Why WWE wrestling is struggling...

[daschuck77]

When you have to push a no talent steroid-induced acne freak where one of his gimmicks is poor dental care and a kick to the face as a finisher, the WWE is suffering for some talent and good storylines.

I still think the brand split has alot to do with it, that and when John Cena is you top dog you just know the WWE is in trouble.

When there was WWE vs WCW Monday Night Wars.. Wrestling was great. Now WWE has no competition and TNA is not even close. WWE has done some dumb things.

#1 Buying WCW. That took out the competition which makes them sit on their asses now and not even worry about someone being better.

#2 They decided to thin themselves out with 3 brands of wrestling on 3 nights a week. Raw is live (usually) and ECW and Smackdown are tape delayed. All you have to do is go to a wrestling website on Tuesday night to read what happens on these shows.

#3 Pussifying ECW to a shadow of what ECW really was.

#4 Same ol' Same ol' for the Heavyweight Title. It's almost always the same 3 or 4 guys always holding on to the title. It gets dumb after awhile.

The television ratings might disagree. But you are right, WCW going away was the worst thing that could have happened.

WWE has been slipping for a while. Even when they had someone to compete with their product was inferior. I long for the days of watching WCW again. The storylines and action were far superior.

WCW was terrible before the nWo and then again as they watered that angle down to an unworkable point. They had a nice two year run with the nWo but that's about it. RAW was much better at the point that WCW went downhill.

Now I don't even watch wrestling because it's so bad.

The company's stars had to hold a meeting with Dixie Carter because they didn't like the way Jeff Jarrett was running things. In interviews with former TNA talent, they comment on how low the morale is backstage (I will say some of that could be sour grapes). TNA won't last because it recycles too many WWE, WCW, and ECW "stars" such as:

Sting, Nash, Angle, Christian, Raven, Booker T, Rikishi, Dustin Rhodes, Team 3D, Hall (to a lesser extent), Johnny Stamboli, etc.
