Are WWE fans forgetting that they're not the ones in charge of RAW or any of their TV shows ?

It's not up to you to decide whether or not Roman Reigns, or Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Ronda Rousey (or whoever your favorite wrestlers are) gets a push. The WWE already has directors, producers and writers that handle it, there's people who control everything you see from the way the show looks, the music, the logos, commercial breaks and how much money is needed to keep it on the air. Plus the WWE also has sponsors with Make A Wish, breast cancer awareness, anti bullying campaigns and stuff for their younger audiences etc. I know most of you don't like it but it's what the WWE had to do to avoid the negative feedback they were getting from uptight parents who didn't like the adult oriented and raunchy programming from the late 90's and wanted it taken it off the air. It's not always about "What the fans want" .

No fans moans at WWE for Be a star or make a wish. Why would you? You can call WWE hypocritical with the B a star stuff. But you can't moan at the charity itself.

Yeah but that doesn't stop fans from being concerned over whether they enjoy the product or not. Why would the average fan give a shit about WWE pleasing its shareholders? It's up to WWE to balance their customers and shareholders. Its WWE's responsibility to keep all it's stakeholders happy, not the fans to put up with shit. You clearly don't know anything about business. I't 100% WWE's fault if they can't keep their own fans happy. Why you moaning at the fans, for expressing their veiws on the product?

The WWE should be listening to its fans & giving them what they want...
or at least finding a balance between their own "goals" & what the fans
want to see...

But...Hey...what the fuck would I know right?

I mean...I should just stop caring right?

I should not be invested in any of it right?

I should not get WORKED right?

I mean perhaps its good for business to keep pushing a guy who gets
booed out of the building every single night for 4 straight years?

Perhaps its good to push women who can't wrestle during a so-called
"Women's WRESTLING Revolution"?

Perhaps its good to rely on part timers & old has-beens instead of
pushing new talent?

Perhaps I'll just stop watching the WWE altogether?

Oh wait...I already have.

As far as I'm concerned the entire WWE creative team can go break
their collective necks as they try to orally please themselves.

And stop editing crowd chants & reactions you pricks! We're not
fucking dumb!

This is the stupidest thread ever. You are saying that fans should learn to like the taste of shit. Just because WWE have people in suits to please. Why should fans care about that?

Yeah you don't have to put up with it but I mean people like you who think they know how to run a business better than the people who actually do. Yes you should ask for what you want but that doesn't guarantee that you'll get it.

Sometimes you do because you're not always going to get what you want, there are too many people who don't like a lot the same things that you like. Just because I have a different way of looking at the situation, doesn't mean it's the worst thread ever simply because you don't agree with me and that's what the problem is. It's your failure to accept that everybody is different because you're only looking at this from your point of view.

That's not my point of view at all. My point of view is as a fan. The only stake I have with the WWE is that I am consuming and I expect a high quality product. If I don't get that I become unhappy and stop consuming the product. Your the one who is talking about how WWE is being run, not me. Where did I suggest that I could run a international billion dollar business? My point is WWE not being able to keep all their stakeholders happy is their problem. Don't expect the fans to happily accommodate WWE's bullshit. If you think they should then that's extremely unrealistic. The only priority WWE fans should have is if the product is worth consuming or not.

Not denying that at all, you can't always get what you want. I never suggested that wasn't the case at all. But suggesting that fans should just give WWE a free pass because they want to please sponsors is stupid. You also don't have a different way of seeing things. Your outlook is not unique or insightful at all. I understand your point of view perfectly and that's why I disagree with it.

Well it's the worst thread ever because that's my opinion lol... That's my point of view. My opinion is that the threads stupid.

I agree with viewing the product as a fan and not always being happy with the content that they produce but sometimes you have to accept how much effort goes into the creation of a product before you flat out criticize it. I'm not saying you can't have your own opinion about what you think is wrong with the WWE but be mindful of other people's opinions too because not everything is about you.

Well it's the worst thread ever because that's my opinion lol... That's my point of view. My opinion is that the threads stupid.
Yes I understand it's your opinion and you have the right to say how you feel, but I have my own opinions too.

Of course the fans aren't going to put up with the bullshit, I understand that that's why I said "I know most of you don't like it" but there are people out there who do like what you don't like and that was my point in my original post. I know the WWE does stupid shit but I understand why they do it.

Well, Taz laid down what he thought was the law regarding the fans' relationship to the wrestling industry back in ECW's prime days. He once said to the crowd after a match.

'You people pay to see ME! I don't pay to see YOU, so shut your fucking mouths!'

Is there any truth to this rather strong statement?

That's probably how those in charge think...

"Those idiots will accept whatever we give them!"

The only way the WWE will "change" is if the "fans"
stop watching & spending their money on the WWE's
piss poor, watered down, boring, characterless, 50/50
booked product.

But...hey...it doesn't matter what I say...

No opinion I have about wrestling matters...

I shouldn't care...

I shouldn't let myself get WORKED...

Think of it as a comedy right?

Fuck that...I'd rather watch an Ed Wood movie...
