There is no happy medium?

Hi team,

Just a thought after reading a post the other day where someone wasn't thrilled with the upcoming battle royale on Smackdown. The reason for this was because they perceived that Randy Orton was losing his title shot at Wrestlemania. Almost as if they were losing control of how television was playing out.

On the flip side to this, there has also been a bunch of predictable storylines due to dirt sheets that people were not happy about. One of the reasons being predictability. An example of this would be Goldberg vs Kevin Owens with Goldberg winning and facing Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the championship.

Is there a happy medium? Or are we predisposed to complain regardless of how things play out on TV? Do we want to be in control and know where things are going ahead of time? Or do we want to be surprised as television unfolds weekly?

I find it curious that the majority of viewers are happy to see shows like the Walking Dead unfold in ways they hadn't thought of. However when it comes to wrestling, if a storyline begins to veer off what they assumed was going to happen, people begin to bash the product.

Thoughts?
