Truer words were never spoken

I think the effect of the internet on wrestling cant really be generalized into helping or not helping.

I think the internet helps wrestling associates like ROH or TNA because it helps get their name spread to people who would otherwise not find it. Likewise, as with music downloading, I think that helps get some music out there most people would not neccessarily download or listen to.

I think the internet while helping smaller programming, hurts the WWE more than it helps it. Over the past 10 years lets say, through the internet we have been privy to backstage news, spoilers, etc. that we would normally not know. It does take away some of the mystique away I feel, maybe becomes too personal with everything we know. For instance, had we not known what Vince McMahon was like sometimes backstage, we might not see the HOF as people who didnt piss off Vince type thing.

That being said, the internet shouldnt be the only blame for the sometimes crappy pgramming and poor planning put out.
