People have always said WWE is a male soap opera. I just think that went to Vince’s head and he decided soap opera writers were the way to go. However, how many wrestling fans watch “Days of Our Lives” and other soap opera shows.
Nobody gives a crap about wrestlers who are bodybuilders that come out and flex their muscles except for HHH and Vince. Twelve year olds laugh at that. How in the world do they expect 20-somethings to find that interesting?
SD has become too cartoonish. As a friend of mind pointed out, does everyone have to drive to the ring?
They are writing a show that appeals to them and not to the target audience. WWE probably has the best roster they have ever had in terms of in-ring ability; however, they really need to work on character and storyline development.
Hiring a bunch of T&A isn’t even a short-term fix. There are way too many other outlets for T&A. WWE isn’t doing anything innovative or different by having girls in bikinis on their programming. People who are watching WWE have cable, which means there are many more channels that show a lot more than WWE does in terms of nudity.
What could help WWE? For starters, listen to the fans and try to shoot for a balance of what people want.
