Your thoughts on what Eric Bischoff wrote on his twitter?

[The Dragon]

To add another sensible answer to the one Straight Edge Enigma posted, rather than the "Bischoff's an idiot" majority:

If anybody has been paying attention to what I write here they will see that I've been writing pretty much the same thing for the past couple of years or so. Specifically to the often-asked "why doesn't the WWE ever listen to us?" question.

While Bischoff is PROBABLY referring to the TNA-hate that's always been there, and more so now that he and Hogan are running things, he might also be referring to the IWC in general and it's overwhelmingly negative comments about the WWE, too.

Bischoff is absolutely correct. We, the IWC, can whine and piss and moan and complain until we're blue in the face and it won't make a bit of difference. We, the IWC, are just a few thousand know-it-alls who love to hear ourselves complain (and to see our complaints in public for all to see). We're just a few thousands. TNA gets 1-2 MILLION viewers every week. The WWE gets 11-12 MILLION viewers every week. If TNA and the WWE were as horrible as the IWC makes them out to be, those millions of viewers wouldn't be watching every week. So obviously, despite our complaints, TNA and the WWE are doing a lot of things right for those millions who keep watching.

I imagine Bischoff is generalizing because of the VERY limited space available on twitter. Not all members of the IWC are whining, complaining, know-it-all "smarks". But enough of us are to give us ALL a bad name. Some of us understand that we are a very vocal, very tiny, minority, and we don't take things personal; we try to discuss things rationally and in-perspective. But too many of us in the IWC take various storylines and characters (in both companies) as a personal affront, intended to offend us, and we stand up and shout in moral outrage (I'm not immune to that, myself). Bischoff is responding to THEM, I believe.

He's telling them to lighten up and watch the show or change the channel. He's telling them that yeah, a couple thousand people complain no matter what they do, but a million+ (11-12 million+ for the WWE) people DON'T complain on the internet and they keep watching the shows every week. The morally-outraged and offended really don't matter in the big picture, he's saying. He's basically telling them to get over themselves and stop taking things so personally, and try to enjoy the shows as the vast majority do. Or change the channel.

Or, in my case, DVR and the fast-forward button to skip past segments that "offend" me.

eric is an idiot. both him and hogan don't know much about wrestling. they are very stupid. im not even joking, they are. eric still thinks hogan sting and all the other old timers from w_e can draw ratings.

its not 10% that hate tna. about 90% of every wrestling fan hates it. i hate when people use smark as an insult, smarks dont always trash things. *shakes head*
