I'd be curious just how many people are actually interested in the business vs. how many people used to by interested in the stories and characters. I'd bet that the % change would be ridiculously pathetic and that honest folks in the business would admit to that reality and concern. If they could get it, I'd bet they'd gladly take people actually being interested in the characters/stories previously, vs. those interested in the business today,

I wouldnt call me fan, i dont watch the product more than 6 times a year.

And its absolutely true. The anti Reigns camp is just oblivious to anything but their rage.

We've done this merry-go-round though. Every knows its a work. They get heat in very different ways now. You cant sell a product that everyone knows is a work to people that arent hardcore wrestling fans (like most here.) They know you know its a work. So whats the angle then? Turn the office heel. You think you know best so youre the baby in your own story now.

Crowd should have popped when lesnar went over but they're so smug that when he did they were stunned silent. They never considered they might be wrong. Pretty hilarious outcome tbh. They forgot that they were mad he was going to win and when he lost theyt forgot that it should have made them happy..raging against a machine of their own making.

Cena and reigns are the same blue print. Problem with reigns isnt that people boo him, same people bood cena. The problem is reigns doesnt have the merch potential cena had. You'll never have another steve austin though. That era was the last true boom. Too much hot shotting by bischoff and vince. The industry has never and will never recover.

Reminds me of a conversation with Dutch Mantell about when he took the book in Puerto Rico. He was able to go over there and do huge money because they hadnt seen everything yet. But after a few years there was no money. Its been said many times that every period of hot shotting is followed by a substantial drought. The fed surviving this long is a testament to how good they are at what they do.

But it has a shelf life..any event...getting side tracked

Changes are coming though with the direction the fed is taking. We'll revist that aspect later though. No point in arguing over what hasnt happened yet.

But if you think Reigns isnt the most talked about guy in wrestling just watch this forum for the next 72 hours.

But we'll keep popping off about how dumb the office is and how it should have been done until they push something else...and we'll shit on that too. Its our thing. We 0might get an elseworth over for the luls tho. Just to show how cool we are.
