ring speak for them, and more ring time in the minors is what these kids need. They can't just think it's automatic television time and the big leagues just because they were in NXT. There has to be a happy medium but Vince and company are complacent with the status quo and that may be their downfall.
Drugs are another concern and always have. The wrestlers live where pot is legal and go to states where it's legal in a lot of cases so they need to make rules for it rather than ban it. Go easy on the pain meds an do random checks. Do concussion protocols. Show the NFL how it should be done. Police the social media. Watch what does and doesn't get out. They work for the company and there should be rules in place for it. Cuiserweights. I can't be alone in this, can I? Bring in the luchador style and the All Japan lighter fighter styles. There are things outside the company that draw crowds Vince, use it, grow it, there's a huge demand for it, just look at the crowds for this stuff still and see there's money in it.
Drugs are a problem, this needs to be addressed but it seems to fall to the way side rather than being confronted and helped. These are human beings and we hurt. When you got kids taking massive doses of hard opiates, there's a huge problem. Help them rather than fire them. Some of these folks need professional help. They need mental health check ups to watch for things, depression and alcohol are not something you want problems with, remember Benoit and some of the other that have committed suicide and murders? This may be entertainment but these are real humans and they need help sometimes.
If anybody sees something I missed or thinks I'm full of shit, let me know. This has been bothering me for a while after reading all of this. Getting older changes ones perspective.
Live like a legend, die like an asshole.
