I have to agree with the OP about the state of current WWE programming being the shits. Like him Im a wrestling fan first and foremost. Im not gonna praise shit tho. I grew up watching wrestling and have been a fan close to 20 years now. I fell inlove with the biz by watching the WWF and ive followed it and watched it grow and evolve through the years. And trust me when I say the current state of it is kinda pathetic compared to what it used to be. But hey thats just the way it is these days and yes you can blame the E for it cuz it was Mcmahon that caused it. He basically ended up raping the biz we fell inlove with and turned it into what alot of us fans criticize today, and it was all in the name of money. WWE has been successful throughout the years IMO mostly because it has had the bigger stage to showcase alot of ideas smaller promotions developed. Buying out all the major comp was the biggest mistake Vinny ever made and we as fans are paying for it and so will his empire eventually.
