Impetus<\/a>: Butthurt wrestling fans flood social media with their displeasure of latest WWE product, make major outlets like TIME actually think WWE is in trouble.<\/span><\/p>\nThe WWE\u2019s going to be fine.\u00a0 They\u2019ll weather the age of insufferable (social media) as they weathered the age of steroids, the age of reality, the age of competition, and every other age that they\u2019ve ever had to weather.<\/span><\/p>\nAs much as I hate to cite those obnoxious \u201cKeep Calm\u201d sayings, it actually rings true when it comes to wrestling fans, primarily those that only pay attention to the WWE; they simply need to keep calm and trust in Vince, because one way or the other, the company is going to survive this, they\u2019re going to adapt, and they\u2019re going to make it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But for the sake of having something to write about, let\u2019s write about what would happen if the fans truly had the keys to the WWE; after all, every fan that spouts off on Twitter clearly knows more than a company that has earned legitimate billions throughout its existence, and that clearly can be done with monkeys in the drivers\u2019 seats.\u00a0 So what would happen if\u00a0real, intelligent<\/em>, and\u00a0smart<\/em>\u00a0fans ran the business with their litany of brilliant ideas?<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Daniel Bryan would die<\/strong>.\u00a0 Without question, Daniel Bryan would perform every single night, multiple times on televised shows, and used on every single live event\/house show.\u00a0 Today\u2019s fans are rightfully obsessed with Daniel Bryan, and understandably so, but they also seem to realize that the guy is coming off of neck surgery, and hasn\u2019t even rehabbed for an entire year.\u00a0 The man is already in pretty rough shape from a lengthy career of wrestling, taking bumps and doing stretching his physical limits, but the fans are going to demand more Bryan, and with more Bryan, the more he\u2019s going to rapidly deteriorate, and it\u2019s only a matter of time before he dies from simple overexertion.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Likely to someone like Kevin Steen, or whatever he\u2019s going by in NXT right now, because the fans are all gotten the mass opinion that the NXT roster (WWE\u2019s developmental federation) is vastly superior to the current WWE roster, and if they were in charge would inevitably\u00a0call up all NXT performers to the big leagues<\/strong>.\u00a0 And since all WWE superstars are shit, Daniel Bryan would be matched up against all of the NXT hotshots like Sami Zayn and Kevin Steen, who are good workers in their own right, but most of the time, guys are kept in developmental for varying reasons, some of which is simply the fact that their performance levels aren\u2019t quite par to what the WWE is looking for.\u00a0 And since smarks know that Kevin Steen can do a 450 splash, they\u2019ll demand that he bust it out in his match against Daniel Bryan, but because he\u2019s also a fat fuck, flipping and rotating 450 degrees before landing on a lightweight like Bryan will likely, kill him.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins will become paralyzed<\/strong>.\u00a0 Both are tremendous workers, incredibly over with the fans as the biggest face as well as the biggest heel.\u00a0 Reportedly, the two of them have been \u201creprimanded\u201d at various points for essentially being too good in the ring; sounds asinine, but in an industry of frail egos as wrestlers, it\u2019s important that there\u2019s somewhat of a consistent status quo of performance that needs to be gravitated around, and it doesn\u2019t help locker room morale when particular individuals shine too brightly and make everyone else around them look dull in luster, comparatively.\u00a0 But with the fans in charge, the shackles would undoubtedly be taken off, and it\u2019s only a matter of time when two hotshots who live to steal the show, are paired up against each other and have 27 minute matches where the two try and out duel the other with higher and higher risk, and before you know it, there will be a botched Frankensteiner off the top off a scaffold that goes through Hell in the Cell, and both guys end up paralyzed and their careers end.<\/span><\/li>\n
- John Cena, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and anyone considered too big, \u201cforced.\u201d or \u201chogging the main event\u201d will become instantaneous jobbers.<\/strong>\u00a0Not only will they suddenly lose every match they\u2019re in, the fans will demand the rebooting of third-tier programming such as\u00a0Heat<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Jakked<\/em>\u00a0for them to have an appropriate place to have their talents and efforts wasted in.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Damien Mizdow becomes world champion until it\u2019s decided that he\u2019s too big<\/strong>.\u00a0 And when the fans grow tired of Mizdow, they\u2019ll quickly turn their backs on him, and in a twist of irony, the guys the fans will have relegated to the lower card will find appreciation and acceptance in purgatory, and in a moment of Schadenfreude, the writers will be able to suppress guys like Cena, Reigns and Orton, much to the dismay of the WWE universe.<\/span><\/li>\n
- The WWE would probably go under<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>Let\u2019s be real, if the fans were in charge of the WWE, everyone they liked would be worked to literal death, storylines would become unnecessary and arbitrary, developmental would cease to exist because they\u2019re considered ready, and the fans would get bored.\u00a0 The company\u2019s assets would burn out, die or be overworked to uselessness, the product would subsequently suffer, and it\u2019s a matter of time before the entire endeavor stops becoming profitable.\u00a0 The reason the wrestling business model works is because it\u2019s always in a state of leaving the viewers wanting more, regardless of if they agree or disagree with the product, but if fans were given everything they ever wanted, there\u2019s little reason for them to continue to tune in, or continue vesting interest.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
It\u2019s really that simple, and it\u2019s really not that big of a deal.\u00a0 The wrestling industry has always been criticized for one reason or another, and this legion of disgruntled fans is only a big deal now, because of the strength and presence of social media, and the general ease of accessibility of the WWE and all its superstars.\u00a0 Fans boo because they\u2019re expected to cheer, and they cheer when they\u2019re expected to boo.\u00a0 It\u2019s a current age of insufferable, and people want to play back against those they feel are trying to play them.<\/span><\/p>\nRegardless, they need to calm the fuck down and stop trying to take the company over, because when the day is over, they\u2019d simply ruin it if they all got what they were clamoring for, and that\u2019s simply not what\u2019s best for business.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Impetus: Butthurt wrestling fans flood social media with their displeasure of latest WWE product, make major outlets like TIME actually think WWE is in trouble.
