Diversity in the WWE
I think living in Toronto, which is the most multicultural city in the world, makes the WWE look so white washed.

Diversity in the WWE
Since the WWE is the largest wrestling company in the world who tries to appeal everywhere and have TV deals and tours everywhere you would expect them to have some diversity. It turns out, it's pretty lacking. First there are 53 wrestlers on the active main roster and 43 of them are male which is 81.1%. 38 of those 43 males are American at 88.4%. What about this, 12 of the males are either black, Spanish or Samoan. So, yes, 72.1% of the male roster is white males. Those numbers seem way too high. I think if you are trying to appeal to a mass audience around the world, maybe the WWE should mix it up a bit. Obviously they should focus on the ones that will make them the most money, but we all know that is not what they do either. I doubt this is really on purpose. I'm not saying the WWE is a racist sexist company or anything.

From what I understand you send Dave e-mails, have a podcast/article and get recommended by other voters are the key ingredients.

The "Confirmed Stories of Triple H Being A Total Douchebag" Thread
It's hard to believe that the WWE is so stupid that they are running Triple H vs Sting and not something that actually builds up the future like Rusev-Sting or Luke Harper-Sting or Bray-Sting.

The booking of Daniel Bryan going forward
why would you end the undefeated streak now?
-
Current WWE
well Bryan never lost the title. It wouldn't be difficult at all to sell people the idea that he's at least entitled to a number 1 contender's match to settle this "controversy", especially when you consider people want Bryan anyway so there's really nothing to sell. It's not like people are going to be crying 'injustice' over this if it were to happen. There is no "controversy" though. Bryan was entered into the Rumble and was thrown out easily and fairly in a few minutes.

The booking of Daniel Bryan going forward
The thing is they have more options than Reigns. Not to make a huge list, as there are options, but Dean Ambrose is right there. Over the summer who was more over and they shit it away.

WWE Network Results - will it keep things the same with their booking?
Cool. Im guessing its not free for US subscribers as being out for almost a year in the states everyone would have signed up by now. IT'S FREE TO ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS EVERYWHERE!

That is the best idea if you are the WWE.

Current WWE
Why? It's not like the belt is changing on free TV. Nor should they act like it is going to. Paying to see title fights should be expected, in my opinion. Part of what devalued the titles, at least to me, was WCW & WWF giving away a bunch of stuff for free during the Monday Night Wars because they cared more about winning the ratings in a week instead of keeping their product strong. I agree that Brock was not around enough last year to be WWE Champion. He should have been, at the very least, at every other PPV. But I like him showing up sporadically, as it makes him feel like a bigger deal. If he was there every Monday to wrestle & the belt was with him each week, he would feel like everyone else on the roster: stagnant. When I said on TV I did mean on PPV. That is important to see the title defended at each Months show. This is probably the first time in history the title hasent been defended regulary. But just flat out not mentioning Brock on TV isnt good either. I know people moan about Cena holding the belt but if he had been given the belt at NOC we would have had regular title defenses. During the height of wrestling's popularity in the late 1990's Hulk Hogan barely defended the title in WCW. Also, having Brock lose the title to Cena after a month's reign would be the stupidest booking ever. The streak ends, SummerSlam has this crazy squash booking and then Brock loses the title int he rematch? Seriously?

The booking of Daniel Bryan going forward
In contrast Survivor Series 2013, when Bryan was pushed out of the main event. The pay-per-view was the worst-selling edition of Survivor Series since the event's inception in 1987; this has been attributed to a weak buildup.[4][5] It received 179,000 buys, down from 208,000 for the previous year's event; and attracted more than 100,000 fewer orders than the 2011 event, which generated 281,000 buys.[6]
