Why are people so harsh about WWE?

1. Thrown together tag teams always suck. It's ridiculous to think that passes for building a tag team division in 2012.

2. Ryback is green, and that's absurd too considering how long he's been in the business. He's also incredibly dangerous in the ring & hasn't taken to bumping properly.

3. As someone who has seen my grandfather go through 3 heart attacks and the suffering that comes from said heart attack I thought it was very distasteful & accomplished nothing in terms of the wrestling end of things.

The attitude era had angles that hit home and mattered, making you want to tune in the following week. Until I read your comment on the angle, I had forgotten it even happened in the course of last week's show.

1) some of the best tag teams are thrown together, the IWC's golden boy was praised to hell for Edge and Jericho and ShowMiz. The Prime Time Players are an amazing charismatic team that are actually entertaining, and I'm not the only person who thinks that Team Hell No are carrying SmackDown! at the moment

2) Ryback was an example, you also have guys like Del Rio and Sheamus who rose to the top very quickly.

3) Heart problems run in my family, my nan suffered one too. It was obvious the way the segment was cut that all parties that it'd effect were happy to be a part of the angle.

As a fan for over 20 year I actually think the in ring product is fine. I really enjoyed the Survivor Series for example, but the characters and story lines are just so boring. Its just so middle of the road average why should I really care about any of these characters.

I know a lot of the newer fans hate how us older guys always go back to the Attitude era, but back then a guy like Hardcore Holly had more of a personality, character and a purpose than the majority of the mid card roster right now.

People make the mistake of thinking the reason we all loved the Attitude era was because of the blood, swearing and naked chicks, but the truth is we loved the characters back then and we loved the story's and situations these characters would be in.

Wasn't the New Age Outlaws once a thrown together team? Weren't the Rock & Roll Express thrown together in Memphis because neither guy had anything going for them?

Point being most of the greatest teams of all time were thrown together at some point by a promoter. Some worked some didn't. Just cause you didn't see them till they had become established doesn't mean that they always intended to be a team. And in this day & age without the territories WWE doesn't have anyone who could trial & error a team for them. So you might as well get used to it being this way.

Don't you watch television shows like House for example? They have characters with illnesses in every show...are they offending you too when someone has a heart condition on the show or has a heart attack?! or how about if a character has cancer?! does that offend you too?

Lighten up...its entertainment...in the Attitude Era WWE did A LOT more distasteful angles and segments and fans loved it...now people are just a bunch of pansies that can't take it when WWE adds a little "attitude" or "edge", and at the same time beg and plead for WWE to do something edgy. Well, that was a taste, and look how you people reacted.

WWE pushing the envelop in this day and age will not work, so they might as well just play it safe.

Nostalgia goggles?

Let me guess you were in your pre-teens when watching the Attitude era and thought everything was real..now hating the WWE is the cool thing to do. WWE is trying to cater a new generation of fans, let them enjoy.

Attitude era had its fair share of awful storylines - actually some of the most embarrassing moments came from the attitude era, but people look past that and put it on some pedestal.

Because here on the Internet, "now" sucks, "now" will always suck, and nothing can ever be as good as it was before or will be in the future.

I think there is alot of good still going on with the current WWE, but it's a bit like your favorite restaurant switching to cheaper ingredients and taking alot of your favorite items off the menu.

I know many feel the Attitude Era is overrated, and I try to be objective, but on a WHOLE, the business was moving so fast and was so innovative and fresh during those days, largely because of the threat of losing the company. The WWE didn't rest on any laurels and took risks and evolved .... nowadays it seems like WWE knows it's making money and doing okay enough as is and I don't think the urgency or innovative edge is in place anymore.

The difference between a thrown together tag team and your two examples are plentiful. First and foremost the NAO and Rock N Rolls had a gimmick between the two that made them some sort of commonality. Teams like Big Show & Miz for example or Big Show & Jericho had what gimmick or trend in common? Same can be said for teams like Ryder & Marella(what is their gimmick, being viewed as laughing stocks by the writers?) and Rhodes & Sandow(who is so good at his gimmick he should not be stuck in a team that will go nowhere).

The Prime Time Players for example, dress alike, they have the same personalities for a team, that's a tag team. Same with the Uso's or Colon's, but just because they wear masks does not make Sin Cara & Mysterio a "tag team".
