That's another point entirely, and I've talked about how poor their booking and character development have been several times already. However, you're the one that's constantly defending WWE on here, more than anyone else.

You want to present a show YOU like. There is no "we".

No; both convserations go hand-in-hand. They're not mutually exclusive. Wrestling promotions exist to put people in seats. If they don't, they don't stay in business. That's been true for over 100 years.

>Women and children like top 40 hip-pop bullshit, should I stop
>wanting grimey boom bap because it doesn't sell?

No, but to tell those that are making billions of dollars developing a product with that bullshit to stop so they can go out of business making things that you like is stupid and destructive.
