Ya I know ppl do those dress up things but dang she was spot on for real except maybe a tad shorter
Truly, he’s my least favorite person in wrestling.
Apparently WWE was over the moon with the Brunson segment.
Obviously it went over great in the arena, but I wonder how the segment played out at home for people who aren’t Knicks/Brunson fans. Especially people who don’t watch the NBA.

You gotta try pretty hard to turn that last segment into a negative for WWE. It was for MSG weeks after the Knicks won and their MVP is a huge WWE fan. Like it or not, WWE is a business and one of their goals is to continue to grow and continue to stay mainstream. They've loved celeb involvement since the 80s so let's not pretend this is something that began with TKO. Those first few Mania's were littered with celebs and the Austin Era begin with the help of Mike Tyson. Alvarez didn't like it because it's his job to watch every second of every show every week so he saw it as a waste of time...while also admitting it worked in the arena with the 15,000 fans. So it worked...but he's saying it sucked. I don't know why he brought AEW up either. They've never been in MSG and they've already tried bringing in celebs as well.
It's. A. Business. Before the WC happened, Reigns and Brunson were front and center on ESPN's app. Please Alvarez, I'm begging you to tell Triple H and TKO how that's a horrible look for business lol. Please.

I never said he was spot on or sucked. I’m just wondering how it went over with people who don’t care about the Knicks, the NBA, or Brunson. It was an effective spot if the intent of it was to get on ESPN. As with any celebrity involvement spot in anything, I question what it accomplishes in selling tickets and getting people to watch the shows though.Dragon when Alvarez criticizes wwe “he’s spot on wwe sucks”

Like who decided to watch AEW on a regular or semi-regular basis or buy a ticket because Giannis appeared on it one week a few years ago, for example? How many fans of the Costco Guys decided to buy a ticket or start watching AEw because they wrestled/appeared on a PPV preshow? How many people kept watching or buying tickets to AEW because Shaq had a match?

The only problem with this level of celebrity involvement is that it’s booking for the people in the arena instead of the people at home. Basically, it’s house show style booking.
