the "you suck" Kurt Angle chant last night proved something very telling about the WWE audience...

They do know but they would rather force people into star roles. They're still trying to make Reigns happen.

:mjgrin: BE A STAR outside of the ring, be an a$$hole inside of it.

I see a lot of kids at the shows still. Kids dressed up like Cena or wearing New Day shirts or little girls dressed as Sasha and Bayley. WWE has the ability to draw in the younger viewer but they don't have the ability to KEEP THEM. Mainly because they push their own agendas.

That's the main problem. I admit, I have a sickness. I will probably always check for wrestling (though I have scaled way back). Most people won't. These kids will grow up and then say "hold up, this shyt fukking sucks :cousins: " and then they move on to something else.



I notice that happen Alot

No.

It proves that the adults can recruit the kids into anything if they are forceful enough, hence how booing Reigns became a "thing" now.

This is so TRUE. I remember being in 5th Grade (2007) and everybody was a WWE fan, fast forward 10 years later and mostly everyone I know stopped fukkin with it and the number one reason is that "It's not the same any more" or "It's boring" both of which are true statements. Another thing is that a lot of people are just not fukking with the current crop of wrestlers, that's why when guys like Goldberg and Taker comes back, the public interest in WWE goes up. WWE just hasn't been able to create that next star. They tried to do it with Roman but he will never get a good reaction.

shyt, I still watch RAW and even then I don't get that same feeling that I did back then. It's become more of a chore and I spend more time looking at the Raw thread than I do the actual show.

It's also very telling that most TSC posters were looking forward to the Angle HOF announcement than any of the current storylines :pachaha:

I know Cena is a huge star and all, but in 10 years if he returned after a long absence, is the hype gonna be crazy for him like Goldberg/Taker? Or that it was for Rock when he comes back?

I mean I don't know one guy at work who likes Cena (most men in their 20's, 30's), but they ALL love Berg/Taker. I like Cena and all but I never get excited for him and mark out the same way I do for Taker/Berg. Their entrances alone make me put my phone down, stop what I'm doing and watch; while Cena's just makes me go "du du du duuu" :russell:

I feel what you're sayin but also the truth is, if you're 21 now and you expect to feel the same way about wrestling as you did when you were 11... it ain't gonna happen no matter how good it is or isn't, breh. When I was 10, you couldn't pull me away from wrestling- this was during the Hogan/Savage/Warrior/Sting/Flair/etc. era. I watched every wrestling show that came on TV. 10 years later, the Monday Night Wars were poppin' but at 20 yrs old, I wasn't markin' out like when I was 10 and I believed everything... sometimes I think older wrestling fans are forever chasing somethin' they're never gonna catch, and that plays a big part of why they're less able to enjoy that shyt. Hell, if you liked it in 2007, you should LOVE it in comparison cause '07 was packed with trash. :pachaha:

I tried to go back and watch some 07 stuff on the Network and I couldn't get through most of it, can't believe I watched that trash every week :mjlol: Only bright spots was the HBK/Cena and Batista/Taker feuds
