The current problem is that there's very little payoff in the WWE right now.

I think fans are the greatest marketing tool available. Teaches you exactly what will go over and won't. I don't think the fans should be satisfied all the time, but I do think that their tendencies should be noted and a factor in booking.

However, I wouldn't put a bunch of total fanboys in charge of booking. That's more or less what we've got right now, in Vince pushing for things that don't sell. We get to watch green Mordecai suck up the ring for months, because a fanboy refuses to accept he's not over, we get to suffer through more "poopy" cracks from Cena...Or look at Katie Vick, which proceeded despite low ratings and protests from wrestlers; or JBL, which is considered by many (even i the biz) to be too far...Even for wrestling.

It's not the only reason he's bad for the biz, but it's part of it.
