The best thing the WWE could possibly do right now

[D-Man]

Do you people understand that the purpose of the WWE is to make money, and not to entertain the internet audience. There is absolutely no argument that the WWE would benefit from combining the rosters. The WWE makes around $100million more every year than before the brandsplit, when wrestling was far more popular. They also sell around a million more PPVs annually too, despite there only being two extra ones.

From a selfish point of view, I would probably rather see a combined roster, but it wouldn't be as rosy as we all imagine. Think about it, how many of the current main eventers would still be main eventers on a combined brand. Sadly, I think all we'd really see is a company making less money, selling fewer PPVs with a load of lower carders getting fired.

The WWE should maintain the status quo with the brand split for as long as the financial rewards are clear, which will be for the foreseeable future in all honesty.

This is EXACTLY what I was trying to say earlier.

The WWE's main focus is to make money for their company. We, the audience, need to be entertained in order for this to happen, but it seems that the only people complaining are the ones on these websites. The WWE isn't losing any money nor have they for quite some time. Their buy rates are growing, the brand split (and roster separation) is creating new stars, and the product is breaking more and more into the mainstream.

Just because we don't like what we're presently watching doesn't mean that things should change since we are FAR from being the majority. We are nothing more than a community full of smarks that think we know more than the experts. And if we all sit back and think this way, we're just fooling ourselves and making fools of ourselves.

Now, I would love to see Smackdown stars on Raw and vice versa, but just like Tasty said, that's a selfish point of view that will always fall on deaf ears. From WWE management's point of view (and since they're still making money by the boatloads) the best thing they could do right now is exactly what they've been doing for the past 12 months. This current product is selling and no matter how much we bitch, moan, smark out, and pray for more, a sold product is all that matters.

You only see complaints on these websites because these are the only outlets for fans man. Where else are you going to hear wrestling talk? On E! or on Sportscenter? There is no primetime large media outlet for wrestling fans so we come to these websites. You actually hear the pulse of the fans on the internet don't ever get that twisted. We are the ones who really love wrestling and will always be there no matter what.

If wrestling was a main stream form of entertainment that would get reviews on major media shows and in major publications, I'm sure you would see that the sentiment is the same. Don't ever discount an internet opinion by a blogger as non-credible. Believe it or not, its the only opinion that you will ever hear.

I'm not bitching about the haters and complainers. I've said it before and I'll say it again... complaining and the IWC go together like peanut butter and jelly. No matter what anyone says, how much logic is spelled out, how many facts are proven, or how many opinions are disproven, people will always find a way to bitch and moan. The IWC will never be satisfied and no matter how much it disappoints me, I have learned to come to terms with it.

Abe Lincoln said it the best. You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time. No matter what you will never get the majority to agree on anything. Its not the IWC, its just human nature. You will always have dissent. You shouldn't be disappointed. We could be talking about anything...doesn't even have to be wrestling there will be someone who can find something wrong with it...might even be you or me.
