10 Reasons Why People Who Hate WWE Hate WWE

1. ...We Can't Help But Come Back

The obvious answer is to simply stop moaning, or stop watching - which is easier in theory than it is in practise, even for those who don't write about the industry for a living.

Even in 2017, The Year of the Jinder, with its Punjabi Prisons and Horrific Houses, WWE is selectively magnificent. Goldberg Vs. Brock Lesnar was a sensational antidote to the bloated WrestleMania 33 card, capping off an unexpected triumph of a programme. The New Day Vs. The Usos rivalry was sensational in-ring and from the elusive character perspective. The RAW Tag Team title scene has provided genuine emotion and match quality, enjoying the warm reception of an Indian summer. NXT is still great. We're getting WarGames next month. War. F*cking. G*mes. This company always finds a way to bring you back. It must be doing something right.

Even when we rage against the cornball scripted dialogue, such a clear barricade to a performer's career, the typewriting monkeys deliver a classic. Baron Corbin's "Cry, cry, cry and I will buy a boat to sail down your river of tears" line was pure poetry.

WWE is a company in a luxurious position, and has become gluttonous. But we're getting WarGames next month. War. F*cking. G*mes.

And so the loop continues.
