Back to RDDs post, yes this is how it should be , fans should dictate the product.

This isnt a sit com, or a Drama. this isnt a 1 hour show on 13 weeks a year.

This is a unique entertainment medium that asks fans to

1) Watch 52 3 hour monday night shows a year. Watch 52 Thursday Night shows a year, and god knows how much other stupid shit they put on TV.
2) Buy 59.99 dollar super shows that act as the climax of the shows we put 300 hours a year into watch (so that the company can make money on the TV shows, and also the PPV money)
3) In lieu of paying 59.99 for one show, sign up for a 6 month plan with their own service to watch the pay off of the 300 hours a year they produce.
4) Buy merchandise and video games of the show and superstars.
5) Pay money to come out to live events that tour around the country.

This isnt people bitching about how lost ended. This isnt a normal show. This isnt something fans should "shut up and watch".

Can you imagine if ABC made you buy the Lost Finale for 59.99? Or had a Lost Network? And asked you to come to live Q and A sessions around t he country?

The WWE has made their own format, and they can deal with the angry fans. This is Wrestling 101. Give fans something they want to see to sell tickets.

Now we have to spend more and more to see less and less. Fans are mad that in the last year and a half there has been little to no quality shows, less pay offs to their paid PPVs, no change in direction, the same matches over and over, and the things they cheer for and want to see are disregarded.

Hulk Hogan wasnt champion for 4 years straight because Vince said so. he was because fans wanted it, and spent money, watched shows, bought PPVs and clothes. Fans ate up the product.

Same with the Rock

Same with Austin.

The WWE has been shoving shit down the throat of the fan and dictating to the fan what THEY want to see for 10 years and while its been an issue in the past, its boiling over now.

You cant have a business model that asks so much of fans time and money and expect them to eat shit and smile about it.
