I just want to find out your thoughts on where this Authority storyline with the WWE is going, short-term and long term. Keeping in mind that thus far, the storyline in my view has been rudderless and meaningless, taking no cognizance of the wrestling fan's point of view or best interest as was the case in the Daniel Bryan situation with the WWE title, or common logic in ensuring plot lines fall in place or make sense.
I am with you, I find it boring too. It would seem that sooner or later Vince McMahon comes back and they take it from there. Will he be happy with the job Steph and H have done? Who knows. Honestly, I wish they would just push the reset button on it. But either way, expect it to lead to, at least, HHH working a match at WrestleMania XXX.
When do you think the right time would be to turn John Cena heel? And how much longer do you think the average fan can or should stomach this sappy PG13 Era product?
A lot of long-time fans have already bailed on WWE. I hear from them all the time. But WWE doesn't care about that, TV-PG means more revenue for them, so it is what it is. And they just don't want to turn Cena. They like him as the face "face of the company" and it's a role he likes to play.
So I go on the WWE website and all I see is best Survivor Series elimination matches of all time, the best teams, worst teams, dream teams. But yet this Survivor Series and recent ones hardly resembles anything traditional on the card. Why show all of this if they are not going to give us a full PPV of the elimination matches?
That is a great question. They are trying to play off of the history of the event but as I mentioned above, fewer and fewer long time fans are still watching so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to say to the new generation, "Hey kids, this is what we used to do".
The WWE alienated a lot of the hardcore wrestling fans in favor of a "TV-PG" product geared toward kids. The Total Divas show is rated "TV-14". Its obviously not considered a show for kids. And yet, the show is being heavily promoted on all WWE programming to "family" audiences. Isn't that hypocritical? Why is that okay and not a "TV-14" wrestling show? They're expecting the same audience to watch both.
E! is a network that is racier than what WWE does so they create their product in that vein. I wouldn't call it hypocritical though. I would call it delivering what the network wants.
IF THEY GOT IN THE GYM RIGHT NOW AND REALLY BUSTED THEIR ASSES THROUGH WRESTLEMANIA, WHAT ABOUT THE MATCH WWE NEVER GAVE US AT WRESTLEMANIA, HOGAN VS FLAIR? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POP IF THESE 2 GUYS CAME TO THE RING IN SHAPE AND REALLY WRESTLED A CLASSIC?
I have seen enough of Ric Flair with his shirt off over the last few years to last a lifetime. Honestly at this point I don't want to see those two wrestle. If we have to have Hogan wrestle, I would prefer he do it against Roddy Piper. But I really don't need to see him wrestle.
