FIRST. FIRE JBL. STOP TELLING VIEWERS FANS CHEER FOR WHO THEY USUALLY BOO. STOP MUTING FANS. Muting us shows how stupid WWE has become and how senile Vince McMahon and producer Kevin Dunn aka Bucky Beaver are. Jim Cornette can be thanked for that last comment.

The insanity of WWE’s decision making and direction right now is baffling to even the most casual of fans. They won’t listen, they troll fans at every turn, and it’s getting tiresome. Ratings are sagging again, 20 minute talking segments not helping, and rather than listing the figures here just Google them. This is an article of how WWE could stop screwing with the fans just to spite them and turn things around.

Bad guys getting cheered is a hint.

The Usos, once squeaky good guys, are getting cheered and I guarantee the WWE “writers” will fix that ASAP.

They are getting cheered because they have an edge, they are dangerous, and fans are dying for someone who is a certified bad ass. Roman Reigns isn’t that guy. John Cena wasn’t that guy. Fans want someone who is unpredictable and once again, dangerous.

Vince McMahon loves to tell his announcers to say stupidly damaging phrases over the headset. The worst ever is probably, “Love him or hate him he gets a reaction”. “Polarizing” is a term that this nation doesn’t need in its fantasy sports like wrestling. The people are divided heavily now because of the election and it would be nice to have a hero who deserves our support. Someone we can all agree on maybe? John Cena’s merchandising sales are the reason we have become subjected to his corniness for a decade.

There is such a disconnect between who McMahon wants as his top guy and who we want that it is almost to the point of ridiculousness.

The Fix? Roman Reigns is going to be Stephanie McMahon’s guy because it is Vince’s guy and they want him kissing babies and visiting children’s hospitals at all times. That’s great. That’s admirable. At what cost? You can have him do that and give us a trash talking, ass kicking, and edgy version of Reigns. Lose the stupid laser tag vest, which Vince reportedly will not let go because so many fans dislike it. He also believes it is a guaranteed merchandise seller. Merchandise > good TV apparently.

Ratings and lack of any creativity or hint of long term storytelling

TV is crap for WWE right now. The reasons for this are so obvious that it is baffling just what the hell WWE is doing with all of their “creative” team. How many times have you seen things that seem to be going one way, sometimes positive, and then all of the sudden the people involved are doing something with someone else out of nowhere. Last minute matches made before WrestleMania? Tell me – how can you be stupid enough to not have a match for the greatest performer since Shawn Michaels in AJ Styles. It is an embarrassment. He is “too Southern” according to reports from backstage for the McMahon family’s liking.

Here’s the booking formula they use:

Put two random people together and combine their names. JericKO, Rated RKO, Breezango, and I am surprised they don’t have Ambray. Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt.

Six man matches for the women because singles feuds are hard…

Have the popular stars lose. Sami Zayn, Bray Wyatt, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe, Miz, and everyone not named Strowman or Roman. Strowman Reigns. That’s coming when they tag. Strowman is more popular than Roman so they will pair Reigns with him like they did when Ryder was stuck with Cena. Bury, bury, bury, and then win a random big match. Repeat.

Oh and they completely wasted most of those guys which brings me to the most important point.

Road Dogg is a dumb ass and he exposed the real problem. WWE is SPORTS entertainment and not a TV sitcom.

Road Dogg stated on Twitter in a discussion with a fan that wins and losses don’t matter. What a freaking raging horrifyingly idiotic statement. Where to begin with this WWE belief?

Austin, Rock, Michaels, Hart, Hogan, and Randy Savage all had lots of wins and therefore lots of fans. Who the hell is going to get behind Bray Wyatt and believe him to be a threat when you have him lose the majority of the time? Bandwagons are frequently what teams are built on. Winning teams or sports figures make money and sense. So why in the hell is Vince McMahon letting Stephanie and creative decide that it doesn’t matter who wins or loses. People will love them either way? What if Austin was the only person winning matches during the hottest time in the business? You have one guy, Cena or Reigns today, that you can get behind if you like corny characters if creative has their way and Cena is gone to Hollywood. So…Reigns, then?

Seriously, how can someone so rich be so clueless. We want winners. We want people who wanna win. Until they get it through their heads that winners mean good business we are doomed to this muck we are watching today.

Yes it’s a rant because WWE has taken something so many of us love and made it a mockery. It’s frustrating and by all accounts intentionally frustrating so that, like sitcom TV, when we finally get it will be so much more appreciative. IDIOTS.

One more thing.

FIRE JBL
