To all wrestling fans is it just me or is wwe really going down hill?

Question

I think that it has been going down for a few years now. Ever since they broke up Evolution. Yesterday's Raw was so boring. I think that Vince is in trouble. He is losing a lot of wrestlers to ECW and TNA. He doesn't have many new ideas. He's also raising the prices for things way too high. He is getting so deperate that he is reforming all the old wwf tagteams. If they don't get new talent,new storylines and new ideas they are gonna be in serious trouble. What do all of you wwe fans think?

Answer 1

Yes, WWE is going down hill. Think about it, WWE is bringing back old WWF stables like DX, Hardy Boyz, and Brothers of Destruction, there running out of ideas. They are so desperate there bringing celebrities to their shows, like K-Fed and people actually think that the John Cena vs. K-Fed match is going to be good. boring... Bringing back ECW was a dumb idea because it is still owned by WWE and it is not true to the original, all they did was waste more money...on crap! I think another reason that the WWe is getting boring is because they don't some of their wrestlers. what happended to the crusierweight division? I think Gregory Helms (the Hurricane) still has it because noone is challenging him. WWE focuses more on talking, gimmicks, and the fans reaction(shock value), than the wrestling itself. WWE needs new storylines, new talent(they probaly do have some talented wrestlers but WWE tends to hold them back) and make good matches.

Answer 2

Yes it does appear to be going down hill. Alot of the old school fans of the Attitude Era and before feel the same way. To these fans all the new upcoming talent suck basically. They eiher have really bad gimmics or they cant wrestle. It does seem like the WWE is somewhat loosing its hold on the wrestling industy abit but its quite the opposite. Smackdown a couple of weeks ago hit an all time high in viewership. The ECW brand (witch you do mistake for being a seperate entity, when it is not. It was bought out by the WWE in 2002 along with the WCW. ) continues to grow in ratings weekly. Their beginning to add more future talent to the show such as Bobby Lashley.
TNA is beggining to grow in popularity in Orlando with the coming of Kurt Angle, and Christian, and Rhyno.

Hey the WWE has some good new talent as well as some bad. I believe that Johnny Nitro, Bobby Lashley, and Jimmy Wang Yang have very bright futures ahead of them.

Ohh yeah, and I hate the 60 yr old WWE legends coming back to. Its areally stupid idea. I mean it would be cool if the could still fight, but God they cant. Get freakin Dusty Rhodes out of the ring and put him in aretirement home Jeez.

Answer 3

I watched in the Attitude Era, and as a high schooler and even my first couple years of college, I wasn't feeling the dick and fart jokes of E&C, DX, Stone Cold flippin everyone off and drinking beer. 6 man Hell in the Cell Matches. The Rock was the single most entertaining part of WWF back then. Today wrestling is still top notch, you have the resurgence of Smackdown putting on great matches every week, you have the newbies of ECW trying to make a name for themselves, Raw has a fantastic mid card, with Kofi, MVP, Bourne, Swagger, Miz, and so on. Yes though I am not a kiddie I still think it's very good now, but we are in a different era not just in WWE but in life period. Back then Tupac was still alive and Gangsta Rap was alive and well now the rappers are a lot calmer now and talk about love instead of killing each other. Movies like Natural Born Killers and Brave Heart was the norm. Now we have movies like Pineapple Express and Wanted. Like Flair, Hemsley, Orton, and Batista... it's called Evolution! HA! I bet they had the same conversation when the Golden Age of Hulk Hogan and the HonkyTonk Man was over. Back then you were the kiddies saying "it's still good, WWF is the best its ever been, Gold Dust rules!" yes Gold Dust was a huge part of the Attitude Era

Answer 4

Yes, WWE has gone down hill. The only reason why is they are trying to make ratings anyway they can. First and foremost they fire or release or just let wrestles resign with any type of heads up for the fans or a good reason why they left. They really went down hill when they kept using Eddie Guerrero in storylines putting his name in the dirt and having Rey or Benoit to not let his name go in the dirt. There storylines don't really wow unless it envolves a certain character. They need more titles to comeback out of the graveyard such as the European title, maybe make women's titles for each brand or make more titles for ECW. But as for TNA, WWE does much better than them. I mean TNA looks for faker than WWE and their acting is very garbage.

Answer 5

First of all,WWE owns ECW.So if some WWE wrestlers went to ECW,he is not losing any wrestlers.Kurt Angle went to TNA so WWE really lost him.Yesterdat's RAW was quite awesome,the ladder match was good and all the Survivor Series' team fought each other was awesome.Since you said that they are bringing in old tag teams and it will kill the WWE,then,wouldn't it be bad,if WWE brought back Evolution?Bringing back Team Xtreme is a good idea.

Answer 6

i think it could be you casue there is nothing big enough to compare to wwe sicne wwe bought wcw oh and ecw by the way was funded by vince when heyman owned it and vince owns it now tna cant compare to wwe cause most tna guys were in wwe except the guys from the indys and sting wwe had christian rhino nash hall dudleys (brother ray devon and runt in tna) jesse james and kip james were new age outlaws in wwe and they lost out.

Answer 7

It's only going downhill because they don't have any real competition and Vince can get away with putting out shitty shows every week.

Also, I don't know if you knew this or not, but Vince OWNS ECW, so he's hardly "losing wrestlers" to them.

Answer 8

YEP DEFINITELY

Its not like how it use to be with my favorite wrestlers The Big Bossman, Hulk Hogan, and Sting. WCW Saturday Night was my favorite.

Answer 9

ecw is still a part of wwe because they buy it out but I got to agree with you on that one it was so boring.They need to step up and if Vince does not do so very soon or should I say now he is going to be in real trouble.

Answer 10

One word: K-Fed.. or Fed-ex.. what the hell?! is he THAT desperate? geez! It's like the same thing over and over again.. I basically stopped watching all together, as soon as things begin to heat up once again, i'll start watching.. because other than that, i don't think i'd like to see that loser Kevin Federline's broke a s s.
