    The best players to gamble on are Cade Cunningham and Lamelo Ball. Their pop count is so much lower. Raw and graded are great price for now. It doesn't matter what Wembanyama does next season. It what Spurs does. Price will drop

    Prices for Wemby will even out but aren't going to drop but aren't going to drop like you think. Cade and Ball are nowhere near the best players to gamble on though.

    There’s 1 billion Victor prizm base cards in the wild, that why! Pop count is already 10k plus for psa10, literally 80% of Prizm submitted have gotten a 10 from PSA.

    As previously stated in the comments. 100% it's scripted, but don't take away from the wrestlers athletic talents. They still have to perform all those stunts in the ring. They don't have stunt doubles. Take that with a very real danger comes from what they do. Just watch the Undertaker and Mankind Hell in a Cell match. While the scripted part is Undertaker was supposed to win that match. Mankind going off the top of the cell into the announcer's table is very real. Also later in that same match, Mankind falling through the cell, which wasn't supposed to happen, and falling the the mat of the ring also was very real. Just keep this in mind when discussing wrestling. The whole fake thing does stem from the kayfabe era. It was fiercely guarded to a fault. If you were a face, you couldn't travel with a heel. Even if you were best friends. Kayfabe now while it exists, is more of a blurring of the lines of fantasy and reality. kind of like an exaggeration of reality.

    2023-2024 WWE started a new era without Vince and it has been on fire ever since, last year was up there with the attitude era. People who stopped watching are starting to come back, and A LOT of new fans. Production, story telling and talent has sky rocketed. Used to casually pay attention and not watch it but like know what’s going on but now I’m all in. Entertaining as fuck imo. Dont care if it’s fake. Nobody watches it for that lol it’s like a movie/tv show live every week

    I think that unfortunately your lack of familiarity with wrestling really impacts the value of the video. There's a lot of observations that seem to make sense on paper, but don't really translate into the dynamics of how the WWE is perceived. Vince's being ousted and the "new" allegations are both not extremely well known outside of people who follow wrestling, and in cases which it is known, it is typically not a disincentivizing factor in people checking out WWE for the first time. Either people knew Vince was a bastard even before the recent revelations, or people don't know who he is. If anything, Vince being gone has been a draw for lapsed fans and people who were otherwise uncomfortable with him (it's not like there weren't tons of allegations from back in the WWF era, dude literally helped Jimmy Snuka get away with murder). Wrestling being "fake" is also not something that was revealed in a way that can track to a decline in viewership. It has NEVER been an obstacle or reason why the WWE lost viewers, as people who watch even a single show were always aware of kayfabe before going in, with the exception of small kids who don't exactly control the market anyways. If your goal is to make a market analysis video, it's pointless to bring this up. I'd also argue that the shift to the PG era was less about the idea of general appeal hurting viewership, and more that Vince's booking, storylines, and lack of support for stars were all far more critical. On this point, you should have considered AEW, which destabilizes some of your points about the shift to a PG rating being a clear reason for WWE's loss of relevance. AEW has been relatively successful, but the appearance of more hardcore-oriented wrestling hasn't fundamentally shifted the WWE's market share. Of course AEW has to compete with brand loyalty, but it is clear that with the marked decline of AEW in the past year in comparison to WWE experiencing some of the most relevance in pop culture it's had since Cena went Hollywood off the back of good booking and storytelling proves that WWE can thrive in the modern day without drastic shifts in its product or mass market appeal. The attitude era and the dropoff from that was relatively inevitable, I'd say the was that the WWF/E at the time somehow touched a nerve in the market was miraculous, but to cast everything since as a continual decline is ignorant. The product is getting better and viewers are stable and in many cases returning.
