Root of the problem(s)?

**BigCrippyZ** · 08-11-2012, 01:12 AM

Love WWE or hate it currently, even with the financial and industry status, I think there's no doubt that WWE has some serious problems that need to address. Poor writing, lack of consistent creative direction, suspension of Jericho for doing a common heel tactic, release of AW for a poorly chosen joke, lack of creating new popular superstars and characters, these are some of the problems I think they're having. My question is what is the root cause of these issues?

Is it the fact that the company is publicly traded and now more worried about shareholders, sponsorships, partnerships and public perceptions? Is it Vince losing his faculties, management abilities or something else? Is it the fact that WWE is now focusing on too many other things, movies, their network, social media, etc.? Is it Linda McMahon's political and career ambitions (either direct or indirect) negative influence? Or is it some combination of the above?

Personally, I thinks it's a combination of all the above. However, I believe it's really all poor management by Vince, as he could and should, as CEO, deal with and solve the other causes and issues. Whether it's intentionally his fault or not, it is ultimately, Vince's fault and responsibility. I think he's losing his touch or effectiveness as a manager and executive.

I'm curious to know what do you guys think. Thoughts?
