Can I get an Amen?

Sometimes we all get things that we wish for at some point in time, but how often do we ever acknowledge the fact? For some people, they’re just never content with anything. If you’ll continue to read, you’ll see what I mean.

A while back there was a huge post war going on our forums that claimed that the WWE Heavyweight Title has lost it’s value, mostly because it was passed back and forth every month or less and that the WWE doesn’t care about the fans and how they never listen to what we want, I will admit that I have made a lot of noise over that as well. So what happened? We see Triple H win the belt and hold it religiously; I’m talking about NO LOSSES for nearly a year, running over challenger after challenger. Now I will admit that I wasn’t a big Triple H fan and posted one bitch after another on the boards, I couldn’t stand the fact that he was being showcased over and over and over again. Same promo every week and same outcome, Hunter retains the belt. I admit it, I was bored and pissed that he was on top and being shoved down our throats week in and week out. So looking back, everyone made a good bit of noise about Hunter and how he continued to dominate the company.

Now for the truth.

The fact is, after all the people bitched and complained,(and again, I am one of them) that he was holding everyone down, not willing to put anyone over and how he was only holding the belt for that length of time because he was marrying Stephanie, something else happened. He dropped the belt, and started working with other guy’s in the company, but was that good enough?

NO!

This is not a knock on anyone, but how can we say that WWE does not listen to the fan base when they have given us more than what we acknowledge. We wanted longer title reigns, we got them. We wanted to see new talent get a shot, they gave it to us. Hunter has taken the back seat for the past 5 months and let Benoit have his day, not to mention work to give Nick Dinsmore a credible outing at the biggest PPV of the summer. But it didn’t stop there, a guy called Randy Orton, who Hunter helped mold and escalate as part of Evolution was given the stage as leader of the company.

The WWE still has tons of work to do to get back on track, and while they may not fall at our every request, there are instances where they have taken our input and executed it, maybe not in a way that we wanted, but they have taken the input.

Now if they will just open their ears and fire Jerry “Jacko” Lawler, there would probably be zero criticism and fans could bear watching Raw on Mondays.

PS. Bischoff is an asshole, fire him too!
