There's obviously a section of fans like this, yeah, but I think it's tiny compared to the section that despises the company for perfectly legitimate reasons. And I don't think there's anyone in this topic that belongs to that first section.

Those two things aren't separate. You can despise WWE as a company for perfectly legitimate reasons and go into a Wrestlemania ready to, or even wanting to, shit on it even though the show itself might be excellent. You can also detach your disgust for the company from the shows they put on (as many are still doing).

War nailed it earlier really. People show up to WWE shows partly to chant CM Punk as a way of sticking it to WWE, even while giving them money.

I don't doubt a non negligible amount of people pick out complaints because they're unique complaints but I doubt it's the majority, particularly for a product like WWE where the numbers don't lie and people are leaving watching it in droves

Certainly isn't the majority but it doesn't help discussion at all. If you missed a Raw and them see a topic trashing it for 5 or 6 different reasons from different people, you might think that's pretty bad. But if it's 12 or 13 different reasons you'll think it was diabolically bad. Regardless of the fact that the extra 6 or 7 reasons were mountains out of molehills or vain affectations.

This really sounds like "I see complaints I don't agree with and so I just assume people are just making them up to complain about something, so you're at fault"

Funny you should say this. I once told PB1 to chill out in one of these topics because I felt he was forcing criticism and made that exact same statement - that WWE give you enough reasons, why stretch to find more? And you agreed. I specifically remember this.

You both seem to be tied to the idea that this is something only WWE fans do. It happens all over. And I don't necessarily think it's a conscious lie, more a sort of forced truth? Like chances are if you're desperately stretching to make up a new criticism you disliked the show anyway. So WWE put on a show this person disliked. It was just the reason they posted was forced. Or the extent to which it is problematic was exaggerated.

StealThisSheen posted...

Like, you're acting like just because some people might complain just to complain, that somehow makes most of the complaints invalid and it absolves WWE of most of the blame. That's pretty ridic.

Hoooooly shit ok there's obviously been a breakdown in communication here

that somehow makes most of the complaints invalid

Definitely not and I'd be interested to know where you're getting that from

and it absolves WWE of most of the blame.

Again, no, since I've called WWE bad or dumb like a dozen times itt

What's "ridic" here are your attempts to paint me as some kind of WWE shill. Talk about stretching and contriving.

Look, my basic point right now is: there is a definite section of fans that go out of their way to shit on WWE as a company and approach the company with an extremely negative mindset. That this has happened is mostly WWE's fault for being such a shitty company, but it exists nonetheless.

Do you disagree with that? I didn't think that was a particularly controversial idea. The stuff about forcing criticism is just an offshoot of approaching it with a negative mindset.

You are literally Vince McMahon. You don't understand no matter how many times it's explained to you that other people don't like everything you do. Other people aren't lying or making shit up just because they criticize something you didn't think was that bad.

Again. This isn't a WWE-exclusive phenomenon and I'd point you to Game of Thrones or The Last Jedi as further examples of contrived internet criticism for a popular piece of media.

Like remember that little fight Rey and Luke had in The Last Jedi where Luke absolutely clowned her in like under 10 seconds flat but she pulled her lightsaber on him? People were so fixated on criticising the movie and its "feminist agenda" that they used that scene as an example of Rey being "OP" even though she was thoroughly beaten.

Or when a sports team is doing badly, people will start trying to come up with new reasons why because the most obvious ones have already been taken. Is that not something you've ever encountered? I don't think attacking me as if I'm some propagandist when I'm actually saying WWE are bad and that this is something all internet fans tend to do is constructive.

I also haven't gotten into other things WWE fans do that are distasteful such as the "we are awesome" chant or the Iron Man countdown or half the shit NXT fans do. So yeah certainly not ridiculous to criticise WWE fans...and not even new? I've seen plenty of that in these topics over the years.

What kind of state would the women's division be in right now if they hadn't signed Rousey and fallen completely ass-backwards into Lynch getting hot?

See this sums it up to me

WWE are stupid and dumb but they are either partly or wholly responsible for both of those things. "They signed Rousey" - so don't they, y'know get the credit for signing Rousey? "Lynch getting hot" - Lynch took the ball and ran with it, absolutely, but WWE put her in a title match at Summerslam and when Lynch turned heel built a long-term angle with Charlotte. Like they didn't turn her heel for her to do nothing. There was a plan in place, and then Becky exceeded expectations. So while Becky deserves tremendous credit, WWE at least gave her the platform for that. They gave her the airtime and the segments and the promotion and those videos on YouTube.

To answer your question, the women's revolution would have been about the same as the men's roster: oversaturated, bogged down by rematches and poor writing. Which is what the goal was the whole time, no?

All I'm going to say is that there is absolutely no reason why any fan of anything should have to suffer through something as awful as those 3-on-3-on-3 storylines that went on for months and be expected to wait and see.

It's about the language that is used.

It's 100% fair to deem the 3-on-3-on-3 segments garbage without declaring the entire women's revolution a disaster when it's nowhere close to being done. Those are two separate things.

Likewise declaring Almas a failure in WWE is wrong at this moment in time. He is currently failing. He has not yet failed.

And to me that second one isn't even about positivity or negativity. I don't really care about Almas and whether he succeeds or fails. But I certainly wouldn't say he's failed on the main roster just yet. If WWE ended right now, his career thus far on the main roster would have been a failure, but that isn't going to happen. To me, in Almas' case he hasn't truly failed until he's released or dropped down to NXT having made no impact.

So yeah to me it's more about extreme language and sweeping statements. Moderate and don't go too far in the criticism.

Idk I think we came to a compromise there. I blame WWE, I just don't think fans should be absolved of blame too. The vanity of smarks wanting their own complaints to stand out leads to extra criticisms that either don't matter or that are outright lies.

Like the crowd during the iron man match were so annoying and it was a shitty thing to do. But I totally get why they'd want to shit on WWE as a company.

Do you watch Game of Thrones? Go to the TV board when GoT is on and you'll see another example of what I'm talking about. The amount of absolutely bonkers, contrived criticisms people come up with is truly insane. And I think it's because they see how the big, obvious ones have already been taken. So boo GoT for some poor writing, but boo GoT fans for their sheer vanity.

This perception that "smarks" go out of their way to hate on WWE is so ridiculous. They don't have to go out of their way - WWE really is that bad. They insult their audience's intelligence almost every minute and hate being even associated with the word "wrestling."

Smarks absolutely, absolutely do this. There can't be any debate about that. It's not a phenomenon exclusive to WWE either. Basically: everyone wants their own hate to stand out. When you go to a message board to vent you'll often find that somebody has already made your specific complaint. Or many people have. So what do you do then? Become another voice, lost in the crowd? Or do you force a new complaint? One that is contrived and desperate but that gets swallowed by the crowd because they really want any excuse to criticise the WWE at that time?

And since WWE does do so much dumb shit and they do create so much content to be criticised, there's a lot of chances for that to happen.

I'm surprised really that this is even an argument people would want to make - the notion that hardcore smarks are a problem is not something ridiculous and certainly not some new idea. That's not to absolve WWE of blame because they are a tremendously shitty company. They just also have a fair share of toxic, negative fans.

Edit: you're right that people don't have to go out of their way to hate on WWE but they do anyway. WWE gives people loads of free criticisms but when you see 50 different people making that same criticism, you want to create your own. Hence, they will "go out of their way" to come up with a new one. This happens with virtually anything on the internet.

Example of "wait and see" working: women's revolution. The initial 3-on-3-on-3 thing with the Bellas was dreadful and went on for months. People claimed the revolution had failed and that it had been a disaster. However, it was ultimately only a temporary thing and it led to the women having probably the MotN at Wrestlemania.

It's their fault for overreacting to relatively innocuous things and making mountains out of molehills. That's the whole point. WWE booking can be bad and dumb but smarks exaggerate just how bad it is and just how often it's that bad.

I just can't wrap my head around the wait-and-see attitude that fans still have for WWE booking. What have they done in the modern era to deserve that benefit of the doubt? Hell, what have they done ever?

I think smarks are the people who created this mentality because of the determination to jump to the worst, most negative possible conclusion.

Because WWE do dumb shit all the time, but it doesn't generally end up being quite as bad as people say it's going to be.

So you have something happen, people say "this will be shit. Thing x will happen now and it's just going to get worse and worse and worse". And then inevitably slightly cooler heads say "well hold on maybe it won't". It's a more relaxed response to over the top, vitriolic, silly, senseless bile hurled WWE's way that often makes zero sense.

And Rock is definitely 100% not innocent in that, that kind of hyperbolic negative reaction - I don't think anyone is. But when people are so perpetually down on WWE that they instantly assume the absolute worst all the time it's pretty natural to say "wait and see". Because often the "wait and see" crowd have a point insofar as it's not quite as shit as you might have said.

I was enthusiastic about an all-female Ghostbusters cast and I thought Ghostbusters 2016 was as bad as everyone said it was. it's ok if you liked it though. that's the part that everyone misses

Yeah and this is the thing. A 2016 Ghostbusters remake being not good according to some people is nothing shocking. A huge amount of Hollywood content is bad to mediocre. But because it's an all-female cast, the movie is bad because of the political stuff. Not because it's a Hollywood rehash and there's a reasonably low success rate with those.

Like just as a random comparison of two of said rehashes, I liked Ghostbusters a little bit more than, say, The Man From UNCLE, but that's just me. But Ghostbusters being "bad" means it's the fucking antichrist, while Man From UNCLE just gets to be another mediocre Hollywood rehash.

Nah I watched them because they both had reasonably good casts, especially in O8's case, and I like both original properties.

And neither of them were as good as the original, but they were both reasonably fine. I will say though that Hemsworth stole the show in Ghostbusters which kind of undercut the political point, but again - who the fuck cares. Just choose not to care.

"The political stuff is the only reason to watch those movies" is a fucking ludicrous statement. It's a fun heist/ghost flick. Overcomplicating it is pointless.
