Why do you suppose WWE hates the internet community?
Why does Vince and company hate us so much. Granted we are a small part percentage of wrestling fandom, but we still are a fairly loyal group of fan. Why do he want to alienate us?

Because we aren't afraid to point out WWE's faults and offer ways to fix them.

Cause we tend to "ruin the suspense" or "suprise" and at a certain point if you know what's going to happen, you stop watching.

For example, I haven't wacthed smackdown in years, because I can read the results and even if something that isn't supposed to happen goes down, they'll edit it.

Small part of Wrestling........ Sports Entertainment fandom??? I was under the impression that the internet community of fans was the main core group left as the "average fan" demographic has long stopped watching or following wrasslin'.

It's less what we do, and more that they don't like being told they're doing something wrong.

Whether or not we're right or wrong, they resent being told what they should already know due to their ratings...

We know how to basically fix the company and that pissed Vince off. That's like saying Ted Turner would come back and destroy Vince in a ratings war. That's also a big reason why WWE doesnt get solid ratings. No competition. Personally I hope NWA-TNA strikes a TV deal and I hope they put an hour time slot during RAW. I know it will not happen but that's 1 way ratings will increase and us internet marks will stop complaining for a bit.


Oh who am i kidding. There will always be 1 internet mark that will complain about a show or the product.

Some people on the net know what will happen when the WWE makes certain deicisons. Then, when those predictions come to pass, and it hurts the company, the WWE lashes out agianst those who were warning them not to make the same mistakes.

The thing about SD being taped has been proven to have no impact on ratings. SD toyed with the idea of going live, and they tested doing live shows to see the impact on ratings. Guess what? It had no impact whatsoever, in fact a lot of times the taped shows did higher numbers. Thats FACT not opinion, so 'spoilers' have nothing to do with ratings. If they did, RAW's ratings would be through the roof, and SD would be lagging behind.

The odd thing is that when the WWE was doing really well, there were just as many people talking about the WWE on the net, and there were the same dirt sheets there are now. Yet, those publications apparently were not a threat when their content was full of praise instead of negativity. Its obvious Vince is either a pussy and he cant take criticism, or he knows what (who) is wrong with the company, and doesn't have the balls to make the changes needed to move forward with the company.
