10 Ways WWE Has Warped The Minds Of Fans
1. No, Things Won't Improve
"The same show that has sucked sh*t for years might improve, now that there are different personnel around the same age as the men they replaced reporting to the same man that remains and will remain in overall charge!"
Reddit loves that one.
The format is the format.
Somebody like Paul Heyman might recognise how to work within it, for example by hooking you on an angle, not a dreary promo, in the opening segment. His replacement Bruce Prichard knows how to produce television, if nothing else, and so RAW has since developed a more clipped, breezy pace. It's still repetitive, and actively bad, but 45-minute gauntlet matches don't end on a swerve anymore.
It's not going to fundamentally change, even if WWE's desperate carny barks are received in good faith by some. WWE is too big an operation to cope with itself, Vince McMahon has built layers upon layers of obstructive administration to present the illusion to himself that he's a real Corporate Guy, and not a mob boss, and WWE spent so long on top that an arrogance and delusion has enveloped everything. What they do is the way because they do it. Triple H is absolutely f*cked without the American Legion Post, quite obviously.
They're completely out of ideas. With Yokozuna fill-in Dabba-Kato working shoot fights in an underground fighting ring, we're much closer to Inner City Sumo than we are away from it.
