What I don't get is if you don't enjoy current WWE why watch and post about it. I don't enjoy the current WWE product. So I don't watch it and rarely go into either WWE folder. I got piles of free time,but even then I don't feel like spending 5 or more hours a week watching a show I don't like.
Not when there is so much good non-WWE stuff to watch. We are in a great time. You got Lucha Underground on El Rey,NJPW on AXS and now MLW Fusion on BeIN Sports.
But then I don't get the people that watch Impact each week when they hate it. I actually enjoy Impact most weeks. So I watch it. But if I stopped enjoying it I would stop watching it.

Like I said I just don't get hate watching something. Not when it is so easy to legally watch other wrestling. Between the various channels that air stuff,youtube and other streaming options it is easier now than ever to watch wrestling.

Like seriously? One of the greatest of all time and people hated him? I was on message boards and in chat rooms during Attitude as a kid. There was a vocal portion of fans who could not STAND Rock. They said he was overpushed, that his move set was small, some of the stuff you hear about Roman now. The backlash Reigns gets today is much, much bigger, but yeah, I recall many people in the Fully Loaded 2000 crowd wanted Benoit to beat him.

I wonder if this is why they've always been so dismissive of this vocal part of the fanbase... Because they've been like this forever, even during the times when the company was actually successful in the mainstream and writing strong storylines like they were in 2000.

I'd argue there was a disconnect back then between the IWC and the live crowds. Rock was over like Rover. Same can't be said for now though. Reactions between the two are hand in hand these days.

I feel like there's a smaller, but different kind of disconnect these days. Yes, pretty much everyone agrees on the Reigns situation right now, but there are a heap of talents on that roster that still get fairly good reactions, that if you judge based on reading what is said in the fanbase, are supposed to be getting crickets because they've decided that they "don't care" because of bland character/no storylines/not pushed to be the ace/other reasons. Finn Balor, for example. That's not to say that those criticisms are wrong, but it's more to say that they're not dealbreakers to a large section of the audience that are still handing over their money to be at the shows.

The internet was more popular than it was in the late 90's but it still wasn't nearly as all encompassing as it is nowadays.

I've been back for a little bit now. When I had left, the big complaint about the board was too much negativity about the product, people bitch too much. Whatever. Honestly I just let that go. Ok so I come back after a few months, been a big shift in there and it's evened out that everyone is like ok yeah this is crap right now. So I guess people got bored without fighting eachother over the show and now they're on eachother on a personal basis. Personality politics. Moral issues. Semantics. Definitions of f***ing English words. People not being allowed to show optimism about people on a personal basis. People not allowed to show pessimism about ugly situations. Baiting. Some trolls who keep sneaking in. And this is just the last two days over like 3 threads. It's total damn mania in there and I'm about to throw my hands up, ban a whole SHIT TON of people on all "sides" of every issue (a good amount of posters I personally enjoy on both sides of these stupid ass "teams" included). I try to keep in the middle on these because of my role here. From that stance, I'm gonna hafta nuke the lot of ya just so that there can be some f***ing peace for everyone else. Here's a message to everyone... If y'all don't sort this out yourselves I'm going to do this my way and completely change the landscape of our userbase. I don't want to. So please, relax.

Back then the IWC was limited to a few forums and RSPW. Now the IWC is 20 times bigger.

I need a refresher. Is it cool to have a avatar/sig pic where someone gives the middle finger?

Did something happen to the complexion of the board? I'm struggling to see my notifications and messages because the board looks different.

Mine seems ok - I did get a PM from Proboards proper about changes in privacy policies, not sure if that would affect how the site looks
