So Cenas finisher is being re-named.And lots of TORCH fans dont like the
true to life angles that jeff hardy has now gone through.Its no wonder WWE
seems to lack one coherrent focus.Theyre trying to please the fans.And the
fans dont want kid friendly stuff and they dont want true to life angles
where they blurr the lines.So what do fans want?The crappy NWO garbage Tna
are trying to do?Attitude era stuff?where they have to constantly top each
outrageous moment with another and the focus isnt wrestling?No.Well do they
want straight forward wrestling?Just wrestling where
Danielson,styles,angle,Mcguiness just wrestle?Well if thats the case i
suggest go to a ROH show.Support them.Watch japan tapes.Other wise Stop
watching WWE.I for one want the kid friendly stuff to go out the window.I
want to be fooled.I want them to blurr the lines.I as an adult understand
its fake and storylines are meant to illicit heat so we hate heels and
support faces.

HEELS and SMARKS
The downfall of this era might
actually be fans like me.Wrestling was built in the beginning as a conflict
between two athletes.Whos better?Didnt make as much money as a rivalry
could.So it became good vs. evil.And it worked.It worked until my
generation.My generation decided it was the cool thing to like a jake
roberts,lets celebrate just not caring about things.Were slackers.Which
turned into I hate Hogan.I hate him being shoved down our throat.Lets cheer
the cool bad guys.Which almost put a halt on this business.Until ECW.Yeah
lets watch jackass and lets celebrate anti-heroes.NWO,Stonecold,DX.Lets
cheer faces who act like Heels.Now the business is stuck in between.When a
heel does something disgusting and vile were supposed to pay money to see
the face get retribution.Instead we sit there and talk about how a babyface
like Cena doesnt have the same move set as A.J. styles.So styles is better
right?No.Wrestling is about emotion and getting fans to invest in
characters.Ask jake roberts.There used to be an athletic challenge to
it.NWA.But at the end of the day who was flair selling for?Why?Because we
paid to see Luger,Dusty and sting all who shouldnt be allowed to carry his
jock pin him.In the end i prefer the joker to batman.Edge to cena.But its
because i appreciate the depth in evil.Its to easy to be good.But when we
sit there and say cuck fena are we taking the MAGIC we had as kids away
from the basic and casual fans?
