Honestly his demographics are off, how can he say we account for 10% of the Wrestling fan community. When 3 out every 5 families have the Internet?? It's not like a wrestling fan who logs on is oblivious to wrestling sites, or message boards. I agree with the Bandwagon effect he was talking about. When someone says they hate an individual, then others begin to follow suit. But he rejected the whole fact that people can be swede by an opinion in an objective way. The best way to explain this is how in school when you write a paper and you think it is flawless by reading it in first site. But then the Teacher can often times show you the flaws in your paper and then that is when you began to realize the flaws yourself. It opens your eyes farther than you could perviously see. He just seemed bitter, cause he was gullible enough to believe everything he read. I mean what is wrong with strong criticism?? I mean almost everything in the media is based on criticism. If the WWE was this serious critically acclaimed show like a "West Wing" or a primetime drama. Then the criticism would be 10 fold! I mean most fans are critical even without the net anyway. It's just the Net is the only medium in which fans can either read the criticisms, or make their criticisms. I mean its the WWE decision to decipher the good criticism, from the bad in the long run. They have to determine which criticism they listen to and the ones they don't. He made it seem like we are to blame, when in reality its the WWE who can choose to listen to us. I mean, he was pretty much telling us to shut up, in a nice way. It's ridiculous. If you can objectively read someone's opinion and can't form an opinion of your own, then your weak. That's not the Nets fault, or anyone else's. Like I said, he just sounds like a bitter fan who seems to not be able to form an opinion on his own. Then once he became a victim of listening to others opinion, he figured it out and decided to blame those he formed the opinion off of.



I respect his statements, but even in that article he came off very one sided. I mean there is always both sides to everything. I thought he of all people would know that. Afterall he did kinda bash the wannabe journalist on the net. He did the same thing they did, which served nothing but how hypocritical he was.



I know I'm probably the biggest hater of all time, but that is just the way I am. I do that to just about everything, from music, to entertainment etc. I don't get too high on things, or too low. But I don't say "Listen to me!" or "Agree with everything I say, when I say my opinions!" That's Bullish.



I think sometimes people (Including myself) opinions are one-sided, and they don't include a solution to the problem. But still my opinions are just that... MY OPINIONS! Not for someone to agree with necessarily. If you do then that is fine, but if you don't then that is fine also.



Take it in, and form an opinion of your own.



That is the moral of the story!





H-Wood Edit : By the way shout out to Audiophile, for a great topic. It's been a while since a topic has come along that I could really get into.
