The REAL Reason WWE Fans Are Living In A Fantasy World

If you're reading this, then, at some point in your fandom, there's a chance you've succumbed to situations similar to those described earlier. Maybe you still retreat to that fantasy land every day. That's fine; there are solutions.

Step one: explore other options. If you've ever complained about WWE's lack of in-ring focus and inability to reward long-term investment, buy an NJPW World subscription. Get in on the ground floor with AEW's Double Or Nothing pay-per-view this weekend. Don't want to abandon Titan entirely? Ditch the main roster and stick with NXT

Step two: learn how to keep Vince McMahon's promotion at arm's length. Investing too much into the modern WWE product is dangerous. It will p*ss you off, so don't take it to heart.

Step three: pick and choose. You don't have to watch every minute of every episode of WWE television. Instead, pre-record it, then fast-forward through the b*llocks.

Step four: accept WWE for what it is. This is Sports Entertainment, not traditional wrestling. Vince McMahon calibrates it in accordance with his preferences and his preferences alone, and it's foolish to expect anything else.

Step five: learn how to laugh at the product's absurdity. When viewed through a lighthearted lens, those Shane McMahon vs. The Miz matches are hilarious, not tedious.

There's nothing wrong with dreaming of a better WWE, but let's ditch the Cesaro - Universal Champion graphics and dumb conspiracy theories in 2019. Vince McMahon is never going to scratch those itches for you, and learning how to work around his company's flaws is the only way to true gratification.
