[LWC]

I did not buy a single PPV in 2010. The only one that I was going to buy was Wrestlemania, but with being out of town at the time, it was not in the cards.

I love the Miz. Or should I say, I love that WWE is giving the Miz the chance to headline. It was months ago when a thread was started about WWE and how bad it had gotten. What I was critical of WWE is that their storylines and main-event guys were stale. I felt that Nexus was a very possitive move by the company, but felt they had to be willing to let others take the ball and either fail or succeed.

The WWE got into the mindset that they thought they were going to force onto the fan the WWE star. Wrestling has never been successful that way. It is the fan that makes the heels and the faces, and ultimately the stars.

Stone Cold is a great example of the fans refusing to make him a heel. The WWE wanted Austin to be the ultimate heel so they could have their ultimate "good guy", Bret Hart extinguish him, just like in the generations of old. Hogan was the ultimate good guy and the WWE created heels for him to vanquish. When Hart was the champion, the fans grew tired of the Hart/Michaels rivalry and the WWE had to have someone new. Austin was supposed to be that guy, but the fans dictated something different. If you remember, not just did Austin become the most popular wrestler ever, the fans turned Hart, he was one of the most popular wrestlers ever, into the ultimate heel. And it was Hart who was the eat your vitamins, say your prayers and play by the rules character.

I love how everyone say's that they hate Cena, Miz, CM Punk. That's awesome! Hate them, because when you hate them, they are doing their job! They are supposed to either make you Love or Hate them. The guy who fans could care less about, meaning they don't love or hate, has a name in the industry - JOBBER!

I agree with all of what you said, but REALLY agree with the bolded. Fans have always dictated the pop of a wrestler. WCW tried to do great things with Lance Storm, but he never got over with fans. WWE tried really hardly with the Masterpiece, but fans didn't react to him. Your right, you have to love them or hate them.

Also, have you ever noticed that WWE never tries to start a gimmick in Canada? Their fans pretty much like whoever they want, whether they are heel or face. I love it! :lmao: I remember they booed John Cena and the Rock when they were big time babyfaces.

CM Punk is a great personality for wrestling. Remember he was an underground legend. People LOVED him. He has quickly became one of the best heels in the WWE. Truly talented!
