#5 CM Punk chants

Why are people still chanting CM Punk during WWE shows?

Can you believe people still do CM Punk chants?

While it hasn't been as bad as previous years, CM Punk chants are still a regular occurrence during shows and they honestly shouldn't be. Not only is that evident by the fact that Punk has confirmed that his pro wrestling career is over, but also because if he ever did come back, it probably wouldn't be to WWE.

Think about it! The two parties had a great relationship at times and Punk was even their WWE champion for over a year, but all that doesn't take away from hard truth that Punk was misused after that. Of course it wasn't exactly WWE's fault, especially since they were focusing on the rise of Daniel Bryan, The Shield and others at that time, it still came at the expense of Punk.

In the end, Punk probably deserved better than the sub-par storylines he was straddled with throughout the final months of his run with the company. He also probably deserved that WrestleMania main event slot he always wanted, but it never happened and chanting his name at a WWE event isn't going to change a thing.

#4 Bullying each other

Its time for The WWE Universe to take a good look at themselves in 2019.

Its no secret that a large portion of WWE's fanbase consists of young children and while one would think we would all mind our P's and Q's knowing this, that's not always the case. Unfortunately for younger fans, they are bullied by their older counterparts on a weekly basis and it takes place all over social media.

From spreading John Cena death rumours to calling people stupid for loving a particular superstar, there is a segment of The WWE Universe that are absolutely ruthless to other people and will say anything to hurt them. With that being said and another year almost upon, us, shouldn't we make a point to be kinder to other wrestling fans?

In all honesty, you both love the same thing. Just for different reasons and maybe different parts. Why can't we search for a sense of family and unity when it comes to our fellow wrestling fans? Why does it always have to be blind hatred, bullying and disgusting comments with the intention of hurting other people?

#3 Getting mad about heel turns

Let's be honest here. Dean Ambrose's heel turn wasn't that bad.

Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose both turned heel in 2019

Unfortunately, for the two popular superstars, the internet completely lost their minds when their respective heel turns happened and complaints about both guys started to stack up. It was even later rumoured that WWE backed off from the Dean Ambrose versus Seth Rollins due to how angry fans were about it.

As for Bryan, fans are mostly upset about his promos of global warming and sustainability, which are topics that are a little too real life for their liking. The problem with this however is that fans forget he is just playing into his heel character and them being angry at him means he is doing his job correctly.

In the end, booing Daniel Bryan is completely fine and appropriate since he is a heel right now. What isn't appropriate however is to go online, complain and get a bunch of fans fired up about how so and so turned heel. Its honestly a very toxic thing to do and doesn't help WWE at all.

#2 Disrespecting women superstars

Its 2019. Women superstars deserve the same respect as the men in WWE

WWE has made it a point to stop trivialising their superstars over the last couple of years and while most fans have fallen in line with that idea, others continue to impede progress with their memes and acts.

With that being said, that's a very unfortunate thing, especially with how on point The Women's division has been in WWE lately and it only shows the immaturity of the fanbase every time they do something like this.

Furthermore, it shows that many fans are still stuck in The Attitude Era, where the women had a very different role.

In the end, The WWE Universe needs to take these female athletes a lot more seriously. They also need to realize that the women's revolution isn't over yet and won't be until these kind of thoughts and behaviors are a thing of the past. Finally, they need to understand that the women of WWE are just as good as the men in every respect.

#1 Threatening to quit watching

What is going on between AJ Styles and Vince McMahon?

If you want to leave, just go!

Daniel Bryan has been calling The WWE Universe fickle for quite a while now and its honestly sort of a deserving moniker. Not only is that evident by the amount of time fans spend complaining about the overall product, but also by how many times they threaten to quit watching completely.

In all honesty, both of those things are extremely toxic to the wrestling community and only serves to divide fans further in regards to the current product. Beyond all that, the negative comments and threats to stop watching start to accumulate, which creates the snowball effect of overshadowing the good that the company is doing.

And whether The WWE Universe wants to admit it or not, the company is currently doing some great things! A perfect example of this is the current storyline between AJ Styles and Vince McMahon, which has a lot of fans wondering what will happen next and how the whole thing will play out!
