 What's good Josh boros back again with another video, so we're gonna check out ten catastrophic flops in WWE. Well This is the thing that it tends to happen from time to time sometimes things get pitched in the Board meetings or in the storyboard meetings like what we're gonna do this We're gonna do this I think this is gonna be good and then when it actually happens It's a complete failure and that's sometimes the risk of entertainment some things you may think Sounds good on paper, and then you actually put it in the practice doesn't really work out So we're gonna check out some of these moments Where I'm sure Vince thought oh this would be great, and then it just turned out to be fucking awful No, I didn't didn't really plan out like they expected it, but I appreciate all love and support Let's do this thing keeping WWE fresh and current is new and innovative ideas throughout WWE history Oh not a not a general manager flopped either from a creative or financial perspective WWE management fully expected these ideas to be extremely successful But they weren't and WWE prefers that these colors all in the ground Yeah, oh we're obviously gonna mention them So join us now as we look at ten other biggest flops in WWE history Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive lists Also, check out wrestling video code UK and an un-wrestling channel incredible number 10 NXT kids a due to the immense popularity of the black-and-gold brand We decided to launch a spin-off show for NXT NXT kids would be a show aimed at a much younger demographic It would feature matches, but predominantly focus on fun segments such as WWE trivia and kid-friendly humor The show would even feature literal children on commentary with Corey Graves Which could have been a unique way to appeal to the target audience But only one episode of the show was filmed and this was never even supposed to air But someone in WWE leaked the show so Is in circulation That's rather rare for WWE to scrap a show just after one episode Damn Traditionally prefer to give things a couple of months before scrapping them all together I did not know that was a thing It was clear that Vince McMahon wasn't liking what the NXT team offered and subsequently decided to scrap the concept completely Number nine Indian expansion 2017 WWE shocked the world when they decided to make Jinder Mahal WWE champion Mahal was WWE's resident jobber So naturally it took fans by surprise that Mahal was now at the top of the WWE ladder The reason for making him champion was that they wanted to expand in India and Vince McMahon was of the belief that if Mahal was champion they would have much more financial success WWE planned on having a super show take place in India on December 2017 But they decided to take the title of Mahal one month before the show This was backwards thinking from a business perspective as fans had already survived months of his lackless terrain And they could have easily put up with it for another month Yeah, the super show in question would be made evented by Mahal in a huge match for him against Triple H But in typical WWE fashion, this was a match which Mahal lost Reports from the show indicated that the attendance was around 70% which was significantly lower than the prior year Experiment had ultimately been a huge failure And what WWE aimed to achieve was handled completely wrong and was delivered with naivety and spontaneity Number eight, yeah, they they really messed up when it came to putting the title on him If you're gonna try to tap into that market It gotta make sense. They we we know why they did it You know I'm saying it wasn't for genuine like I guess you can say representation in my in my opinion. We it was for the bottom dollar and ultimately it didn't work out That was some of the that was a rough period for Smackdown. Oh brother stand up for WWE In 2010 WWE launched one of the most unusual PR campaigns ever the stand up for WWE campaign was focused on WWE ordering fans to stand up for WWE when they were attacked by the media Former chairman Vince McMahon would even release a video message where he stated the nearly 600 full-time WWE employees as well as its 140 superstars all work for one reason to put smiles on people's faces The inaccurate media reports about our company are not only injustice, but an insult to our millions of fans worldwide The WWE pushed this heavily. They got every single wrestler involved in promoting the campaign And they would even produce an infographic detailing how fans can support the company This PR sounds about right for locked showed how desperate WWE were Scrapped after a few short months with no explanation Sound about right the junior division a WWE introducing new elements to raw and Smackdown is always welcomed as keeps the show exciting This was seen in 2005 when the WWE introduced the junior division to the Smackdown product It was said to feature major names such as poor London Brian Kendrick, Billy Kidman and Jamie Noble Fans are excited for the concept But when Johnny ace was put in charge of hiring new talents for the division He made a huge blunder for whatever reason he decided to hire exclusively midget wrestlers and WWE had no choice but to present the division when these hired midget wrestlers featured Wow, the idea though was a huge failure and the division would be scrapped completely within just like a joke Launching in 2002 WWE Studios had been around for the past two decades and for the most part the movies that WWE had produced had been commercial and critical Bombs Of course, there had been some successes. WWE Studios had a rotten reputation for putting out the worst of the worst 2014 WWE's financial records offered a frightening insight into the WWE's movie division It was reported they had lost 35 million dollars with WWE Studios, which makes it one of their worst financial losses ever In recent years, they've drastically altered their approach for WWE studios Their output is heavily reduced and they only work on projects when they know they can make a return It took years for WWE to realize that this was the approach needed and it was simply a project that Real things used to give up on number five I don't even think I may have seen the the one movie with stone cold in it I think I've seen that one, but everything else and even in that wouldn't really I could WWE produced movies Never they just they just don't hit bro. Because not everybody's meant to be an actor. You can clearly see it's just there wrestler playing an actor Or playing a character. It's not it's like the whole kogan when he was in movies. Like it's just whole kogan playing a character like It didn't work new york It's usually unbelievable success at wwe during the attitude era Open a restaurant in time square new york simply known as wwf new york The complex wwe rented for the restaurant featured a retail store a nightclub and a viewing area Which would show every single wwe pay-per-view While the idea on paper sounded great the idea was incredibly expensive to run and operate And wwe ran the complex later renamed the world at a loss for years In 2003 lindenbuck man announced that the wwe themed venture would be closing She would claim that this was so wwe could focus on other avenues But in reality it was because the venture lost wwe over 20 million dollars. Damn Roar dark a wwe's flagship show monday night raw has been on the air for almost three decades And in that time there have been some ideas implemented on screen that they would like fans to forget On the 20th may 2019 edition of raw mick foley came down to the ring to make two announcements The first announcement was that the introduction of the infamous 24 seven title and oh brother that shit stinks Oh my god. I'm so glad that that belt is dead and gone. Thank you Second was a drastic change to the third hour of raw A foley would implant that the third hour of raw would be much darker and crucian moving forward I remember that excited fans and it was a struggle which could have led to laps fans coming back to the product However, all wwe did was dim the lights for the third hour Fans felt insulted that this was wwe's plan as nothing had remotely changed The idea lasted just two weeks before it was never alluded to again Yeah, we're gonna go dark. We're gonna dim down the lights. It's gonna be more edgy. No, it was still the same Brand return a landscape of 2002 and wwe was altered forever when they introduced the brand split During this time wwe specifically vince muck man made the brave and bold call to bring back vince russo Russo was lead writer during key parts of the atodera But his reputation following his disastrous run in wcw wasn't exactly the best Yeah, russo came in with a ton of new ideas and most of them were absolutely horrendous Russo wanted to strip the undertaker of the wwe title for no reason and he wanted to bring back dx Even though wwe were planting the seeds of triple h and rick flair joining forces to create evolution Wow, it took just a matter of weeks before muck man realized the error of his ways According to former head writer of wwe brian gowitt muck man personally apologized to him for bringing russo back Which was a rare instance of muck man addressing a direct failure number two wwe virtual reality The idea of wwe using vr technology for their programming is an exciting concept In 2018 they began to put together plans to execute this idea during live paper views The first time vr would be available for fans was during the summer in 35 At wwe were reluctant to make a big deal out of the technology being available And this led to fans speculating that vids muck man didn't understand what the wwe were even offering Following wrestlemania 35. The idea would be put on hold for undisclosed reasons. I did not know that Until survivor series 2019 This would mark the last time to date that wwe would use the technology for a wwe event And it was never made clear why didn't I know that they had This that's crazy reasons the cost of implementing vr online programming is very costly Yeah, yeah turns on this investment may have forced wwe to abandon the potentially game changing project And number one john senor nft Always wwe wanted to make money off john senors 2021 in ring return was with nfts Wow, I didn't know this either so much so that senor himself had to address what went wrong Discussing the nft saga during an appearance up florida comic con senor revealed Wwe wanted to put together a once in a lifetime fan experience. This kit is not just a kit It's the belt the clothing an autograph picture an autograph canvas picture and an nft When it came up with the face value for what it cost it came up to around $500 to $600 retail value and then threw in the value of the nft I talk a lot about failure this idea failed Why is it $1,000 because myself and the folks at wwe thought $1,000 was a fair price point We were wrong. We were absolutely wrong. This shirt is number zero 500 I thought with a value like that the 500 will be gone. We sold 37 of them. Damn It was a catastrophic failure. Damn all my stuff. I was super proud of this. I love the design It's one of those instances where I put my heart and soul and did the design and was really close to the work And pieces and market research. Yes, it seems fair. I think it'll be good. It sucked It absolutely failed. I took a chance and missed. I'm sorry because it's obvious that people like the design But it's way too much Damn, bro. They only told so 37 Hey, that may be a cool shirt, but I ain't paying for a thousand for that shit That's crazy, man. At least john was able to be like, yeah, yeah, um, we just messed up there That it didn't didn't work out like we planned on man But yeah, man, this this was an interesting video. There was a lot of these things I didn't even know there was a vr Version where you could watch the pay-per-views on the vr headset did not even know that was the thing It could be cool and concept, but they would really have to really buy into that I know a lot of people do have vr headsets and stuff like that So I don't know if they really bought into it and really cared about it Like wanted to spend the money on it possibly that could be a new way to experience wrestling pay-per-view events But yeah, man, that was this was an interesting video comment down below Let me know which one of these flops did you not do you guys remember? Like when they actually introduced it on television and then you remember when it just disappeared I do remember the the raw dark and then all of a sudden, you know saying it just They did for two weeks and then that was it or if you guys remember raw underground when they had this little underground I guess Battle pit or whatever. It's like fight club or whatever, but that didn't last that long. Yeah WW's done some things where it Sound good on paper and then they just kind of throw it away But I appreciate all of them support you guys shown on channel row two 100k appreciate y'all kicking me see y'all next one. Peace
