WWE UNIVERSE!!!!!
INTERNET FAN!!!!
I hate these two terms more than anything. The first term is WWE's way to reduce the audience into one single demographic. Millions of people with their own opinions and thought processes broken down and warped into this amorphous blob of consciousness so it's easier for Vince McMahon to pretend he's a genius. Vince McMahon is not a genius, he has never created anything worth bragging about. He wasn't the mastermind behind the attitude era. Steve Austin created Stone Cold and Dwayne Johnson created
The Rock. The two biggest draws of that era. If it was only Vince we would have had a shitty attitude era with the Ringmaster and Rocky Maivia. The only thing Vince created was the evil boss character which is deader than a dead horse now. Vince dumb-lucked his way into that too by way of the Montreal Screwjob. Geniuses create things. They build things and people come. Paul Heyman created ECW and people came. Eric Bischoff created the NWO and people came. Vince McMahon never built anything, he was just there. WWE will always be garbage if they don't pull themselves out of this backwards way of thinking. It doesn't matter what rating you slap on it. PG, R or XXX, WWE's biggest problem is it's belief in this fabricated audience called the "WWE Universe".
The other problem is this belief creates another fabricated group of people. The Internet Fan. I hate this term because anytime you even begin to express any kind of nuanced opinion, most of the people in WWE label you an "internet fan". As if most people somehow still don't have the internet. As if most people don't use the internet to express their opinions on things they care about. As if most of the people who don't express their opinion online have their spoons out to eat up everything WWE gives them. The internet isn't magical. It didn't just create these people. They've always been there and are still there, internet or no internet. They are called you're fans. Not Internet fans, not smart marks, just your fans. They need to stop being ostriches and open their eyes to whats really going on.

Okay, seriously we had Super-Cena for like 8 years. That's ok to call him "super", the guy seemed invincible most of the time. He only lost 6 matches clean, against Batista at Summerslam 2008, Triple H at Night Of Champions 2008, JBL at The Great American Bash 2008, The Rock at Wrestlemania 28, Randy Orton at Hell In A Cell 2009 and Daniel Bryan at Summerslam 2013.
We also had Super-Punk for some time. I guess WWE did well to turn him heel because he would be fucking hated now. Now, we have Super Fucking Bryan. Seriously? Is this a trend? And he isn't even the WWE Champion.
Did we also had Super Austin back in 1998-1999? What about Super HBK in 1996? Or what about God Hogan from 1984-now?
Is this a new trend? Will it be wore by many this year? I mean c'mon guys, how do you expect someone at the size of Daniel Bryan to be pushed if not by picking up victories? He's not Khali, who after so many jobbing years, he could win the WH Championship and still be relevant.
This looks fucked up. Seriously.
Big names=lots of wins
Midcarders=semi
Jobbers=No wins

Big Show. This soft character he tries to portray is stupid. Since when his character cares about Daniel Bryan? He's suddenly remorseful for the guy who quickly took his only WHC reign in WWE. The strangest thing about this storyline is that Show was already shinning in this story before Henry got hurt. I thought: "Isn't he paired with Henry to compete for the Tag titles?". WWE even stopped to mention it. At a bad time Henry got hurt. I preferred Henry switched spots with Show. Or why not Ziggler? I'd say Punk but he won't be in this angle yet I believe.
My point here is that Show's involvement in this angle looks forced, like if he needed the damn spotlight. I just hate whenever they do this BS with him. Sadly, he's the only giant left in WWE (no, don't mention Khali please), but I don't believe that has to assure him in this storyline.
Let me know your thoughts, I haven't opened a thread here since like 2011!

I'm sick of Bray Wyatt. His entrance is stupid. He lights a lantern, and then blows it out. He then shows up with another lantern obviously not run by flame and then proceeds to sit down to blow out an electric lantern and stands up after just sitting down. Now I've heard and somewhat believe that the entrance is almost worth just as much as ones ability to wrestle, but this is too much. Way too much character..not enough wrestling. How am I to believe that this guy can string together 20 minutes worth of moves against a guy like John Cena when he can barely entertain me for 5 minutes against a guy like Dolph Ziggler.

Raw, Smackdown, Main Event and Superstars are overproduced fluff. One of the biggest reasons NXT is so good is that it has a more gritty feel to it.
Case in point, The Wyatts look like monsters when they were on NXT but I saw them on Main Event wrestling the PTP and they looked so out of place.

You're joking, right? Cena, far and away, is the most talked about and polarizing wrestler on these forums, even moreso then Hogan in TNA. But when people DO make the incredibly valid points that:A. Cena sells more merchandise than anyone else
B. Cena is the top star, and it's not even close
They're doing more then presenting an opinion you disagree on, they're providing facts. Let me save you the trouble: Facts are far more important in this world than an opinion. Here's an example.
There's a road near my house that's off my highway, and the speed limit is 35. I can't understand why, so I drive 50 on it, and get pulled over. I tell the officer my opinion is that it should be 50, not 35, and his response will be simple.
The point being: Opinions are nice, facts are better.
Never would have guessed this.
It's your right and your opinion, but facts dictate that WWE would be worse off without him. Another opinion, when facts have shown that WWE struggles on the whole and sales stagnate when Cena is out. Cena isn't a good enough actor to go the Rock route(Retire, sail off to Hollywood), and he's honest, at times brutally so, about it. He laughs at himself and says he's a bad actor, which he pretty much is.
What can't be argued(or shouldn't, at least
) is that Cena is the wrestler who's had good to great matches with every other top star in the business. He's also gone a long way towards the elevation of many Main Even wrestlers. Edge, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and Dolph Ziggler have all stated that he's brought out the best in them. It's no coincidence that all of these men rose to main-event status shortly after working with Cena. That doesn't mean your opinion isn't wrong, nonetheless. You're free to both have and express it, however.
You're not a fan clamoring for a Cena heel turn, and you seem to just universally dislike him. I respect that FAR more the people who say that they're tired of Cena as a face, but would love him as a heel.
Folks, more often then not, your opinion won't change, be he heel or face. Some of you may love him as a heel, I'm not denying that, but many of you who are clammoring for a heel turn will likely find themselves discontent after a short time, because he'ld still be the same, top-of-the-card wrestler so many of you detest him for being. He gave us a glimpse of it as a heel rapper, but that's not a money-drawing gimmick. Personally, I'd like him regardless, because I'm a fan of Cena the wrestler. Its the same way I felt about Edge, and (dating myself,) Hulk Hogan in his prime as both a face in the WWF and a heel in WCW.
As for Cena going part-time, he's in the prime of his career. There's no benefit to Cena or WWE for him to go part-time. But our OP said:
The Rock left to go make movies in Hollywood, which in his defense, he's made far more money doing. Kudos to him. Austin ostensibly retired because his neck got so bad he no longer could wrestle. How do either of those correlate to John Cena?
They don't.
Cena is a workout machine that has obviously been blessed with tremendous genes that allow him to recuperate faster then most. It doesn't hurt that at 36, wrestling is still his first love. Nobody pushed Rock or Austin, the two to names of their era, out the door. Rock left for Hollywood, which he's shown to be more then suitable for. Kudos to him. Austin had the bad fortune of injuring his neck and being unable to go any longer, little else.
Cena doesn't want to go to Hollywood, and his injuries have not been dehabilitating, just the opposite. He's come back stronger both times he missed legitimate time with an injury, and hes come back 100%.
What would suggest he'll do anything other than that(come back strong and at 100%), when the facts from his previous injuries show that he has?
Cena should wrestle for as long and at whatever schedule he desires for as long as he'ld like. Unlike CM Punk and Chris Jericho, (and Paul Heyman
) Cena truly is, in my opinion, the best in the world. That's my opinion, and some may disagree, and make valid points as to why. But in a cost-benefit analysis, it's apparent that, love him or hate him or somewhere in between, WWE gets the most benefit from John Cena as a full-time wrestler. And that's a fact, nothing less.
The problem with the WWE is political correctness. Because the WWE is now a publicly traded company, it has to worry about its stockholders. The solution is that everyday fans need to start buying stock in the company, form a block large enough to be able to influence the company, and essentially make the company more appealing to the fans.
Big Show's KO punch has found its way onto TV a lot recently and has taken over from the Chokeslam and Spear to be his main finisher. I have a few reasons to have major dislike for this move and feel WWE should actually stop using it because it is so stupid
1. The guaranteed KO. Big Show a has 1 punch knockout on anybody who he hits and I think this is stupid. Mike Tyson a feared man in the boxing world did not have a guaranteed 1 Punch KO, it may have happened a few times but it did not have a 100% success rate a KO's. I know you may defend this by saying he has a big glove on then fine I will move to UFC who barely has a glove. Junior Dos Santos, Alistair Overeem and Travis Browne all big guys with power punches who have 1 punch KO victories but it is not a 100% success rate and Big Show should not have that.
2. Big Show himself. Big Show is a man who shows very little muscular definition, he does look like a man who has even trained boxing enough to gain a precision strike that KO's opponents. I feel that this move would be better suited for Brock Lesnar, He has the fact that had TKO victories within the UFC and looks like he could have a 1 punch KO due to his size a build
3. Medical Suspensions. At UFC 162 Anderson Silva lost by KO. He was not allowed to do contact training from July 6th when it happened to August 6th. That means he was medically suspended from contact training for 30 days. However in the WWE people are back the next night competing which is stupid as this would suggest that WWE are terrible employers and deserve a lawsuit for forcing guys compete despite being medically suspended if it was the real world. Yes I know it is fake but you need some form of realism to make the story believable.

YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
You're trying to apply real world physics to a "fake sport" and it's just not gonna work. I know that some people like to complain that wrestling isn't realistic, which makes it all the more dumbfounding why they watch it. It isn't really supposed to be all that realistic. You have over the top personalities, most of which are complete fabrications, engaged in fictional feuds that result in fictional fights. The action in a wrestling match is more comparable to that you'd see in a choreographed fight scene in a movie rather than real life. In the Rocky films, the fights aren't at all realistic as you have powerful 200+ pound men throwing bombs at each other left & right. Almost every single punch thrown in those films results in an impact that would put almost any man in real life out for the count. Just one of those punches could do catastrophic damage to anyone, let alone going through 10 or 12 rounds that last 3 minutes each. Pro wrestling's over the top nature is part of why people watch it. Frankly, most of the time, pro wrestling matches look more "epic" and physical than any real fight. Suspension of disbelief is essential. Doesn't mean you're always gonna be into everything you see, but that's how it goes. Also, again, pro wrestling's a fake sport. People watch the matches for the over the top action. The know that Big Show isn't really delivering a KO punch, but they know that he could if he wanted to just because of his size.
You don't have to be cut to pack a lot of power. There's a difference between having a Herculean physique and having Herculean strength. Back in his day, Vader was able to clean & jerk 500 pounds over his head. The world record for that lift is currently held by Hossein Rezazadeh with a weight of 581 pounds. Rezazadeh represented Iran in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. He won the Olympic gold medals in the 2000 and 2004 games in the 105+ kilo weight class, which is the heaviest class. Rezazadeh weighed about 350 pounds at the time and he didn't he wasn't exactly loaded with muscular definition. Guys like Ryback & Big E. Langston both look like physical brutes, and they are, but they can't touch someone like Mark Henry, at least Henry in his prime, when it came down to raw brute strength. If Big Show really, really let someone have it with all his strength & weight behind it, he could devastate the poor bastard. I've seen Big Show military press 250 pound men over his head as if they weighed nothing and that takes a lot of strength. Is Show really this superhuman strongman in real life? Of course not, but it's a gimmick that's believable because Paul Wight is legitimately 7'0" and weighs about 400 pounds. This is where some aspects of realism come in because people are going to buy into Paul Wight as such a character because of his look & size, but they wouldn't if WWE tried to do the same thing with CM Punk or Daniel Bryan.
Again, you're trying to apply real world aspects to a sport that's not really a sport. Wrestlers are portrayed as being almost superhuman in some respects, that's always been part of the appeal. Pro wrestlers, generally speaking, are supposed to be above the normal limitations that apply to other human beings. Again, quite often, watching a wrestling match is like watching a choreographed fight scene in a movie. It looks great and it looks physical but 95% of it simply isn't real. Just like in a movie fight scene, people do get hurt sometimes. Sometimes their timing is off and they wind up really nailing the other guy, sometimes they make a mistake, sometimes they get hurt while doing a big spot. If you want something that's 100% realistic, then you shouldn't be watching pro wrestling. That doesn't mean that there aren't realistic, real world aspects applied in wrestling, of course, but you're not gonna see a whole lot of it in wrestling matches. Otherwise, you'd have guys rolling around on the mat Greco-Roman style in which one match could potentially last hours at a time, like when pro wrestling was a legit sport back in the early 20th century.

Only superstar has knockout power? what about guys like mark henry or big e?
they are stronger than big slow. my gosh some people don't know what their talking about.
In terms of punching! I assumed that'd be obvious seeing as each wrestler has a finishing move that has been known to knock their opponents out cold.

Krissssssss Benwa...Benwa
I find this to be a very stupid thread. When I clicked on it I was expecting somewhat of a legitimate gripe like "What's the difference between the KO punch and the other right hands he throws in matches?" That makes more sense than the stuff you've listed in the OP I'm not trying to be rude just trying to be honest. Big Show doesn't really knock these people out he "hits" them and they sell it as if it did so you can't really compare it to real KO punches in Boxing or MMA where you have to knock a guy out for real.
Haha, yeah. That's what I was going to say. When a guy has a finisher that's so simple to pull off, it's kind of distracting for the viewer (or at least for me and apparently Kris Benwa as well) that he doesn't just end the match. It seems like most Big Show matches could end in about three minutes, when he whips his opponent in the corner and does the loud chest-smack thing. If I were him I would just Heart Punch the dude and get the win.
Other than that, the believability of the move doesn't really bother me. Big Show's hands are enormous... in one backstage segment, he was holding a piece of 8-1/2" x 11" paper and his hand pretty much spanned the whole page. A punch from that would probably kill me, so knocking out a trained fighter isn't out of the realm of believability.

I'd just like to spin off of this line of thought by saying that HBK succumbing to a ref bump is fucking stupid. It's a nitpicky complaint I suppose, but I've seen the man kick out of almost every significant finishing maneuver in wrestling. Just irks me.
Also, for all my preaching of patience and general good humor about WWE, I'm getting really tired of the status quo. Sure, there are marginal gains here and there, but on the whole I'm getting bored to tears with WWE.

Let me show ya somethin!!!
This.
I didn't see the match, or the bump obviously, but that better have been cannon fire knocking out HBK
First i don't care about spelling and punctuation as much as i do my message so here goes, wwe has become this romper room, continuous recycling of story lines since mr cena became the MAN the messed up part is they chose a clumsy ,arrogant, time hog , cena this cena that 10-12 years running now right been so long now i forgot when he had ruthless agression. Why do we spend money even for our kids to see the people we want to see buried by HHH's ego or vince's stupidity or writers block or whatever plainly put the raw the other night where big show showed up has been the best raw in ten years besides the mark henry night that was epic... but 2 shows in ten years that were almost up to par? we got all these ppvs, that are almost always throwaways for john cena to bury somebody its crap! im not a cena basher but enough is enough period. Randy ortan as face instead of daniel bryan wtf ? MY name is Randy im going to punt you in head beep bop boop! really, They constantly over shadow talent with worthless bitches and part time workers who make the product so much worse.
the Rock wwe is my home im never leaving bla bla bla, so fans say ok john cena and the rock we'll watch it , both wrestlemanias both disappointments, neither match was EPIC or even satisfying to anyone who wasn't 12 . cm punk both times had a better match yet he was completely over shadowed FOR NOTHING! THE last 5 WRESTLEMANIAS have been rushed bareley any glamour or glitz and what little they did have was to much or too little and the lead up too wrestlemania was rushed and or didn't make sense.Wrestling used to be for the ADULTS to get away from their 12 yr old brats for a couple of hours let off some steam and get a hard on ,now with everybody suing and their feelings getting hurt , 12 year old kids can see there hero over and over again do the same stuff because its family oriented? I love pro wrestling its pretty much all i talk about and im 38 yrs old my first wrestling hero is the warrior as bat shit crazy as he is . wwe is a 3 hr baby sitter, can you imagine the reaction if people brought their kids set them down left and had a night on the town while the arena is only a quarter full? This shit has got to stop period . after all the years of loyalty we deserve a program that will entice us make us drool and then they fucking deliver! yes the delrio cena match told a great story and great match and sandow should have won but of course the cena vinny -mac burial plot kills two birds with one kid magnet they need to take my ideah - have a station like usa with all the time slots taken miz tv can be an hour show with star quality set with real convos and real feeling all commercials done by wrestlers and divas the rest is used to build up EVERYBODY up at once live the lagistics would be a night mare but when you got to the arena you didnt have 20 minute snore cessions you would never know whats going on the internet would be on fire but it wouldnt be predictable 90 % of the time! i love wrestling and if they did this they could call it the"Big Time era" cause they would be killing it big time!

Not really griping. In my opinion WWE has been better than it has been compared to months ago. But with that said there are a few things that I can't wrap my head around.
Shawn Michaels not only taking a referee bump, but tapping out to his student's submission move the exact moment it was applied. I hate when superstars do this. We've seen Shawn Michaels battle out of almost every hold known to man, or at least resist said moves. But when the guy he supposedly taught puts the submission on him, he taps in seconds flat? I know it made Bryan look great, but if they go with Michaels vs. Bryan, we already know he can make him tap in an instant. But will they sell the match that way? Nope.
Big Show's rich friends. Fuck those guys. Somehow a restraining order has no power in the WWE, and you can buy your way into anything as long as you're buddies with the right people. I can no longer tell if this is still suppose to be a kid's show or not. If so, this is a piss poor example of role modeling. We get that Triple H & Family are bad, villainous even. But you're making Big Show your biggest threat. The one everyone is rallying behind. And what has he done to get cheered? Know "the right" people?

WWE's incessant need to plug everything. We shouldn't have to be reminded 5 times a week that there is such a thing as The WWE App. We got it already. And if we didn't, we can find out on our own. We're big boys and girls now.
This lawsuit angle is a complete and utter failure on a logical playing field. Sure, I shouldn't expect anything less from a wrestling show, but I'm an adult and thus think critically. No one is going to give up a sure win for a championship match. That's as brain-dead as brain-dead goes. According to the situation, Big Show could gain the entire company. He could make himself the WWE Champion. And he's giving that up for only a chance? This is where I draw the line. I thought Big Show's broke angle was bad, but this is miles worse.
Cole, JBL, & Lawler, what the fuck happened to these guys tonight? C-Span was more exciting to listen to. One of the best 3 on 3 matches I have ever seen is taking place in the ring, and what are these knuckleheads doing? Making gringo jokes. Yeah. Del Rio and Zeb didn't even help matters and probably made it sound even worse. I sincerely hope WWE is considering changing up the announce team because I'd rather listen to Vickie cackle on an infinite loop than to see that happen again.

YES, i was thinking about writing this AND GOD your so right, i mean JBL i HATE him nowdays, words that come for that mouth omg, and that MISS FANDANGO eeeevery f**king time its pissing me off! JBL go home of do your so or what ever dont even care anymore.
Who I should be cheering for.
It has been building for a while. I know this isn't the first time, nor will be the last time but I have to get this off my chest now.
Whether people want to believe or not, Daniel Bryan is the best thing in the WWE right now. The most over, puts on the best matches, nuff said. Now I know that you should never believe anything you read, especially on dirt sheets but this outdated idea that the WWE has with 'big guys' really pisses me off. If we are to believe what we are told (obviously not but it doesn't stop journalists reporting it) the reason that they are pushing the Big Show is due to the aforementioned idea.
I like the Big Show. Hell, found him entertaining for most of his career. But he now has to fit into the midcard. There is no room to be involved in the big storyline for the big belt anymore. Have Daniel Bryan feud with HHH leading to the Rumble. I'm not much of a fan of Hunter taking up too much TV time but if you want to help Bryan get over even further, have him beat the authority figure before going and finally winning the WWE title for more than 24 hours.
It grates me that the WWE thinks it still knows what is best for its fans. I know it isn't the first time that they have done this, but in the late 90's, Vince knew that the fans were always right. They made Steve Austin a household name. They embraced 'The Rock' Rocky Maivia, They chose John Cena. We may sometimes be too smart for our own good, and we may do stupid things like chanting 'Husky Harris' at Bray Wyatt, but the fans legitimately chose Daniel Bryan as their guy. That makes him THE guy. Not in storyline, he is not 'best for business', he is business.
People can point fingers at low buyrates and place the blame at Bryan's door, but truth is, the blame lies with creative. SummerSlam was an excellent PPV. It drew low numbers. John Cena was in the main event. What more can be said? It wasn't Bryan's fault. It is wrestlings fault.
Am I moaning over nothing? Does the WWE need to listen to its fanbase more? What is your opinion?

WWE bases their view on who is best for the fans on a things like PPV Buy rates,Ratings,Attendance for the big shows and house events and last and by no means least Merch sells. I am not sure how high DB rates on Merch sells but i am gonna guess it doesn't come close to Cena or Punk.....hell might not even beat Orton i would like to see the figures tho. But for the rest its not in his favor. WWE is gonna look and see huh everything is down across the board when DB in the WWE title picture.
WWE really doesn't care what you,me or anyone else in the IWC think or who we like. We are a minority to them....vocal yes but a minority none the less. The majority of the people they play to is the kids,casuals and other none IWC fans. The only way they really know how they like something is cold hard numbers. People can say "They chant yes! and cheer" They cheer for Santino and Doink the clown doesn't mean a thing to WWE brash unless they see a spike in numbers and can tie it to said person.
All that being said i like DB and i cheer for who i want not who WWE pushes but then agian i dont go out and buy shirts or much of anything outside a few PPVs a year so to WWE my vote really means little.
