Do any of you guys ever vote for these things? For some reason, it seems so fake. During the Ultimate Royal Rumble one, I found some of the early eliminations very hard to believe, considering that they were some of the most passionately cared about by the fans (Rey, Cena, Flair).
AND, while I'm no conspiracy guy, it was incredibly convenient that HBK and UT just happened to be the last two in both the online poll and the match itself, even though the outcome was different.
The thing is, some of votes for the WM poll are just weird. You're meaning to tell me that fans think the crowd booing Cena is a bigger WM moment than one of the best matches and loudest ovations in company history, Savage/Steamboat? C'mon...

Do you think the kind of people voting for Cena are the kind that remember/even know about Savage/Steamboat?

Says a lot about WWE booking these days...
Hold nothing sacred and you'll never be dissapointed. Especially not this statement.

I'm not sure I follow you. What does the current crop of fans not knowing about a match from twenty years ago say about WWE booking?
To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires, and lights, in a box.-Edward R. Murrow

I liked the one about 'who has the biggest ego' because I'm sure if Hogan was doing 'Mania this year, with the whole WM3 nostalgia thing, then his name wouldn't have been on there... |
