Why Did WWE Stans Wait Until Now To Revolt Against The Product?

[Rell84shots]

There's no revolt, the moment it was announced that Heyman and Bischoff were back it went fromtoreal quick. Factor in the report that they're finally moving away from the PG bullshyt and it's a wrap for the NWG kliq.

Like any love/hate relationship, people only leave when they have options

This. AEW looks like a viable alternative that is more convenient to access than NJPW or ROH.

It counts, but there’s something about watching a show with a high budget weekly TV show vs some internet sh1t with 400 fans in attendance, regardless of how fast paced the match is.

There’s been a bunch of indies putting on stiff matches with nonstop action and a million finisher kickouts for 15 years now. Just wrestling, who’s the best competitor in our great sport brother, has gotten boring. And WWE has mostly adopted that now and it sucks.

hell, that makes it even better, when you know that you were there from the early days & watched the company grow.

being an O.G. fans of promotions like ECW, TNA, watching ROH & even the CZWs blossom into what they became is prolly the best feeling you can get as a wrestling fan.

and yall act like the WWE wasn't doing shows in small venues at one point.

At least even when it was horrible back in the day you at least had the cenas and punks.

We literally get months of Corbin and ziggler

Easy to revolt

cena was one of the main reasons why I stopped watching.

they wanted him to be Hogan/rock/warrior/Austin so bad

Just basically stopped watching. Never made a conscious decision not to but I just can’t be arsed most nights to sit through 3 hours of pish and when I do decide to watch these days I’m usually done inside an hour.

Don’t know why I’m doing it now, it’s been this shyte before but I’m just sick of it at this point.

I almost checked out of the thread when I saw 'best year in over a decade'... but I stuck around to read thru it, so it's like this:

This is definitely not the best year they've had this decade. I can rock with most of '12, '13, and '14 a lot harder than what we've been seeing especially in these post-Mania months.

Ziggler main-eventing (at this point in time), the most Shane McMahon we've seen in like 20 years, these boring PPVs, a Baron Corbin main event push, Lars Sullivan... yeah, all of these things have really dragged down the quality of this shyt as of late. It actually feels like since last summer, (with the exception of Becky Lynch, the Bryan heel turn, and Kofimania) it's the most dry it's been since like 2007.

That "they dont remember what happened last week" Vince trope is actually somewhat true. Cause I can't tell you shyt that happened a month ago that I give a damn about on either show. I'm interested because they've added Heyman and Bischoff and we did in fact get two good eps this week. But time will tell, and shyt's been bad.

Wwe hasn’t been good since 2005 Bruh. Not saying they haven’t done good things here and there but let’s not kid ourselves. It’s been fifteen years

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

After Bryan fukked his neck up I was all but done..

Nowadays I'd rather watch reruns of Guys grocery games than Raw

I mean they've been losing their audience since 2002.

They've been losing their audience since, literally, the Raw after WM 17.


The brief uptick at the start of the Cena Era was the last time they appreciably gained in audience since 2001, but that was after losing 30% of the audience. They've never hit a rating as high as the go home Raw before WM 17 again.
