No RAW rant this week… I did catch it, but there’s nothing really notable to bring up and truth be told, it wasn’t anything really great. No, I just want to touch on the Stand Up For WWE campaign that WWE is throwing around – essentially a public relations tool to encourage WWE fans and sheep to defend the company by stating all the positive that the company has done. It’s essentially something that was thought up after WWE has been getting blasted by media or political rivals to Linda McMahon’s Senate run.
The campaign is a gigantic waste of time and money. And I’m not talking about Linda’s Senate run.
I understand the intention. I might even applaud it, but any campaign that WWE attempts in order to bolster their image from what is perceived by the media is going to simply add more fuel to the fire. This Stand Up For WWE campaign is already being attacked by Democrats because it’s seems almost similar to Linda McMahon’s own campaign. And when you consider that McMahon is a former WWE CEO, who happens to be running for the Senate seat, it’s hard to believe that these two aren’t the least bit related. No matter what WWE does to eliminate the negative stigma and beliefs that plague it like the elephant in the corner, it will never truly go away.
But if they go forward with this, best of luck to them. I just hope it doesn’t result in their main product’s quality deteriorating further down.
