I am almost reminded of the feud between Sgt Slaughter and Hulk Hogan leading to Wrestlemania 7. WWF thought creating an extremely negative situation would result in talk, which would result in ticket sales, which would result in money.

Although it wasn't as easy to communicate back then, there were threats of violence and death toward Sgt Slaughter for siding with Iraq. This resulted in WWF switching Wrestlemania to a smaller venue and they actually lost money and ticket sales.

A very different plot, but my point being that you can only push so much negativity on people before a small number of them can't take it and start acting out. You piss some people off, even over what seems like can be a trivial thing and they react primatively and stupidly.

I actually didn't mind the Iraq sympathizer thing at the time. The current subversion of fan expectations after years of build up pisses me off to no end. I, of course, know it's just a show and not something to get violent about. However, the dumbass people who take it way too seriously... I can only imagine how angry they are.

Even as a psychologist, I sometimes just don't get people.

We were told to let it play out last year and now it looks like we’re getting fucked over again, so I’m done letting it play out.

You don’t have Cody Rhodes introduce the rock and say that while he wants to face Roman reigns, he’s not doing it at wrestlemania. If the intention was at that point of time it aired was for Roman and rock to be the only match that was taking place at wrestlemania. If Cody and Roman happens now it’ll be because of the backlash not because of a plan that they had ahead of time.

This sort of supports what I said. I have always seen you as very easygoing and never as upset as you have been since all this started.

So, imagine what the people who are usually angry people are like...

I am sort of in the middle. Certain things I get super angry about and other things I can be totally MEH. But I do love a good rant.

And if it’s a work, all they did was make Cody look like an idiot and make people dislike The Rock.

The live crowds did not disappoint. It has reached all levels. :proud

The look on Cody’s face says it all.

Since Drew took Punk out, real and kayfabe, he should be the match with Seth. 100%. Keep Cody out of it.

I actually think it should go this way, but I mean the fact he gave his shot to Rock is totes why … thought he could step in.

I’m hoping this means WWE learned quicker than usual.
