Pro wrestling 2001-2011

How the industry has changed in the past 10 years

Hi this is my first article on rj. It'll be short and have no pics I'm sorry for that.

Pro wrestling has severely changed over the past 10 years hasn't it? That change has almost put it on life support.

To fully understand let's take you to April 2001 WCW and ECW had closed their doors and the WWF had taken 100 percent of the market. Out of the ashes would rise 2 new promotions TNA and ROH both trying to fill the WCW and ECW void. TNA offered high flying fast paced action while ROH offered technical wrestling both offereing an alternative to the WWF. The two companies wouldn't gain ground until a few years in the future. Now let's take you to 2007 WWE was still the top dog but TNA was starting to gain ground mainly with the signing of sting and Christian and ROH was still looking for a break. The Benoit tragedy shook the wrestling world an ended the WWE's ruthless aggression era and started the PG era. Fast foward 3 years and TNA signed more well known talent like hulk hogan and Eric bischoff. They also alienated home grown talent for ex WWERs and went more traditional. Because of this TNA put the belt on Jeff Hardy thinking he could carry the company but controversy ensued at victory road 11 as a drunk hardy tried to wrestle and his main event match lasted 30 seconds.

And now we get to today. Creativly wrestling isn't as intresting the feuds are stale and storylines repeative. But were on the verge of a another competitor to the WWE. Will it TNA or ROH??? Only time will tell... But remember compition creates creativity and creativty creates intrest and intrest creates cash.

Where are the wrestlers? The Shows? The Stations? It's not deep enough!

And you can save your articles when you don't have time on here and return to them when you can. Don't be afraid to do this.

i could write your whole "article" on one page of a notebook. seriously, no effort was put into this. no paragraphs, no pictures, and most importantly, no length went into this. i could write an article on this same subject that's about 4x the length that you wrote it, and it could be successful. if you want to learn how to write an article properly, look at the articles on the front page. that should make it all the more simple for you

This is terrible. You assume people know what you're talking about, but we don't. As someone who doesn't follow wrestling, I have no idea what you're talking about at all, and you don't do anything to clarify it.

Let me give you an example:
This article fails because IFS, and also YDIP. Fast forward to the end where YBATC and I conclude TAITFS. (See what it feels like?)

Also, by the end it ends up being a whine about how things are "different" now. We see thousands of these articles, usually focused on cartoons or Nickelodeon, where people bitch and moan about how things aren't the same as when they were kids. Too bad. Get over it. Things change.

Just b/c its your first article doesn't mean that you should be lazy and not write very much and not include pictures. If you want this to stay out on the home screen where people will actually read it then take some time. If you don't have much to say, then wait, think on the topic more, study it more, etc... and then put some time into a decent article. Check out Knite's article On Writing. Personally I think anyone who is going to do an article should have to read it first.
