Does anybody read what cultures wwe articles and notice how negative they are? It's like they want wwe to fail at everything so they could right "told ya so".

Watched most of their YouTube videos that appeal to me. But only history/factual count downs. Don't bother with the opinion things.
They're alright but I see where u you're coming from. They have a smark feel to them.

Yeah I read them for their fact lists and sometimes the 10 things wwe wants you to forget about, but other than that all the other lists are just talking about how wwe will fail at a certain thing. |

Some of them are ok, some are bad. I don't mind Adam and Simon, but Jack and King Ross suck.
I got their magazine and it's actually pretty cool.

King Ross is terrible, his wtf articles consist of announcer comments and what culture signs. I used to like him till he started doing that gimmick. |

There's probably not a big market for people who want to read/watch (and more importantly, share and retweet) positive articles. The whole deal of the wrestling Internet is to be negative about WWE. WhatCulture are just following the trend, and thus the money. If someone likes WWE, there's plenty of content on WWE.com and WWE's YouTube, not to mention the WWE Network. They've got that covered. For the haters, the whole market is basically the "stop burying the Internet guy and stop pushing the superstar guy" stuff. WhatCulture didn't create that, they're just leeching off it.

I don't actually think they're that negative, although they can be critical. Since when was critical thinking a bad thing? More often than not, they praise WWE's good choices

That is so true. I don't like to think negative about wwe because no matter who they put on the screen I will find a way to enjoy. |

I enjoy their YouTube channel but that's it. As said above, Adam Blampeid and Simon are very knowledgeable and it's cool when they give their perspective. I recommend Adams uploads called "How I would book". King Ross is a jackass that tries to get himself over rather that insight on wrestling.

I like Adam because he doesn't completely say a storyline was terrible when he does "how I would book". It's almost like as if he were creative and most of his ideas are good. |

I wrote for them for a bit when they first got off the ground about five years ago or so. It was fun at first, but then they started shifted everyone toward list pieces, which I hated doing, so I stopped. Don't know if that's still how they operate or not. The heavy dependency on lists always felt restrictive and click-baity to me. Tons of other sites do it, too.

I like the lists, but it's hard to read them all when there all done by different writers with different opinions. |

I haven't kept up with the site at all. |

I watch their videos occasionally. Some are okay. But I can't stand their "How _ should have been booked" because hindsight is always 20/20. Always easy to look back and say what would have worked better. I'm not sure how I feel about King Ross either. He seems like a cool guy. But he once "WTF" Summer Rae dropping a grape. So I knew he was just looking for excuses to complain.

Not fan signs and when Jbl talks because everything that comes out of jbls mouth could be a wtf moment. |

Never got the appeal. Just seems like a Bleacher Report/BuzzFeed style content farm that churns out generic, clickbaity lists full of stuff that most of us already know. Basically following the disgusting direction news and journalism as a whole are headed.
In particular, I couldn't see any value in their "fantasy booking" style videos because it's just some regular mark like me spitballing ideas. Like, what gives this dude's ideas any more credence or weight than the next guy? Why should I care about his opinion? I could never come up with a reason to get invested, so I haven't seen any of their videos. Apparently they have a big following, though.

Probably the only person that enjoys the YouTube channel and their articles (I also dislike Ross though so it's ok)

I enjoy some of their stuff on YouTube. But I prefer Ranker's Puppet.
