Stephanie McMahon: “We Listened To Our Audience;” Audience Disagrees

JeremyLSeptember 14, 2018

Stephanie McMahon was speaking at the SBJ Game Changer event when she dropped a line that didn’t go over too well with wrestling fans.

“We’re successful for one reason only: We listened to our audience.” – @WWE Chief Brand Officer @StephMcMahon pic.twitter.com/YbnyGFCmQL

The tweet has 341 likes and 459 replies. In the social media world, that’s called being “ratio’d.”

WWE fans: We want Daniel Bryan as the main guy.
WWE: Here’s Reigns.
WWE fans: How about Seth Rollins?
WWE: Here’s Reigns.
WWE fans: Surely you’ll give us Strowman.
WWE: Well, Strowman sounds a lot like Roman. pic.twitter.com/PETbnn5vH3

Why did Sasha and Bayley have one of the hottest feuds in the Company and than someone decided that they should go to counseling and reconcile? Why is Asuka doing comedy promos? Why is Becky a heel? Why did KO quit and comeback the following week? pic.twitter.com/MLoViws88L

Let me add to the dozens of replies laughing at the absurdity of that lie

The author of the tweet took notice of her notifications blowing up.

So apparently the WWE fans feel differently, as evidenced by the 70+ comments I woke up to this morning. https://t.co/GL7dJIlYat

What do you think, Fightful fans; does WWE listen to their audience?
