I agree with that sentiment.

There should be a good balance between it though.

Give them control in terms of their character,storyline,promos and all that, but let the people higher up determine who wins/loses.

I don’t think they need control. I think they need input.

But the problem with input is that you might suggest things you've been thinking up forever just for them to be like "ya, we'll think about that" and just forget about it.

WWE says they hear their fans all the time, but hearing, listening and understanding are all different things.

I listened to the Ambrose interview and you can tell just how annoying everything is. I'm starting to see why so many stars are basically just going through the motions, competing in long matches with 0 purpose. That's the easy part. Trying to do anything with a character or story drives people insane because of all the stuff they have to put up with.

Reminds me of horrible customer service stories. Would you just put up with the stuff you got, or call them up, get redirected to 4 diff people before finally getting told to go in person to a store and have to spend more time trying to get stuff right? At some point you're just cant take that stuff and accept the easiest resolution and that's to just accept stuff how it is vs trying to get a possible better result.

Better than the last UFC lol.

There is a Forbes article talking about how they lapped WWE’s Money in the Bank PPV according to buyrate.

Reckon someone should tell Forbes that for $9.99 you can have all the PPVs? Cue Michael Cole to explain.

Is there anyone who even buys on PPV anymore? What would the reasoning even be to buy a WWE show on PPV over subscribing to the network? If you don't have unlimited internet usage, would $50 a month not be more than enough to add unlimited to your plan?

You live in the boonies/woods and have a **** internet connection so you can't rely on your phone, tablet, etc to not buffer constantly. Or look at the Tiger Woods vs Phil Mickelson match from last Thanksgiving. BR Live's streaming service was complete dog**** so they gave away the entire match for free and refunded those who bought it. There's 2 reasons right there to buy on traditional PPV over a streaming service.
