The crowd has got to smart thanks to the internet and can now dictate what they want.
Vince wants to dictate who the fans should want and people are wise to it, that isn't the internet's fault, that's all on him for being so painfully blatant about it all, for making his will clear on commentary every time they talk about his guys, for booking them to win things without crowd support. Reign has burned through most of the things he can win without getting the main belt, only impressing on paper because the storylines he's been in are sub par, it's all on them because they never gave him time or the booking needed to get the fans on board before they set him off on this journey to the top, instead trying to make him stand taller by cutting down those around him.
The big thing I think with this go around is except for us die hards the casual audience has so many alternatives for entertainment. Part of that is due to three hours and another is the piss poor writing.
Vince is 70 years old. We saw it with his SCSA podcast that he doesn't get the audience. Russo basically talks about Vince not getting it in the attitude era. The only hope is Hunter, which is a frightening thought.
