Oh I agree, I've been one of the biggest critics ever around here and some of the writing/decisions they've made in recent years just boggle the mind. Coming off of the high of the "biggest" periods in wrestling (or most businesses) it's a hard thing to keep all the fans satisfied.
I think some of it has to do with the fact that they're more and more becoming, or trying to become, a "legit", global entertainment company, and not just a wrestling company.
They're in a strange transition period IMO and it seems they're no longer about developing and promoting a wrestling show/product, and more about developing and promoting their "superstars" and their relationships with third parties, like sponsors, movies/DVD's, products like toys, etc. When you expand as a business, your prior products will often begin to suffer in quality.
