I've been thinking about all the hotshot angles Vince has done to generate publicity: Money giveaways, house giveaways (remember the first In Your House? ROFLMAO!) necrophilia angles, suicide, drug addiction, incest, homosexuality and gay marriages, murde, magic, voodooo, fire, gun play, vehicular assault, faking death, raping the legacy of Eddie (RIP), crucifixion, a parade of sleazy bimbos in a "Diva Search," sex addiction, gang wars, the Japanese mafia, the botched "Invasion," boss vs. workin' joe (was greatness the first time with Vince vs. Stone Cold, but after it became a formula for every wrestler's ascention into the main event, it has long since become gratingly overdone). There's probably more but this is enough to make me sit here and think about just how STUPID this stuff has been the last few years. All that effort to get out of showing us actual WRESTLING. There are very few stones left uncovered for stupid angles. Maybe bestiliaty will be his next big brainchild for getting viewers to come back. To me, it's at the point that if I'm channel surfing on a Monday, I'll catch a couple minutes of RAW, roll my eyes as I watch Vince calling someone's house and realize that this is their idea for EXCITING WRESTLING ACTION.
Hey, WWE, if you read this, looking for a reason to bitch about the internet: I want WRESTLING. Not your homogenized, everybody-wrestles-the-same WWE style that you insist your workers use (because, for one thing, I'm watching the same matches I saw ten years ago, just with different faces and secondly, MMA exposes WWE style as ridiculously unrealistic), but good, exciting, WRESTLING. Maybe you dismiss our views because we express over the internet what we would like to see, but we've been calling for more wrestling for years, and your ratings have steadily declined for years. Think about it. How hard is it to see the correlation?
Storylines? Yeah, okay. They're great, but they don't have to be about a guy getting his penis chopped off, or million dollar giveaways. Sometimes, there are good ones, and you do get better about them, namely, in my opinion, the interaction between guys like Cena, Triple H, Orton, Michaels and Jericho. That's good stuff. And there's good wrestling. But it doesn't have to be about a few guys doing the same things every week. Stories? Okay. Just stop insulting your viewers. And remember, it's about good wrestling.
