So extend that for a second: reporters report this stuff because we'll eat it up. 2+2...

Rock's leaves of absences are his own choices. Would you rather Vince TRY to STOP Rock from appearing in movies, only for Rock, even if he DID "have to" stay in wrestling due to contracts or whatever to put on half ass performances as a result?

Ummm...That's not the only other choice. they could NOT bring him back for one night, only to drop him yet again...He's doing the movie thjing...Great for him....But people lose interest when they realize he's gonna be there for a couple of nights and leave again.
And if they could draw more viewers, they could get enough sponsors that they don't have to play the same 3 commercials 50 times a night.

Of course we want "deadman", but he's used that for years. Throw in the fact that what Taker has used since 2000 has been more like the "real him". Excuse them for trying to throw a new spin on things. Despite ALL that, they're apparently bringing deadman back, so kwitcherbitchin on that one.

So...I'm lost here...We should forget that we liked a wrestler the way he was, and like his new, stupid gimmick because he's too lazy to act anymore? They threw a new spin on it. People don't like it. Wouldn't it be smart to take that as an omen?

As for Lesnar/Holly, they're trying something different. Whatever.

Seems more like they're rehashing a bunch of older ideas.
Sorry, I don't buy it. I mean, it's your opinion and all, but easier said than done. People don't like the Undertaker as he is, the cruiserweight scene was a joke for quite some time, and accident prone Hardcore Holly's getting TV time while Ultimo Dragon drifts back and forth between Velocity and Dark Matches.
Nobody here really wants to hate wrestling, it's just that they've given us more than enough reasons to hate it, and Vince is rushing headlong after total offense. I'm hoping one day the internet community smartens up and stops watching, because I would really LOVE to see Vince's reaction to Raw drawing less than reruns of MASH...
It's not that I want him to fail, or wrestling to die, I'm just sick of supporting people who hate us. I used to buy PPVs regularly, now I don't. I used to shell out a lot of money on their merchandise. Now I don't. If they were replacing "Smarks" with other fans, I'd say that it was probably a smart move, but look at the ratings...They can't find people stupid enough to worship them the way they want...
