Wow...a lot of so called debate on here lately. I usually like coming in here and seeing what people are saying. Hell I'm really only a passing fan but I have to say looks like some lines are being drawn.
I find it rather funny actually it's like coming in here and seeing it's a wrestling match written out in front of me. You've got the Hunter Rider et al on one side and Carp Man on the other.
Not that anyone cares but here's my two cents. Last Sunrise and Carp Man I really don't see anyone on here touting Vince as the be all end all. Almost everyone admits that he's made mistakes and is making mistakes. I think most just think that he should get credit where credit is due. He's the one who really brought wrestling up to another degree. I haven't seen anyone saying that the product is perfect as is.
I don't even think that bringing in a new faction would work right now. I mean yeah it worked for WCW but I think it would be a harder sell now. For one thing with NWO weren't a lot of those guys acting as enemies when they were with WWE? Bringing 'em in a letting people see them as taking over I could see why people would want to watch that. But consider this WCW was on top for what 84 weeks but WWE was on top for how long before and after that?
I think the problem is that Vince thinks that he can get away with anything he wants and people will watch. THere's no competition in wrestling anymore that was worked with WCW vs WWE. TNA isn't close to be able to compete with the WWE right now, hell even i think it's pretty much garbage.
Like all businesses wrestling needs to evolve sometimes it just takes time to find what is going to work. I agree that Vince is on TV too much, that they should be pushing some of the "younger" guys, Cena has been pushed too much and forced on everyone. But remember VInce will always bow to the fans eventually, ratings faded and he came back and people watched so of course he's going to come out more if he thinks it'll get ratings up.
As for the whole Bret thing, as much as I liked the guy and respect him he is a baby for harping on it for so long, and so is Vince. But then Canadians seem to keep it in their minds to and so Vince will play to it. Yes HBK is a jerk for doing what he did and acting the way he did, but Bret really needs to let it go. It happened what 10 years ago? Time to move on, I think he has in some ways but going to the HOF ceremony and saying he would leave if he saw HBK that's just lame. You know what you're there for the fans because they wanted it because people respected what you did enough to want you there get over yourself.
Again just my 2 cents and the way I see things. I shall leave now and go back to lurking and enjoying the "debates" the little shots you guys make at one another and of course the diva pics.
