The Wrestling Thread Is At Home Until Further Notice - - Part 141

[The Apocalypse]

No one was blaming Rey anyway. They would have booed anyone in that 30 spot.

 

[sweetre15]

What the hell? I go for an hour long walk and then eat lunch and find out some anonymous asskissing wrestler is trying to dismiss the apathy towards WWE's BS as just being an Internet thing? THEN has the f___cking Audacity to tell fans not to be pissed and just to sit back and "enjoy". F___CK THAT SH___T!.

I laugh when these wrestlers try to treat their audience like they have no right to complain and should accept whatever craps Vince wants to feed us? GTFO with that BS?

When did it become cool to slap your consumers in the face? That's what I want to know. All this stuff is unraveling right before their eyes and they STILL want to be Class A Cocksockets about it!? Really!?

At this point, All I can say to these asskissers is that WHEN Wrestlemania 30 goes down in flames, they can kiss all the ass they want.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The WWE will say that Wrestlemania 30 will be one of the best ever. This is a fact.

Yeah and they'll probably hike up the prices for the PPV so they can spin it as the "Highest Grossest Mania" to cover up the fact that PPV buys decreased. Much like last year

they'd see a decrease in uys anyway thank to the network

 

[Dr. Evil]

No matter how hard the fans boo, the WWE will just ignore it.

Keep booing and all Vince McMahon is going to do is violently yell at everyone and threaten to punch everyone in the face.

With the new subscription based model of the WWE Network, I wonder how WWE will determine what draws and what doesnt. I mean if the subscription numbers are high and people are getting the PPVs with the subscription deal then Buyrates likely become a moot point. Right?

WWE will have analytics that show what people are watching and how long they watch it. Just like Netflix and YouTube.

However those Analytics will have an insane maniac watching them and yelling at them for no apparent reason.

Vince is going to be so pissed if a large amount of his audience likes things that he doesn't.

 

[Lobo]

I can't believe some wrestler would say just sit back and enjoy what we give you. **** that noise. If there's a product I'm a fan of and they start turning in a **** product I will not support their product until they make an effort to change for the better. case in point it is hard to be a Knicks fan. Last year was a pleasant surprise and this year they are sucking it up becasue we all know what wil happen at the end of this year.

Sit back and enjoy whatever we decide to give you is probably what they tell Christian, Ziggler, Snadow, Cody, Kofu and Wade etc. Probably told Punk the same so he told them sit back and watch me walking out the door.

 

[The Sage]

It's Batista. He's friends with Rey.

Thought the same.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I could see that wrestler being Dave Batista, also known as The "Marvel won't give it a second thought and replace him if he acts like that to the Marvel fans" guy.

Basically, Batista better treat the Marvel fans better than the WWE Universe. Kevin Feige would not be hesitant to replace him if he doesn't.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I just saw this tribute for CM Punk

so awesome, it made me tear up I wish the wwe would bring back those old tribute videos.

Man I'm gonna miss Punk, but he will go down as a true maverick.

Amen! The tired line of "like what we give you" is so insulting, it's not like they are giving it to us for free. Fans keep showing up and watching as we love wrestling and on most shows there's something to like, but at the same time while we cling to hope that there will be a change we have every right to voice displeasure at the crap they try to shovel at us, WWE are the only business I know where they think the customer is wrong.

What Punk did was unprofessional, but he had to do something extreme like this in order to get WWE's attention and try to get them to change things for better. He's been with the company for more than 7 years now putting out quality matches and making the company a lot of money. I think he's earned the right to main event WrestleMania and whatever else he feels may be owed to him.

 

[Wheels]

What are we supposed to do besides stop watching? People get crapped if they don't follow along with what WWE wants. They take signs and dismiss our opinions all the time. We've always wrong every time according to them.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Vince McMahon is god, so why does this surprise anyone?

He's god, which already makes him better than Kanye West.

agreed 100 %, its like Austin and Jericho said Wrestlers today have zero leverage against wrestling companies.

We could get together and write out the most in depth, well researched, rational, reasonable, eloquently phrased letter explaining all our criticisms, and the WWE would still disregard it as coming from "a bunch of marks on the Internet living in their parents basement."

As much as I feel bad for whomever happens to be in ring when the fans hijack the show, I cannot think of another way to get across to the people in charge, as well the people watching TV or whomever else is paying attention, that we are not satisfied with the product that we are paying for.

We could all boycott WWE all together, but I assume we still want to be able to support the guys on the roster we do like. And if the WWE decides to cut costs for whatever reason, it will probably be the ones we want to support getting the worst of it.

 

[Dr. Evil]

The WWE is probably 100% against unionization. Probably the only professional wrestler on the planet who is unionized is the part timer named Dwayne Johnson.

 

[Slushy]

and Gov. Jesse Ventura!

 

[Dr. Evil]

and Gov. Jesse Ventura!

What union is he a part of? With the Rock, that's fairly obvious as he is a member of the Screen Actors Guild (he'd have to be in order to be in major movies).

 

[Slushy]

He's in SAG as well. Its the only reason why he stopped pursuing a union for wrestlers.

 

[E-Man]

Unfortunately that is true. That's the reason why I stopped watching multiple times in the past 7 years. I simply wasn't feeling the product, so I gave up on it because it looked like it wouldn't get any better. The only way they'll start to care is if all the booing fans stop giving them their money. Ratings won't matter unless you have a Nielsen box, but you can't stop paying them money to buy any merchandise, pay per views, or the WWE Network. Otherwise they'll just laugh because they're still getting the disgruntled crowd's money that night. They're still getting their cut of the C.M. Punk or Bryan shirt that a pissed off fan buys. They would still have you on the hook for 6 months of the WWE Network, thus getting $60 from you to do whatever they like. It's all about using your dollars to send a message, and it looks like they need to hear it in droves. The company hasn't made nearly as much money as the Attitude Era days, but they're still getting enough to feel justified in disregarding their fans.
