This week, Hal, Danielle and Lindsey take a look at WWE’s new Wild Card rule!
For the last several years WWE’s two shows have existed as (mostly) separate shows with separate rosters. But a lot of that went right out the window this week, as more crossover is guaranteed in the future. We’ll discuss the positives and negatives of this new strategy.
The Wild Card rule is meant to spur interest in the product. And let’s face it: there’s a LOT of negativity surrounding WWE right now from most viewers. And this goes beyond the disingenuous IWC criticism; ratings have dipped, fans say they’ve lost faith in the company’s story-telling ability.
What’s the cause of this? Well, that “Ucey Hot” segments with the Revival probably didn’t help. But we’ll take a look at what the problems are and whether or not WWE is being held to an unfair standard that other popular media isn’t.
The Three Count:
Danielle put over Detective Pikachu dancing to Sami Zayn’s music.
Lindsey put over Kushida’s NXT debut.
Hal put over this Twitter thread of crazy Vince McMahon stories.
Hosted by Hal LublinDanielle Radford and Lindsey Kelk.
Produced by Julian Burrell for Maximum Fun.
