Agree with the statement about the general jeering, because:
1) I don't think it's fair to the better performers out there who are actually putting on a show.
2) If you're not going to actually react positively to said performances, they will be less likely to come back.
So yeah, we don't need to hear Husky Harris chants, and guys like Cesaro shouldn't have to deal with that kind of spillover. Concentrate it on those who we shouldn't be seeing.
I also agree with the comment about the quality of the roster. It is great in a general sense, and it has been for the last couple years.
The issue is though with how they handle said talent. They always misuse it. If they begin to utilize it properly, they'll just mess it up again in a month or two.
The issue is not with the talent atm, but how the WWE runs itself. If it doesn't fix itself internally from a managerial and writing perspective, they won't hit that theoretical boom that you mentioned.
I can't and don't bother to watch the product, and haven't done so in months. Over the last 8-9 years, I've tuned in sporadic spurts during the times when they seemingly let the talent do their thing. This is rare, and it always fades because someone somewhere is going to make sure they destroy the momentum.
I've hear sometimes in this thread the notion that the WWE is not stupid, and that they know what they are doing, and why they are doing it. This is the point that I wouldn't argue against the hardest.
For one, the people up top put their egos above all, and seeing their favourites succeed is more important than what the fans want.
Secondly, they look for profits from stagnant sources. They want to keep banking on familiarity, when drawing from that dry well is hurting the actual quality of the product. You keep throwing the Cenas and the Ortons of the world out at the top, people get tired. Sure they're guaranteed to drive in a decent buck, but that's a poor business model to follow. The goal should be to keep things fresh. Let the product speak for itself. Let the product follow its natural course more often, instead of forcing it down these narrow roads that lead nowhere. If you have an organic, enjoyable product that people can get behind, the product will sell itself, and the market for your product will expand.
They don't like giving the right talent the opportunities, and when they do they're far to quick to pull the plug and go back to status quo when the results are not immediate. They need to stay the course, show some patience, and see where these things get them.
They need to fundamentally change their mindset with the company before anything can happen. Otherwise they can continue trying to bank on jaded smarks and little kids and seeing how far that continues to get them. They won't hit that boom at that rate.
