I can't believe the WWE. Not just how they handled ECW and all the opportunity they've had with it, but just in general.
I hate having the feeling that if I were at the helms of the company (or at least one brand with a couple of other writers) I can progress the company leaps and bounds.
Watching WWE (or anything post-2000) is like watching a 3rd grader mess up their homework. You know that 9x4 is 36 but you can't do anything as they struggle to find the right answer.

of course, everyone thinks they can do better.
However, we do not actually know that we can for sure,
The answer is not static, like the multiplication analogy used. It is impossible to know what will catch the audiences attention, or actually improve the overall product in terms of money production or ratings/buyrates in a meaningful way.
This probably sounded better in my head... but whatever...

The explanation on how to find the answer is a lot more complicated than just giving the child the answer.....The problem with it is, and actual studies have been done on this, is rather than teaching them why it's the answer, you just tell them it is. Teach things by route/

I was promised a funny analogy in here, yet I see nothing.

All I know is that if you type 58008618 into a calculator and turn it upside down it spells something to amuse any 11 year old.

Y'see, WWE is like Jello pudding... no, that's not it. WWE is like Kodak film... no, that's not right neither. I've got it, WWE is like the new Coke - it'll be around forever.

WWE is doing great, they sell merch and get marks behind the people they want to. They are doing horrible at giving actual Wrestling fans what they want

Sure you could fix a couple things and have a few ideas for a couple months, but in a year or two it wouldnt be that easy...

I'm the foreman of a metal warehouse in charge of ten guys. It's often a chore to keep all ten working safely and happily and get the desired amount of product out the door.
But I'm sure I could step in and run a multi-million dollar company I know nothing about, filled with dozens of ego-driven musclemen that puts on two nationally broadcast shows a week and tours the world almost non-stop. Piece of cake.
If any of us could run a major wrestling company, I'm sure we'd be doing it by now. Unless that damn DX really is keeping us all down.
