YEah, I've been trying to get this point across for a while.
I mean, the "casual" fans come online too. While they're not as likely to check unofficial news sites,
www.wwe.com is a surefire site for wrestling fans. I guess they finally woke up and realised THAT'S WHY IT WAS THERE. I mean, they've had it there for a while, but it's not really for the so-called "net fans" and "smarks." How many of us are really out there looking for KAYFABE news?
The problem is, the WWE let a hatred of the internet BLIND them to the total usefulness of the internet as two things:
1) A feedback forum...They get direct feedback from more fans than ever before, and should appreciate it instead of getting pissy because we don't understand the business.
2) MASSIVE PUBLICITY!
At the point the Amish have a wesbsite (Several actually), it should be a no-brainer for the WWE to make use of theirs. They can simultaneously pander to marks and smarks...If they can get over their egos.
