Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted November 5, 2002 I mean seriously, what other business openly expresses hatred toward their customers? Not only do they NOT listen to us, but when they do, it's to tell us to "shut up and like what you're told."? Even if we're not the majority (a debatable point) we are a large percentile. I mean do any of the wrestlers in the WWE LIKE talking to fanbs anymore? I know Arn Anderson and Fit Finlay are very polite, but every other worker seems to hate us with a passion. I think it's because WE are the only feedback they get, and it ain't pretty. Unlike Vince's yes men, we don't pull punches, we don't suger-coat failures, and we sucessfully predict creative busts before they happen. The WWE hates us because they know we're right.

Guest Super Pissed Smark Report post Posted November 5, 2002 They're just tired of having to answer for things they have no control of. They all know they're fucked until something happens to bust open the loggerhead of the handful of people at the top of the company who are running things into the ground, but there's really nothing they can do about it themselves. And the people at the top are obviously too caught up in their own personal brilliance to give any weight to what their customers actually want, and they don't have to answer to anyone but the head brilliantine, who though the corpse-fucking would turn things around. So they're screwed, we're screwed, he's screwed, it's just a whole big screwing thing, just the kind that doesn't draw ratings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted November 5, 2002 The WWE hates us because they know we're right. Yep, and they have the money to keep themselves in business long after we stop carring. Of course when half of their audience leaves, maybe they will finally listen, but I doubt it. What I find strange is they read us, they talk about us, they know we love the prodcut, but they wont talk with us. Why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vince carries ALL the control in that company. If a wrestler doesn't want to job, for example, Vince could conceivably send him home and sue him for breach of contract. These things with some wrestlers happen because Vince LETS it happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest IB2BLACK Report post Posted November 5, 2002 Who is this "we" & '"us"? You're never gonna be able to make everyone happy. Because that is simply, not possible.

Guest HartFan86 Report post Posted November 5, 2002 I just don't get why they bash the internet fans for the hell of it. Well, probably to stroke Vince's ego because he realizes will love his product forever. But do you ever hear about how we are loyal to his product? Oh fuck no.

Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted November 6, 2002 So what's Vince going to do when the day comes that he only has the IWC watching his stuff? After all the years of pissing on us then he'll only have us left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest buffybeast Report post Posted November 6, 2002 I just don't get why they bash the internet fans for the hell of it. Probably because the good majority of the writers and message board posters are always negative. They always complain and nothing is ever right. Also, I suspect the WWE looks at the IWC as a group of people who are stupid and don't know shit about wrestling, right or wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted November 6, 2002 I mean seriously, what other business openly expresses hatred toward their customers? The comic industry.... No, the comic industry says: "I know you said you don't like this, but now there's a new artist on it. So you'll like it now!" The WWE says: "Fuck you, we are always right, like what we tell you." The record industry says: "Whatever makes a buck. Whatever makes a buck. Whatever makes a buck." The difference: At least the comics industry makes an ATTEMPT an change, and the record industry switches around to see what amkes money. Vince KNOWS what we want and he doesn't care.
