GOT Wrestle Fest Fan Thread

Ray Mysterio doesn't even belong in the same conversation as The Undertaker!

Sure Undertaker will draw a bigger audience then pretty much everyone on the current roster. So would Hulk Hogan. That doesn't mean it's a good idea for him to wrestle again.
Well you clearly don’t know anything about marketing if you think people in Mexico don’t tune into raw to see Rey mysterio.

You see it all the time in football when Man Utd signed park ji sung and when we signed li tie and weifeng. Heck even before city brought in the billionaire they were signing Asian players. Look how much exposure spurs get in Korea because of son.

WWE sign unknown inidian and Chinese wrestlers for a reason
 
It was you who suggested that wrestling still works for Taker at this point. When it obviously doesn't.

That's my point.

Ray Mysterio isn't a draw at this stage. Nobody is going to tune into RAW or Smackdown becuse of Ray Mysterio, Latino or not.
If Rey isn’t a draw then why is he booked on raw as one of the contenders for the championship belt? Why was he given a wrestlemania match with a belt on the line? Your talking out your arse now.

You suggest undertaker doesn’t have what it takes anymore but I will guarantee you one thing the wwe universe don’t care and if he was booked for an event it would sell out because people would pay money just to see him never mind see him wrestle. Same with Rey. People from Latina background will buy tickets just to see him and he’s such a big draw for that community that he’s involved in massive matches. If you watch any episode of raw or any Ppv there is always a large section of fans who support Rey and wear his merch.

RAW and Smackdown are getting all time low ratings. Are you sure lots of people tune into WWE for Ray? It's not 2009. People don't care that much about Ray Mysterio anymore. He's a nostalgic attraction and nothing else.

WWE's marketing strategy of making Jider Mahal didn't work to well in India did it? You can't just throw people onto the mix of random matchs and hope it'll do well to attract demographics.

You're talk of football maketing is utterly irrelevant to a discussion of Ray Mysterio and his draw value in 2019.

WWE can sign random Chinese and Indian wrestlers all they want. If they're doing nothing with them, nobody will care.

Its hilarious that you say I'm "talking out of my arse" but you don't even know the difference between Latino and Latina. If you're going to try and lecture somebody about a group of people try to at least use the right words when describing them.

You must be joking here? You think having Ray Mysterio in a one min squash match at Mania proves he has draw value?! It was a throw away match for a throw away title that has as much significance as the old Hardcore or European title did.

Why is he in a number one contenders match. Your guess is as good as mine but I suppose it makes sense for a company who names a tag team "Viking Experience" and thinks that will get over!

Again with your silly comparisons between Undertaker and Ray Mysterio, they're not even close to the same level draw wise and never have been at any point ffs. Of course Undertaker could sell out a building for a match at any point even now, I never disputed otherwise. So could Hulk Hogan but it would still be a terrible idea to do so both from a health perspective and a match quality perspective.

Again it's 2019 not 2009 and Mysterio isn't the draw he was. He's been brought in to be a jobber for the stars as he has name recognition and was a draw once.

1. his name is rey, how can you mispell a three letter name

2. its the demographic of the viewership not the ratings that i am on about

3. im 100% positive that a large proportion of that viewership is from mexico which has a massive latino community and that they tune in specifically to watch rey, and im 100% convinced that he will appear on the majority of raw episodes on tv

4. your opinion that he is simply a nostalgic attraction has already been disproven given that at the OLD age of 44 he is already fighting for the WWE Title and numerous other titles in 2019

5. latina is the feminine term for latino and i clearly meant latino as im not a female, it is therefore the same group of people so you are talking out of your arse, you are probably confused with hispanic / latino.

6. if you actually did any research you will know that rey mysterio was injured at wrestlemaniaso he had to be squashed, how ironic that instead of cancelling the match and finding him a new partner, which could have quite easily been andrade, they gave him some screen time to pander to their latino audience because he's their biggest wrestler superstar....but he is just a minor nonchalent wrestler....


7. Why is he in a number 1 contenders match, because he's still a GOD DAMN AWESOME WRESTLER even at the age of 44, his match yesterday got an A rating, because he is a superstar who can still pull it off week in and week out

8. i guess someone missed the memo that they have been renamed The Viking Raiders;

9. my "silly comparison" was actually in relation to demographic viewership for a latino audience and that it would make sense for rey to be on smackdown if FOX wanted to grab a large proportion of latino viewers as his draw to the latino community is as big the as undertaker's in the wwe universe. That is something that can't be disputed, he's a much bigger superstar than andrade who was drafted to smackdown instead. so my theory is that the reddit thread is talking a load of bull, but instead you jump in with OMG HES COMPARING REY TO UNDERTAKER OMG

10. its 2019 and the jobber is still smashing it, still fighting for titles and still putting in A grade matches. The old man is clearly doing something right.
