So, its actually 1.25am here in Sydney, AUSTRALIA - and im having trouble sleeping.
Thought i would log on to wwe.com, and check if anything new and exciting has happened....and i was dissapointed :(
I thought i might post a debatable blog about how dissapointed i am in WWE as of late. Ive actually been watching TNA over the last couple months, and have found it a rather good alternative.
So What are the PROS and CONS in my opinion of WWE? ( As of 1st September 2008 and is subject to change - providing that WWE actually do something about it! lol)
This is just a brief... not all my opinions will be here.
These are my own personal reasons what i personally think the strengths and weaknesses are in the WWE- but before i proceed please allow me to say that i respect the WWE greatly and i am a loyal longtime fan and will always continue to be.
PROS - WWE
- The company has been around for a long time
- It has funds backing the company up - its not going to go bankcrupt or out of business anytime soon and that is great for the shareholders
- The McMahons have wrestling in their blood (expericed staff = better success)
- WWE have alot of good talent (Superstars)
- Excellent business marketing and advertising
- Variety in terms of products
- Variety in terms of storylines (to an extent)
- The WWE travel world wide for the fans
- Assistance in community projects, campaigns and charities
- The "Wellness" program for the Superstars
- 2008 WWE Draft this year was highly organised and alot of good decisions were made
- WWE.com Fan Nation - Excellent idea for fans
CONS - WWE
- Entertaining Storylines over the last 2-3 years have dramatically dropped and are so boring compared to the attitude era of WWF/E in the late 90's early 00's
- On an outside perspective, it seems WWE these days are more for profits than fan satisfaction
- Lack of utlising Superstars talent
- Wrestling moves and in the ring performances as of late are boring and a bit to safe for my liking
- Athletism of some of the superstars have reduced significantly
- Where are the TLC and Hardcore matches?
- By the way, Where did the hardcore championship go?
- How about a championship for cruserweights?
- How about a female tag team championship?
- The Divas are not being utilised affectively
- The Divas are more about selling sex than selling wrestling
- Superstars and Management personal lives affecting the WWE's shows and image in a negative way
- The tickets to the shows are really expensive
- Where did the "attitude era" go? (Thats what brings in the ratings!) Bring in better storylines WWE?
- Every WWE product now comes with a price tag
- WWE is now more commercial, which is great in terms of business and revenue, but what about the common goal of fans and the business - that being the actual live shows and entertainment?!
- Championship matches always have the same wrestlers, is that fair?
Thats all i can think about right now. I'll probably add more stuff later.
What do you think? Dont hesitate to comment.
