People who are angry about the Rumble, say that they have a right to demand things because they are the customer.
What the fuck are you talking about? Why do you have to be a customer to demand things? Anyone can demand things. Anyone can discuss things.
I'm pretty sure you live in a country that allows you to demand things. If not, I am sorry for you.
I hope the point you are trying to make is that the demanding goes too far when it begins to affect others who do not share your demands. That is a frustrating situation.
But, I think that there seems to be a misunderstanding to where you, as a consumer, stand in the scheme of things.
You should figure out what rights are before you move on to this topic but let's see what you've got.
Here's how it works. The WWE offers up a storyline, a match or a character. You decide whether to invest in it, and spend your money on it. Your power is to not watch, to not buy merchandise or to not attend shows.
Here's how it also works. If you've invested in it and it fails to live up to expectations it is socially acceptable to share your complaints, ask for your money back, and not invest in the future.
But, somewhere along the line, WWE fans go delusions of grandeur and considered themselves bookers. They deluded themselves that they ran WWE, not Vince.
Yeah, you are right, check out what this cunt wrote about the biggest booking decision of 2014:
This is why I continue to say that Brock was the absolutely wrong person to end the Streak. He had nothing to gain by ending the Streak, as he was already dominant and being pushed.
But Bray Wyatt ending it? Now, that would have been different. If WWE wanted a shock factor, Bray beating Taker, after even Brock couldn't, would cause even more jaws to drop.
Secondly, it would have made Bray an A-lister. Before, he was seen as a bit of a gimmick wrestler. But a win at WM over Taker (if the Streak had been intact until then), would have made him big for years.
Thirdly, this mega-push would have groomed him for what I always saw him as :- The new Undertaker, circa 21st century. He would still continue to be Bray Wyatt, but he would get the Casket Matches, the Buried Alive Matches, the Last Ride Matches. When Undertaker goes, so do these matches (as it doesn't make sense with many others), but Bray could carry these matches on after Taker is gone. He could be the new, creepy, intimidating character of the WWE, that everyone wants to take down. Ending the Streak could have made Bray Wyatt (and by extension, Windham Rotundo) a Legend of the industry.
But they would have had to have him go undefeated and be dominant, up until WM. Then, if he ended the Streak, WWE Titles, WM main events and HoF induction awaited him, if he took the ball and ran with it. But now it has been ruined for all time, just because Vince had to appease Lesnar's ego.
This fucker is questioning Vince and assuming he made this decision based on Leanar's desire. What a douche bag. I hope he stays out of this thread.
You choose to accept or reject what WWE offers. But you don't get to book and run everything in WWE, and think that you know better how to run WWE.
What planet do you live on where people don't get to think? Never mind, I see the irony in your statement when you comment on
thinking .
It is like going into a restaurant. You buy a steak. If you don't like it, you can send it back, and not go there again. But you don't get to go into the kitchen, and make your own steak instead. You don't get to say "I know better than the chef, so I will grab a pot and pan and show them how it should be done".
People booing or complaining on the internet is a far cry from illegally trespassing on private property and stealing food and using someone else's kitchen equipment.
If you want to book WWE, have a fantasy league. I do my own booking on some of the WWE video games I had in the GM and Story Creation modes, and even shared them with others online. I even have my own site where I tell others what happened on my Raws, PPVs etc. This is why I don't get pissed off with booking so much. Because if WWE doesn't do what I think they should, I book it for my fantasy shows and do that feud instead, just the way I want it. So I see WWE stuff-ups as opportunities, not reasons for anger.
What are you a therapist?
Should I start a thread talking about my website and fantasy complaining leagues where I take shitty posts on WZ and show how they should have been fixed.
Maybe some of you on here should start up a fantasy WWE league, and book your own Royal Rumble and who wins it. I might even have a look at what you do for your fantasy league.
Promise?
But when it comes to booking real WWE, Vince knows more than the fans. I'd more back the guy who has run a wrestling company for 30 years, which has made millions, which every major superstar wanted to be a part of, at one time or another, and is the sole surviving major wrestling company in the U.S.A., than some guy on the internet who has never run a wrestling company.
So what were your feelings on Lesnar ending The Streak?
You don't have to worry about shareholders, advertisers, sponsors, TV stations and mainstream media, as well as wrestlers, staff and fans. You aren't going to be bankrupt if you make the wrong decisions too often. Your booking has no consequence, and won't result in financial losses if you get it wrong. You can book Daniel Bryan v Dolph Ziggler for the next ten WM main-events, and not see if Wrestlemania succeeds or fails because of it.
So, express your views, buy what you want, like what you want. But don't, for a minute, think that you could run WWE better than those in charge. You may not like everything, but if WWE didn't do some things you liked, they would have died a long time ago.
There you go again telling people how to think.
BTW, show me where anyone seriously said they could do a better job over the past 30 years with WWE than Vince.
Also, don't act like you are doing WWE a favor, by rewarding them with your presence. You are in it to get what you want, so don't act untraistc and think that you supporting WWE out of some sense of charity. You use them like they use you, so don't act so high and mighty.
Who are you talking to is seriously considering they do WWE favors or treats them like a charity?
And why not address them where they posted instead of grandstanding with no evidence?
Wanting Daniel Bryan to win the Rumble is one thing. You can think that, and WWE can't change your mind for you on that. But acting like you want to cause a cue and take over, is overstepping the line. The WWE is like a democracy. The ones in charge make a decision, and those who they are over can speak out about those decisions, and not suffer consequence for their opposition. But I feel many fans want a dictatorship, where you sit there and make all the decisions, and Vince just does whatever you say, or else.
First off, do you use words that you don't understand?
And second, please show me where anyone seriously expects Vince to do what they want.
It also happens with match results. If your fave loses one match, even if it eventually leads to a series of matches, where you fave stands supreme in the end, then you get upset, and want people like Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and others booked like Goldberg.
OK, that is an OK point. People should not overreact. I agree. Stories take time. But remember, if those people don't sound off about their feelings, Vince may think they are apathetic and go a different direction.
Did you ever think Vince uses these strong reactions to a point? In 30 years, do you really think he has always ignored the fans and only went the way he wanted? Is it possible he builds strategy on both the positive and negative reactions?
In fact, maybe you want WWE to say "We give up. YOU tell us everyone we should push, every match we should make, and every result we should do for the next year, since you know all."
So if WWE offers you a position, you ignore it. Are you sure you are a fan?
Occupy Raw is okay for opposing the Authority in a storyline. But WWE fans really interrupting Raw and PPVs, with their childish chanting, and acting like they owned the place is taking it too far, and with this attitude you deserve to be ignored.
Totally reasonable.
So, when it comes to the WWE fans, like the Rock says:-
"KNOW YOUR ROLE- AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"
That's cute. Now tell us what you thought about Brock beating Taker last year.
Make sure you only say that once and don't complain when it doesn't come true.
