>>6708049>Yeah but Bill Watts wouldn't have taken the territory national if he was running new York.Nobody who came up promoting a territory would've wanted the whole nation. It's all you can do with the guys you have to put on shows in your own area. I don't know how Vince thought he could satisfy the whole country even with all the talent he'd poached.
>I don't know that territory wrestling would have survived the economic downturns of the 90s. The only downturns came about from incompetent booking by Vince and terrible business decisions by Crockett and Herd.
>Then the internet coming along which would exposed the business. Gatekeeping new guys and stomping outlaws would've kept kayfabe going moderately. The most exposing aspects would be shit like cards from a territory leaking and showing the same program rerunning town after town.
>Along with real cage fighting becoming a thing letting retards see what a real fight looks like. It almost seems like the territories would have to have nationalized just to be able to compete. They didn't have to for boxing. Shoots didn't put puro out of business in Japan.
>Vince taking the company national in the 80s was a Einstein level move in hindsight.No, it was him being a greedy asshole and wanting to put everyone out of business.
