Therein lies the problem. They're making money, so they don't know or care that they're putting out a craptastic product 9 times out of 10. They're like WCW in the late stages. If they scale back to settling down and making shows better, they'll lose money, and from a business standpoint, that's unacceptable as opposed to an issue of healthier sustainability. The videogame industry has a similar issue at parallel.

Would you rather make guaranteed, decent money for the next ten years, or make ALL of the money in the next quarter? (but what happens in the following quarter-? WHO GIVES A FUCK!!!?).

The thing that makes this sadder, to me, is that they'll do something like, say, try to put their foot in the door in the UK and try to edge out potential competitors when it became a new wrestling hotbed. And they did this not by putting on a superior show and letting the market decide, but by saying they get rights to what venues they run, and other promotions can't work them. If you're the only game in town, you don't have to worry about trivial shit like being good.

It's like they *know* they're shit, but they don't want to focus on not being shit, but instead, making sure their shit is the only thing available.
