Look at it this way: The music industry and movie industry have both attacked the internet as the source of their sales and piracy issues. They don't even have a son-in-law issue, they're just blaming an easy target instead of addressing the real issues.
I doubt many people in the WWE want to admit that Triple H is not a draw. That's like screaming "DIE MOTHERFUCKER" at the PResident and then charging...You'll get taken down, possibly out. OF cours,e one's career suicide and the other's just plain suicide, but you get the point.
The fact that the WWE is so much an old boy's club with favorites and politics makes it easier to look for excuses.

True. But it's still suicide on a business level for Vince to let it go on and on. They just keep pushing Triple H as their top draw, and no one is buying it. I would figure that it has gotten to a point where a line would have to be drawn, but I guess that would make too much sense for the WWE.
Either way, you're right. It's all about picking the easiest scapegoat and blaming it, rather than addressing the actual problem.
