Again? 😂 This will fail

Wwe will try anything....except pro wrestling.

The key will be how the WWE Superstars “feature”. If they compete (and lose) or dominate the show trash talking, I don’t think it will work. A reboot of the original with WWE Production values and some short Superstar cameos and they’ll have something.

Jayc4620 this reboot is long overdue.
