A Question From The Franchise: What If...?

[The Franchise]

I wonder if Jimmy knows about us themers....?

Think about it.... WWE isnt stupid. Im sure the company has people who read the internet rumors and dirt sheets, and im sure they know about themes being something fans collect. Imagin if a WWE employee was an actual member of this forum? Or a member on another Theme forum?

My question is this... If WWE/TNA/Any wrestling promotion knows about theme forums, why wouldnt they try to capitalize on making more money for themselves by releasing themes like artists release songs?

Is it because now a days, most themes are production music, not created by WWE/Jimmy? Are they just to lazy? Im not trying to be a mark or anything, but 90% of my iTunes library consists of themes.

Weather its WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, FCW, New Japan etc, Im a collector. As a kid, i used to take my tape recorder and record the entrances to my cassettes, then pretend I was the guy coming out. I can remember marking my cassettes "SummerSlam 1992" and it would have the entrances and victorys of all the matches.

Times have changed, and now everything is available online. See a match on youtube, and download it right from there. Boom! your done! With the technology being so advanced now, as it wasnt back in the days of Audio Cassettes, You would think more would ba available to the viewing public.

We see artists open Myspaces and Facebooks, to help promote their music and upcomming CDs... But why cant a wrestling company do the same? Even if we had to pay for a song to download it, its still worth being able to hear it and for it be available for a low price (maybe $2.99 per song or something like what WWE is doing for Vol. 10 and what TNA did for Emergance).

It would be a huge help to us collectors, aswell as a huge profit that the company could make off of it.

... Or am I just rambling on? Any thoughts?

that would be an awesome idea

[peteroshea90]

Nah, not really a good idea. There is a reason why the WWE and wrestling companies dont do it, and its because they WON'T make the money. You get one person who goes on there, downloads the stuff and provides it to the rest of us on the internet free of charge, which means 75% wont download from the original source (whether it be WWE.com, TNAWrestling or iTunes).

good point

[peteroshea90]

Its just the progression of the internet and technology. I'd say if it was the same as 10 years ago, then yeah, release shit loads onto two and three CD sets every year and charge $40-$50 per set.
I'm apologise if I sounded like I shot down your idea straight away, I didn't mean to. Your idea in theory was a very good one, I've always thought to myself the WWE should release more music, but it's how its done and how much money they would make being the major problem.
