Competition for WWE?

> Your blog has become a steady stream of people complaining about the current product or, like me, have totally tuned out. It feels like there’s a huge opportunity for somebody out there to make a run at an ice cold WWE.

> There are so many under-utilized guys in WWE who re-up for job security but get absolutely wasted. I mean, the Attitude era was essentially a re-packaging of WCW midcarders that never got pushed. Are you surprised no one has launched a serious challenge to the WWE in the past 15 years?

No, because the business is totally different in the post-Turner era. You need endless money, plus a strong TV spot, plus enough talent to book shows with. TNA came closest but lacked any kind of good creative direction and even then they were only a minor annoyance at best. WWE is just too big to not crush any opposition before they start out. And even if someone succeeded they’d just send known android Byron Saxton back to 1984 to terminate their mother anyway.
