5 Things the WWE Universe were  wrong about 

Is The WWE Universe ever wrong?
Is The WWE Universe ever wrong?

The WWE Universe is one of the most opinionated fanbases in the entire world and they absolutely do not hesitate to let the company know that they are upset. Unfortunately for the WWE, however, they do this all the time and over the most simple of things, which makes it hard for the company to please everyone.

And whether the WWE Universe wants to admit or not, which they most likely won't, they are wrong about things all the time! In fact, it's gotten so bad that it seems like fans just complain to have something to do and that only serves to make the overall state of the WWE Universe even more toxic.

With that being said, and the complaining being nonstop at this point, here are five things that the WWE Universe was wrong about. As always, let us know your' thoughts in the comments below and be sure to let us know a few examples of things you think fans are right or wrong about.


#5 WWE not listening to their fans

Does WWE listen to its fans?

The WWE Universe loves to complain about the company never listening to them, but it's becoming more and more of a ridiculous argument every day. In fact, with Seth Rollins now champion, women main eventing WrestleMania 35 and several dream matches occurring over the last couple of months, fans don't have a leg to stand on.

Not only does all this and more prove that WWE does listen to their fans, but also that they have done so to their own detriment. Beyond all that, it shows just how fickle the WWE Universe is and how ready they are to hate on anything that isn't exactly what they want or when they want it.

#4 The 24/7 title

Admit it. The 24/7 title was a good idea when you consider its actual purpose.

Let's talk about expectations versus reality. While the WWE Universe had the expectation of the disfigured hardcore title making its big comeback, they were instead greeted with a kid toy looking green belt called the 24/7 title. Of course, fans instantly panned the idea as ridiculous and not what they had in mind when it comes to a new title, but they failed to realize the real purpose of the belt.

In fact, they totally glossed over the fact that the belt was obviously just a way to give the mid-card guys something to do, which it has done so far and threatened to quit watching over the big reveal. Unfortunately for the WWE, a lot of fans followed through on that promise, thus showing just how fickle they are.

Seriously though. If fans are going to get that upset about a mid-card title meant to give a bunch of no names something to do in comic relief segments, then they were just looking for a reason to not watch the product anyway. Beyond that, it also proves the paradox WWE has to deal with when it comes to fans and pleasing them.

#3 Not needing authority figures

What is it with The WWE Universe and authority figures? It's understandable for fans to have a dislike for authority figures, especially if they are heels, but they simultaneously fail to understand the importance of them to the overall product. In fact, it seems like they fail to understand the very basis of storytelling and that every great hero needs some kind of powerful villain to overcome.

And what better villain to overcome than an authority figure that abuses his or her power and makes the babyfaces life a living hell? At least that way, it gives the overall product an organic overriding story and also creates a situation where fans can wait for the eventual pay off of the figure being overthrown.

Of course, it doesn't always work to perfection and the case could be made that WWE relies on this tactic a little too much at times, but that doesn't mean it needs to be eliminated entirely. In the end, authority figures, good or bad, are a crucial part of the overall product and without them, WWE would just be spinning their wheels.

#2 The Firefly Funhouse

Let's be honest here. Despite being absolutely slaughtered in the court of public opinion by WWE fans from the very beginning, Bray Wyatt's Firefly Funhouse has proven to be the most interesting thing the company has right now. Beyond that, it seems like one big experiment to push the envelope and keep fans on their toes.

In all honesty, this is some of the most layered storytelling WWE has done in a long time and it truly shows in every segment of the Firefly Funhouse that airs. It also shows exactly what WWE is capable of when they are willing to go out of bounds into uncharted territory, which should serve as a warning shot to AEW.

If nothing else, it might only take up a few minutes of WWE's weekly programming, but it continues to be one of the most talked about things in the company right now. Where it all goes from here and if it is ultimately successful in the long run or not is still up in the air, but WWE has certainly created a buzz in the short term with this!

#1 Brock Lesnar not being good for WWE

Face it. WWE needs Brock Lesnar. Not only is that evident by WWE's current rating uptick after having the Beast Incarnate show up two weeks in a row for his highly anticipated cash in on Seth Rollins or Kofi Kingston, but also by all the potential things WWE can now do with Brock Lesnar in the very near future.

If nothing else, the possibilities are unlimited and Lesnar holding the Money in The Bank briefcase ensures that fans will continue to watch to see if a title change occurs. With that being said, however, his continued presence on television is bringing a level of legitimacy and mainstream buzz for a product that wouldn't see it otherwise.

In the end, Brock Lesnar is best for business and the WWE Universe needs to realize how lucky they are to have the Beast Incarnate in the company right now. They also need to realize the great creative storytelling that WWE is doing right now with him and appreciate that as well.
