I think that the site is becoming more interactive though, with many posts by wrestlers, and behind the scenes interviews. This may help alter storylines to what the fans want, if the WWE actually pays attention to it, but myself and most people on this forum probably realize that they don't. However, many people are not internet friendly, and only 'extra' wrestling news and hype should be included. Many people will miss out in that case, and this may discourage them from watching. TV should still be the main hyping medium for matches, promos, etc.
I agree with what you're saying.
TV should always be the main forum ofr wrestling.
What I'm suggesting is that they also utilise the website - things like Bradshaws recent work before the PPV slagging Internet fans done a lot to create heat.
They should do more of this.
I'm not in favour of wrestlers frequenting public boards because they would get totally overrun in seconds. BAD Idea!
What would work would be if wrestlers were writing articles and doing interviews that were published on the website and in magazines, and they remained in character, and continued their feuds that way.
It would brings something extra to the table, some extra heat, and with TV still being the primary focus, there is no reason why they can't reference it on TV.
