WWE App Overkill

You are not the only one. Sadly, I feel the same way too even though I hate to admit it. They have been too focused on promoting themselves with the Make A Wish, Be A Star, Susan G Komen etc etc and now with the WWE App. So much so that the quality of the storylines they have now is just low quality and not up to standard as they were before. Plenty of misdirections as they clearly do not know which direction to take for the WWE Championship and in particular John Cena and some of the other superstars as well....

And yes, very obvious that their way of promoting of the WWE App went overkill on RAW this week. And I fear it will be the same in the coming weeks and months. Its ok to mention it once or twice, but the way it was handled was just too much.

I can understand why they are doing it and how it can be effective but it seems very bizarre that out of nowhere it instantly got such a hype on the show unlike past weeks. Its like they only just realised or started to care about it. For me personally, I found it annoying.

Well I watch raw on record cos I ain't staying up and missing out on beautiful sleep so the app useless to me and I wish they would tell the commentators to maybe stop mentioning it every time they speak.

I feel like I remember this with ShopZone more so than WWF.com

Although, WWF.com was on the ing tron so I see your point.

If WWE put 50% of the effort into the quality of their storylines that they put into self-promotion, on-screen PR segments, pop culture references and social media acknowledgements; the product would be amazing.

To be honest, I'm not even sure Vince is the problem at this point. I think the WWE surely have gotten some corporate suits in the positions just under Vince on the corporate ladder and are feeding him information about why doing this and that would be good for business. The problem is that these people have no idea about the uniqueness of professional wrestling. And that's why all the focus is on the wrong stuff. They put more effort into corporate relations than their ACTUAL product. I personally think this has been happening since about 2007, but only been shown actively on screen since 2012.

I've been a WWE fan for 16 years, but their lackadaisical booking deserves to be punished. I'd love to see TNA put them out of business, for better or worse.. it just feels like they've kinda sold their soul to pop culture and forgotten about the actual reason they are there - wrestling.

The WWE is really far from cool these days. Pushing all these apps and crap reminds me of a dad making a Facebook page or something. Hey, my dad is on Facebook, so I know what I'm talking about. But he doesn't want to be "friends" with me but he is with my brother - should I be worried?

One thing I like better about TNA is they don't constantly push this stuff on us. They do a little bit, but the WWE is out of control. Can this social networking just be done with already? Or is it only going to get worse?
