I don't understand this argument anymore.

If they changed things up and turned things around for the company, wouldn't the shareholders be happy if stock rose as a result? This method they're currently using isn't working. I think they'd be okay with a change.

You're right but those shareholders, the guys who sit on a board, etc are probably more interested in ad revenue than a good product. Not everyone on a board is a creative person, they only see the bottom line and if the bottom line still looks good to them, and the ad revenue increases and the amount of channels to access the product continue to multiply in order to multiply that ad revenue, that's all they care about. The fact that a better product would lift all of those boats is probably a miss to them especially since I'm willing to bet that a lot of those cats don't even watch.

At the most im sure shareholders can say "push this guy, or market this guy that way" creative direction/story is Vince and the creative team and he's simply complacent, scared for his life that someone will wanna leave for Hollywood or something else

If he was smart he'd want to create someone that hollywood wants because that means the product is insanely over. Their last bit of resonance outside of us was Punk. And they botched the hell out of that on a number of fronts. All for what? Then the whole shyt with Bryan...and now who do they have?

The wwe wasn't a public company back then and Vince was willing to try anything because wcw had their foot on the wwe`s throat at the time.

They don't have to fight for survival nowadays so Vince don't care whether or not he gives you sh!t or gold because he has that choice now where as back then he had to try new things because the survival of the company depended on it.

A probable genius out here looking like Jeffery Lebowski's crackhead little brother :snoop:. Before working to fix shyt, fix your teeth. You write books and tour the world for a living. Look like you don't smell like ass for a change :ufdup::bryan: (yeah, him too). Then, maybe, people will take you more seriously.

Good points though, but no one's listening to a neckbeard god.
