This is a good thing, not a bad thing
WWE tries to forcefeed its fans what it thinks is best for business ie Sheamus toppling Bryan, in an 18 second match I might add. Dont forget Cm Punk's run from summer fizzling out like a dud firecracker. And ofcourse having Ryder in a wheelchair acting in a supporting role to Cena when Zakk was just getting going. Did anyone enjoy the Flo Rider and Heath Slater confrontation at WM? Anyone? Or WWE using Ziggler as an enhancement character after having him drop the US title; I could go on.
The commentary and the talent is so scripted in most cases and it often seems to go against what fans want. I dont just mean the IWC either; ask any WWE fan and their opinion on the 18 second debacle and they will tell you it was a waste of a potentially awesome Wrestlemania opener.
Forcing a bland Sheamus who's connection with the audience relies on being slightly menacing whilst saying 'fella' a lot in a passive agressive manner does not constitute world championship material. Its good to see fans REACTING to this for once and not cheering and booing when the wrestlers cue you too. The fans at tonights Raw were vocal in their opinions and it might not have been what certain wrestlers or what Vince wanted to hear, but they need to start listening.
Kudo's to WWE for taking chances on the Zigglers, the Punks, the Ryders and Rhodes and so on. But they never properly pull that trigger do they? Punk nearly had it. The scales of wrestling justice leaned slightly in our favour if only for one brilliant moment at MITB.
Listen to your audience Vince.
