How can WWE blatantly ignore their fans and stay successful?

[snakeboss]

I mean, it's obvious that the majority of WWE fans wanted Daniel Bryan to win the Royal Rumble. WWE ignored them 2 years in a row and I hear they're insisting on sticking with their plan this year. But surely the fans that want Bryan are more likely to pay for Wrestlemania if Bryan Is in a good match? I just don't understand the business logic? Bryan has more fans than Reigns, fans buy tickets? It makes no sense to not have him heavily featured. He doesn't necessarily have to have the title match, but at least a big match? Now I hear the main rumor is Bryan will be facing Sheamus again in a mid card match. Surely that's WWE blatantly ignoring what fans want? Baffles me. Surely their business should suffer for it?

There are quite a few other threads covering this topic.

I was wondering when you would be coming back to lead the charge.

Because the people who spend the most on WWE are the parents of Cena fans.

Maybe we should wait and see what happens over the next couple months?

We are the ones actually shelling out cash instead of complaining about when someone farts though

Because the people who complain the most are still buying the WWE Network. Still buying tickets to live events. Still buying merchandise. As long as they are getting our money, they will do what they want.

They don't need to fix anything they have a good main event and Bryan is were he needs to be in the mid card.

This thread isn't so much saying the crowd hate Reigns. I personally like Reigns, Bryan had the main event last year so fair is fair. It's more about how WWE don't book Bryan as a key factor in their plans when he's clearly one of their most popular guys. You would never see The Rock battle Bradshaw back in the attitude era at Wrestlemania.

Daniel Bryan matches I think everyone would enjoy:
Vs Dean Ambrose
Vs Seth Rollins
Vs John Cena
Vs Bray Wyatt
Vs Dolph Ziggler

I think they'd be much better matches.
