[quote name='Demolition Man']My beef with the WWE is that they continue to have top notch talent and the full capability to have nothing but solid shows every week. Yet we keep getting crap angles (Vince vs God), crap talent (Jamal, Mark Henry), and so on and so forth. I really wish the WWE could be better than what we are getting. Its not like as if I hate the WWE just for the sakes of hating the WWE but when the product is bad then I'll call it out as the way I see it.
Yet I keep giving the WWE chance after chance despite vowing never to watch I think more out of hope that someday Vince might snap and realize that he needs to turn his product around.
I guess as a wrestling fan even I must endure the shit times before things get better. Its the only thing I can really do outside of working in the business itself.... wait a second... anyone think I could possibly do that? It might be fun to work backstage such as booking/writing or even doing play by play announcing? Odd thought as I'm writing this but hell.... thinking never hurts now does it?

I'm curious just what the hell you think you've exhibited on this forum to show yourself employable, much less an employee of a professional wrestling company.
I can only hope that your jadedness towards the WWE's product stops harming you. I feel that I, with few exceptions, have stopped getting worked up about a
ing television show. Now, Monday night wrestling is an addiction I started in 1989, so I understand that my behavioral patterns belie me. However, it's taken some time, but I'm getting over myself in terms of being pissed about WWE or TNA programming.
Do I have to like it? Of course not. I reognize Vince versus God to be what it is, and six months ago would have written a scathing diatribe, of which seven whole people would read, about everything that's wrong with the WWE and how they're ruining professional wrestling. Now? Eh, while I know it's crap, I've taken a daoist approach to wrestling: there's nothing I can do to stop the flow of crap, so why get bothered by something as predictable as the sun rising and falling during the day?
I think the issue that many take with you is your admitted TNA bias. That's fine, I like to support underdogs too. However, you encompass this in a dialogue that reeks of your perpetual willfull ignorance of TNA's problems. Yeah, you don't like Scott Steiner. You won't follow that to the very next step, where TNA is relying on proven winners in the past, and wrestlers who were popular 3-7 years ago, to boost their ratings. They are going for the same demographic as WWE: the traditional dumbass wrestling fan who reacts to names and entrance music (sorry guyver), rather than moves. Now, yes, they have Samoa Joe, but that does not grant them absolution for everything.
In the end, you come across as a political pundit: you're more than happy to write a 1000 word essay on why the party you're opposed to stinks, but offer only a flippant admittance of the *same exact* shortcomings of the party you align yourself with (there was a clip of Ted Kennedy on Meet the Press last week doing just that when he was confronted with video footage from 1962 stating something that contradicted what he thinks today). By wearing your allegiance on your sleeve, it's hard to take you seriously. That's all.
You have a better chance to get into the biz if you drop the snacks, hit the gym, get mediocre and then suffer a career-ending injury than if you continue to post diatribes online. The latter career path will get you nowhere, unless you want to be Dave Scherer. And, if you prefer that lifestyle, then you do get the fringe benefit of having your mother do your laundry twice a week. I suppose that's nice.
EDIT: Your spelling and grammar are dogshit.
