So, all things considered, do you think I should give WWE another chance? I know that WWE isn't Satan.

It's basically what JBL and Heyman said on that new Network Show "Bring it to the Table," and no offense I'm not singling you out here.
But wrestling fans and especially internet wrestling fans like to bitch bitch bitch bitch and moan moan moan moan about virtually every segment of every piece of every WWE programming or booking decision or rumor they've heard or lie they've heard or theory they've heard or crowd response they were hearing on live TV or crowd response they didn't hear on live tv or crowd response they were a part of on live tv
Seriously we have people on these FAN forums simultaneously loving the "10!" chants and hating the "10!" chants. People who love Brock Lesnar and Goldberg's booking. People who hate Lesnar for being a part-timer. People who love the fact that Lesnar is a part-timer as it makes him a special attraction. People who think Goldberg being 50 is way too old for a main eventer in the WWE. People who think Goldberg is the best main eventer in the WWE today.
Your opinion will vary wildly. The WWE cannot possibly satisfy EVERY fan. There are people who love Roman Reigns, I know because I see their signs every week on RAW. I hear them cheer (but mostly boo) The Big Dog every week. For those people who apparently are still buying Reigns merch, the WWE will continue to push Reigns and keep him as the US Champ for the meantime.
I made a thread about me thinking the WWE is reading my forum posts here and I honestly am VERY satisfied with WWE programming at the moment. If my parents were thinking about giving me free 'Mania tickets, I'd take them in a heartbeat. Some people have taken a sabbatical on all things WWE, like my boss who used to be tight with CM Punk back in the day before he got big, and now has 'outgrown' the WWE primarily due to (in their eyes) horrible booking decisions and scummy business practices.
Anyway, long digression but back to "Bring it to the Table"-- Heyman is 100%. If you boycott the WWE, you have a right to criticize it. If you watch the WWE weekly, and buy tickets, and go to 'Mania, feel free to criticize it but you are a hypocrite and the WWE will not change anything whatsoever, because once they have your money you are telling them that you love what they're selling. Just because people 'boo' the live product, and really this is what has happened in the past 3 Royal Rumble Matches, it means NOTHING to the WWE. They all bought tickets to see the Rumble match, even if people hate the outcome or the actual match itself, buying a ticket is a tacit approval of everything that the WWE does. The people who boycott and protest WWE are the only people that have a voice as far as the WWE is concerned, and really the WWE could care less about boycotters too because they make so much money STILL that the negative voices are in the minority. Again, the WWE is the biggest game in town so my advice would be to try Lucha Underground or hell TNA, ROH or Wrestle Kingdom or literally anything else if you enjoy pro-wrestling but hate the company itself.
If enough people flock to another Federation, the WWE will have to change much like it did during the Monday Night Wars.

I'm with you there. I actually stop watching for awhile or just watch certain shows. I think they've got most of us by the balls when it comes to ticket sales though. As a wrestling fan, it's hard not to go to a show that's in your town if you have the money. I mean I stopped watching TNA in 2010 but still went to Hardcore Justice 2013 because it was a live wrestling show near my home.

I would definitely go to a local TNA show if I had the chance, and likewise I find myself being very critical of TNA because most of the time I boycott it due to hating the booking. I hate a lot of stuff about the WWE (a lot of it fixated on RAW's booking) but I'm a fan and the good outweighs the bad for me, however, so I still support it with my cash.
That can always change and to be honest a lot of my allegiance to WWE is riding on the Royal Rumble, it's always been my fave PPV every year and the past 3 years I simply haven't enjoyed it, and it leads to me not enjoying WrestleMania, and if you don't enjoy that it's hard to justify being a fan of the WWE, especially in the face of other alternatives.

Sorry, but if you feel so strongly about WWE being some evil Umbrella Corp that you don't want to give them money by buying a video game, robbing some life long fan of a seat at Wrestlemania seems awfully hypocritical. Yeah I have to agree with this. You're saying you don't want to give WWE any more of your money, but how tone deaf is this person that knows you for buying you wrestling tickets if that's how you feel? Is this maybe a present from you, to you?

Then I hope on behalf of every single person that tries to buy a ticket and they're sold out, or who simply can't afford one, or like me, could afford a ticket but can't afford the flight, that it re-ignites your passion for WWE and you become a fan again.

Btw, my sister and mother who offered me the tickets didn't know and still didn't know my stance against WWE. even though I am giving WWE a second chance, there is no guarantee that I will go to either event.
