Yeah that part took awhile to figure out. It still has some moments when i'm wondering why i'm watching this but overall much better.

The show just has a general feel of pessimism about it, never seen the IWC this angry about wrestling. But you're right, when you sit back and look at the product... Punk's a boss, we finally have a new main eventer in Ryback, a fresh character in face Miz, a tag division revamp, a pretty good storyline for the Divas, a big storyline getting us wanting to watch every week, an affair angle if you're into that kind of stuff, more emphasis on smaller guys... There's plenty of great stuff going on, but not enough to adequately fill a PPV card and especially not a 3 hour Raw every week.

Add to the fact that the IWC is an aggressive beast constantly looking for something to complain about so as to justify it's existence and the fact that it in general lacks patience and wants everything "NOW!" and you also see that some of the hate it spews is unjustified. Not all of it but some.

I believe you're confusing optimism with 'a' direction

WWE, since the attitude era ended has alternated between 'a' direction and no direction at all

At its core (aside from the AE), believes in the 'jerk-heel with the babyface overcoming in the end' direction.... its beyond ancient

This 'invasion' will end the same way, just like the Nexus did and Evolution did and the WCW invasion before all that.

Yeah, overall I say they're doing OK and if they continue on this direction then good.

As i said an Stop mentioned overall its not been bad they just suffered hugely with RAW goin three hours at first. But they've realised that random tag crap was boring an revamped that area which hugely helps on a three hour show with tag feuds developing. Now we just need cruiserweight back an all will be good.

Ziggler slowly being pushed to the ME will push WWE as well imo.

A lot of Ziggler haters/fans are out there to love or hate him. So heat and pops mixed will do the trick if done right.
I hope they will let him talk way more often, just look at ME vs Miz. Perfect.

Yes, they are slowly moving in a good direction.

As I mentioned in another thread, WWE is in a period of transition, but I see a lot of clues that suggest there is a place for optimism among the hardcore fanbase.

Agreed. Transition towards HHH, who so far has been hit and miss for me, but at least he's hitting. Vince is so far from hitting anything.

Only thing Vince is hitting is Linda. :maybe:

HHH in charge gives a lot of positivity and will provide a good future for WWE imo.
