Why is the WWE so afraid to shake things up anymore?

No competition = no motivation to change things.\n\n\nTNA isn't quite there yet to compete with the WWE. When they are, maybe then the WWE will become better.\n\nHow pathetic is it that the WWE pretends that the competition is between Raw, Smackdown & ECW when they are all under the WWE umbrella.

The build up was great but the outcome was terrible. Remember\ntriple H was a mid card level wrestler back then and Shawn Michael's stole the show. They are both too old to be doing this.\nWWE needs a new and young dx.

McMahon doesn't care what wrestling fans want anymore.  It's all about putting on the Triple H show, & doing whatever he feels he can get by with & still get people to watch.  I have almost completely quit ever watching WWE, greatly preferring the more action & less B.S. format of TNA.  I am hopeful at some point TNA may get a 2-hour Monday night block & we may see the Monday Night Wars II.  Considering I've heard rumors Eric Bischoff may be heading there as their new G.M., this may be an inevitability, because if anyone could make such a confrontation interesting, it's Eric.  Then, McMahon may not be able to get by with a lame show anymore, or better yet, he may one day not have a show anymore.

WWE is getting old, try NWA-TNA at least there is no bra and panties matches or any other stupid type of matches like WWE puts on.\n\nJohn Cena, who cares time for someone else to take the title.

Actually, this is probably the best move Vince has made in a long while. ECW has always had a cult following and if done properly, the resurrection of ECW will be very profitable for WWE. More PPV's, more WWE vs ECW rivalries...it's a smart move. I agree with a previous poster who conjectured that Smackdown might be going away soon. At the very least it will be more of a training ground for newer talent. I see Raw and ECW being the 2 main brands in the future.

Until recently it was WWE because of the Superior graphics and roster, now all of the older wrestlers are leaving either cos there injured or because they haven't been given any real title chances. Vince has concentrated on the wrestlers he already had rather than bringing in new talent. John Cena was a panic buy, lets face it the only reason he was brought in so fast was because the story lines where getting stale. TNA is now the best place to watch true wrestling talent and anyone who doesn't think so needs to watch The Bound For Glory pay per view line up. There wrestlers are allowed to create new moves and be daring which is far more entertaining than watching an overly muscular wrestler from the WWE fight another overly muscular wrestler. TNA build up story lines and keep them going.\n\nI have to say after been a fan of WWE for over 10 years i am disappointed with their latest offerings.

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.

I'm sure they can revive the Attitude era but that would require trying to bring back a lot of the older guys who were popular back then. Remember, the Attitude era was 8-10 years ago, so the stars back then are much older now. WWE should focus on creating new stars, which is partly what made the Attitude era so prosperous and propelled WWF in the ratings war. \n\nThe other defining aspect of the Attitude era was whacky sh*t that they did just for shock value so that they could increase ratings. I'm talking about things like Mae Young giving birth to a hand, Godfather offering his hos to all of his opponents, etc. At this point, none of that really has the same shock value anymore because WWE has been doing it for years. By now, I'd rather see less of that crap and more in-ring action.\n\nTo conclude, they probably can bring the Attitude era back, but it wouldn't really be a good idea. If WWE wants to restore its pops and record audiences, there are other ways to do it than to recycle old characters and story lines. If people got tired of it then, they won't be any less tired of it now. It might provide a good bit of nostalgia, but that won't hold up for very long.\n\nAnd I disagree about wrestling as drama for men. That's WWE only. There are other wrestling promotions that don't concern themselves with soap opera crap and 5-minute matches.

Free Right To Censorship.. Im sure its some shit like that. They did that angle in wwe a while back so its not like its anything new to wrestling.

Yup.  It's always been like this too.  :)  You can generally assume that the "deeper the rivalry" on TV and PPV, the more likely it is that the people involved are close friends.  It was like this with Hogan and Flair, and with many others too.\n\nIn fact, you might even notice the opposite effect too: that if folks are actually *on record* as hating each other (blogs not counting since they can be edited at any time) that as often as not, they won't work with each other, either they will refuse to or won't be allowed to.\n\nWhy?  Well, gee, because if the matches are fixed, then that implies that the wrestlers have to trust each other at least somewhat so they don't deliberately maim and cripple each other (more than necessary).\n\nSo yeah....friends end up being the biggest public rivals, and enemies generally will not work together.  Screwy huh?  But whatever works, whatever keeps people working for a living, huh?

well if you remember back to 12 mths ago there was this little PPV called ECW One Night Stand.  Well it is coming up again in June  and they need to build it up somehow so they are starting a feud between WWE & ECW again.  Pretty predictable really - well ok i admit i didn't see Mick Foley turning on Dreamer happening lol.  The WWE do surprise me once in a while but i do think the writers need to get off their lazy asses and ask some opinions of the fans for some original storylines.  I'm getting sick and tired of the same storylines being used every 2-3yrs like they think we won't remember.

yaeh those division you said are great! and im one of those who say that the two brands should merge as one! in that way there will be more feuds! and more exposure for all the wrestler since thay can be with a fight with more other wrestlers!

It's for entertainment and like others, it's not real.\n\nThe only exciting part in it is the wrestling.\n\nI agreewith others, it's becoming more of a soap opera.\n\nBut still, I can't stand watching it because of the "Action".

Ok guys, wat kind of question is this? WWE will demolish TNA. WWE has the heart of wrestling in them. Alot of people says that WWE do more talkin than fightin and TNA do more fightin than talkin. To the people that said "F*** YOU!!!" cuz i see both shows and TNA do more talkin and WWE do more fightin. All TNA has is a 1 hours window on SPike TV and they use by talkin and when it gets good, guess wat it finish. In the WWE, they give the fans wat they wanna see. It doesnt matter bout the money in the WWE, wrestlers will still put themselves on the line to give the fans a show. TNA, you can actually see the fakeness in it. I watch the show and the only time its good is when AJ Stylez is in the ring but other than that nothin. TNA did invade WWE once before. At the 2005 Royal Rumble Commercial. The next day WWE invaded TNA, and why you think TNA havent done anythin else after that? Cuz WWE kicked the livin s*** outta TNA and its true cuz a fan recorded it all happenin at a TNA show and showed thanks to Lime Wire. SO you see, WWE is better than TNA, WWE has the heart of wrestling and thats how they lasted so long.

2 reasons. One of them is because primarily of ECW and a storyline being build around that, and the other was because his gimmick was getting stale. That being said the turn had no build up and was rushed, which is why the fans gave no reaction
