It's a lowering of expectations, and it leaves the fans looking for something else besides match quality to justify what they're watching...

Now in theory, if a company could put on 5 to 6 good matches a card, people would grow used to that kind of quality. Therefore, if that quality dropped, they would realize it. A lot of WWE fans have accepted the style and don't seek other wrestling. Therefore, when they see someone like Goldberg, they are only really comparing him to others in the company, and other matches in that company.

I can basically gurantee that if you take a wrestling fan who is actually a true wrestling fan, and not a sports entertainment fan, and sit him down in front of a good RoH match, or a good NWA-TNA match, or a good Japanese or Luche Libre match, they will appreciate it. I agree, every company has bad matches, and every company has spot fests, and I am not bias, and I will not claim all RoH matches are gold, because they are not. I will say that ringwise though, the best RoH match can compete with the best WWE match, because any wrestling match, in quality, should be able to compete with any other wrestling match.
Fair enough, but thats why ROH and other indy only draw a few hundred people to their shows. There are only so many die hard wrestling fans out there. The vast majority of people see wrestling like they see other TV shows or movies, and dont worry about the quality of matches and so on. All they want to see is "Goldberg kick someones ass" and they are happy.

And there we go again talking about ring work, which again is subjective, Ive heard people say Kurt Angle's matches suck. I couldn't understand that thinking because I think his matches rule, but again its all opinion, its all meaningless.
