5. Keep It At Arm's Length

WWE's inability to meet their fanbase's expectations makes complete and utter devotion to their product foolish. Give 100% of yourself to Vince McMahon's creative output and he will p*ss you off. Getting too close to it is the most dangerous thing for any person's fandom, and while being the most dedicated WWE fan in town does have its benefits, it'll come back to bite you in the end.

Thus, keeping WWE at arm's length is a wise move for anyone who has ever felt affronted by the product, and if you're able to do it, you'll never allow yourself to feel let down by a company that doesn't know you exist again.

It's a form of entertainment that isn't always calibrated to your specific needs and wants, and never will be. It's also something you can't control. Thus, getting upset to the point of posting things like #CancelWWENetwork is silly. Distance yourself, lower your personal investment to something less intimate, and these urges will pass.

Tempering your expectations works just as well. Don't expect the world from a TV show that can't give it to you.
