The "problem" with WWE, is that this isn't 1999, times have changed, as have people and their attitudes. The boom period during the Attitude Era came at the right time where the social climate and storylines managed to cross at the right time. The internet wasn't as prominant as it is today, which meant that more people were tuning in on TV to watch.
People on here have been complaining about the writing for around ten years now, yet continue to tune-in week in and week out. So where's the problem? I mean, if it was as bad as everyone says, why watch it for ten years? Having interconnected storylines or breaking away from the PG rating isn't suddenly going to boost WWE's ratings back up to the 7's and 8's that they were making twelve years ago.
Don't get me wrong, I have my grievances too. There are times when WWE make decisions that I hate, but that's not so much a "problem with WWE" as it is a personal opinion of mine. I mean, WWE still bring in millions of viewers every week, so it can't be all that bad. There's a lot of undercard guys who never get used that I wished they would, I mean, now they've gone to a three-hour Raw, whilst guys like Zack Ryder still struggle to get televised matches, but ultimately the WWE machine will still roll on. It sucks, but I'll live, and it's certainly not what I'd call "the problem" with WWE.
The truth is that the problem isn't in the WWE, it's in us fans who sit here on the internet thinking we know everything and demanding too much.
