Well I don't want to throw down another wall of text but since somebody did ask:

I missed this! What happened to break you?

I've been sour on them for a while but I think the epiphany came when the fans got blamed for what happened in Rollins/Ziggler.

I mean, those fans were dumb idiots. But WWE is 100% at fault for people wanting to hijack one or more of their shows. Ultimate blame for that happening lies with the company, not the crowd. You criticised the fans who chanted "Husky Harris" when Bray Wyatt debuted, but I see that kind of thing as a symptom of WWE constantly lowering the bar of decency to the centre of the earth. WWE were trying to sell us Bray Wyatt, and those fans rejected what WWE were selling because WWE are an enormous piece of shit of a company.

And I feel like everyone ITT knows that but it's sort of just accepted at this point. And that's the problem - everyone accepts that WWE are pieces of shit and just goes along with it. But then people almost forget that, because it's so accepted? Like how you forget that you're breathing, it just sort of happens automatically - WWE's tremendous shittiness is so readily accepted by everyone that it's naturally assumed in any conversation about wrestling. It goes unspoken, but then it's forgotten when stuff like the Rollins/Ziggler crowd happens. WWE are the only mainstream wrestling show in town and also pieces of shit, so people will simultaneously support them and dislike them.

I mean, look at the way they changed the Warrior award to be something completely different to what Warrior originally spoke about. Are fans thinking of that specific disgrace when they boo Rollins/Ziggler or when they chant Husky Harris? No, but it's just another shitty thing they've done and it contributes to the toxic cesspool that is perception of WWE - which leads to people simultaneously hating WWE and watching it/supporting it.

So basically - I saw yet another person blaming the fans for Rollins/Ziggler, and I had this weird snap of a realization that people maybe wouldn't pull shit like that if WWE weren't the fucking worst. Why shouldn't the show get hijacked? Why should the fans go along with what WWE wants when WWE are the fucking worst? And then I actually thought about that, because it's the kind of thing you just say in passing - that WWE are the fucking worst - and like I said, it's almost such a universally accepted truth that you give it no thought. So this time I took a minute to consider the enormity of what I was saying: to declare a company "the fucking worst" and to declare it so casually and so often that it's not even shocking anymore. So it went from "yeah, as we all know, WWE are the fucking worst" to "Holy fucking shit, WWE are the fucking worst." I had this epiphany moment where I realized that yes, they really are the fucking worst, aren't they? And we kind of just take the individual shitty things they do one at a time because we're so used to them doing shitty things, but we don't step back and think about the big picture there which is that, yeah, they're the fucking worst.

So now, even when the fans act like idiots, my stance is that said idiocy is only the product of what WWE have created. People don't go to NJPW shows to hijack them because NJPW haven't done as many shitty things as WWE have. Because WWE really, truly are the fucking worst.
