10 Things That Would Happen In A Real State Of The WWE Union Address

4. Get Out And “Vote”

Luckily for Vince McMahon, fans are unable to vote for who should head up the company. If it was up to audience members 18 years and older, he would likely be replaced with Triple H or Paul Heyman.

However, fans are letting their voices be heard in other ways, either by not watching WWE programming, or by watching other promotions. While the WWE is far-and-away the major leagues of professional wrestling, the choices to get your wrestling fix are almost endless. Candidates remind us that our voices matter, and if we're not happy, then we should do something about it by getting involved. While we may not personally be able to change the creative direction of Vince's company, we're able to let him know that we think others are doing it better. After all, ROH, TNA, Lucha Underground, WCPW and various Flo Slam companies are only a few channels or clicks away.

The more success those promotions receive, the more WWE will forced to cater towards that departing audience to bring them back. With the television/internet world rapidly changing, we may have a real competitor in the time that Vince’s next “term” ends in 2020 or 2024.
