I am (was until a few months ago) a paying fan. I have been to every show that has been in Indy since 92 when I went to WM VII. The product has grown stale for me. It has grown stale because the past 10 years the same formula has been in play with Cena and it is boring to watch, for me.
After seeing the build with Reigns, it is clear that the WWE Universe is in for more of the same. Even taking the kayfabe chest protector out of the equation, Reigns just bounced up at the end of the match as if he hadn't even been in a match. LOLCENAWINS will soon be LOLROMANWINS.
Sure he will garner a reaction, much like that of Cena. For me, personally, I don't want to pay $$$ to see that anymore. I cancelled my network sub yesterday and Shane//Taker isn't good enough to get me to renew.
Gotta love those rights fees that are exploding because of the immense reaction Reigns gets at house shows. WOOOOO!!  |
So at the end of the day you feel WWE should cater to you over the thousands of people in attendance who are repeat customers. And you awknowledge Roman is getting massive pops at arenas. So why would they stop pushing him? When an audience is dead silent for his matches, then you move on. When crowds dwindle then you move on. Neither has happened. And that's without a true passing of the torch program between Reigns and Cena.
They had another huge crowd for RAW last night. Going to have somewhere close to 100k at Mania. The fans were going absolutely crazy for the closing angle. I can't imagine people there saying they didn't enjoy themselves.
If you don't think all the cool WWE programming on the Network is worth $10 a month, that's great, you made the right call. Lots more people like me still enjoy the product. So who should WWE cater to? Me or you? If enough business metrics are heading south, then you will see changes. But right now, the majority of metrics are improving. So why would they change course?
