Ok. Sidious, about 3700 people signed the petition. Is that supposed to represent any sort of a majority? That is a very miniscule number to them. It actually means that many MORE didn't want to sign the petition. It doesn't prove much at all, except for the fact that 3,700 people out of a much larger number disagree with your opinion or are completely apathetic about it. You know why? Because it's five minutes of a free show where they can just change the god damn channel. They don't want to take the time to make a petition defending the angle because get this...there is a lot more worthwhile shit in this world that people chould be becoming pro-active instead of what midget does on TV.
I'm not a blind loyalist and neither was Industry. Maybe, just maybe, we enjoy the product as is. Doesn't mean that improvements can't be made. I've voiced my disdain about some of the booking about Raw over their quite a few times. I've voiced my dislike of Randy Orton's incredibly ass-backwards booked title reign numerous times. I really think they need to Gerwitz out of the Raw Creative Department. I'm not a blind loyalist at all. I just don't think there's anything wrong with a five minute, inconsequential, meaningless joke angle for the kids. I turn it off and watch a bit of MLB, NBA, NFL, etc and turn it back on in five minutes or so when it's over. No need to make a big deal about it.
You've never demanded that Hornswoggle be thrown off the air. No. But in the Raw thread, you wanted Chavo to kill him when he interfered in the match. Then you said that you had no problem with Hornswoggle interfering as long as it wasn't another straight one on one gimmick match with Chavo and The Swog.
If you want creativity watch Smackdown. I know you're against this but Raw is being watered down since the PG era began and there dumbing things down so that kids can follow along. It's not gonna change, Sid. Get all the petitions going you want. In the long run, it's really not going to change until their target demographic gets older and they try to retain these young fans.
Cash,
I already thought I told you that I am going to do what I want to do. Why? Because I can. There isn't anything you can say that will make me change my mind with this issue. So, quite frankly, you are wasting your time.
And the fact of the matter is that you already know this. So then, I have to ask why you even bother posting something like that, after I already told you that I am not budging on this. Well, the answer is clearly because you want to argue with me for the sake of doing so, as opposed to actually having a meaningful conversation.
Are you telling me that every single WWE fan out there was aware of a petition to get the matches between Hornswoggle and Chavo thrown off the air? I bet if more fans knew about it, there would be a Hell of a lot more signatures then what we already have. If fans do not read the newsboards daily or if they don't participate on forums, chances are they aren't going to even know that this thing even exists.
WWE is obviously aware of that fact. But to bring 3,700 people together who WERE aware of this, is a fete in its own right. As I stated, I wanted 5,000 and I'm not going to get it unfortunately.
But you are missing the entire point. The point of the petition was to bring people together who were under the same mindset that they too are bored and fed up with the same match done every single week on Raw. I can only assume that you are a Hornswoggle fan since you are so adamant about arguing this with me. Hey, I guess Hornswoggle can appeal to the little kids and the big kids, too.
But the purpose of the petition, was to attract negative attention towards the angle, and bring people together who were fed up with the angle ... and to help make this an issue with people to get them to focus on doing something about it, other than bitching about it on forums. That was my decision, and the decision of every person who signed it. You bring people together, and you have a much better chance of allowing your voice be heard then if I simply sent WWE some negative feedback on my own. I obviously knew that doing something like this was going to pack a bigger punch as opposed to one lonely voice. Why I have to even bother explaining elementary stuff like this to you is really beyond me. I dare say 95% of the posters on here can understand why it was done ... but not you for some reason ... again because you like to argue .... just because you like to argue.
Then, we were fortunate enough to get The Soup to mock the segments once again, and also give WWE some negative attention. So through the "ridiculous amount of emails" Ross referred to, the petition, and the E! Soup segment, I was keeping my fingers crossed that they would see reason, and that it would sink in to their brains that this has been going on for too long and it needs to come to an end.
Now, if you have any other "points" to make, do so. My patience is wearing very thin with constantly repeating my reasons for doing this to you.
You need to understand this, Cash. If you feel differently than I do about this, so be it. I am not changing my mind on anything ..... Hell what's done is done anyway, so it really baffles me why you are even continuing this discussion anyway, other than just to argue and be a pain in the ass.
So you go your way, and I'll go my way.
Start talking about something else as this topic can't be any further beaten into the ground by you than it already has. Plus, go bother some other posters on here and branch out a little. Prove to everyone that you aren't solely here at this forum to troll me.
