Dave said on WOR he’s been told that they’re taking Kevin Owens character in a direction that’s a rib on “typical, internet fans” that “quit the product week to week only to come back to attack WWE creations.” 

Dave said that this is 100% Vince McMahon creation.

Ziegler did it a few months back. Maybe Vince forgot about that.

I guess I could see there being some truth to this. But assuming this is accurate, this just further feeds into the underlying reason why the core audience is so hostile towards WWE in the first place -- WWE legit hates their own core audience. The audience has become increasingly hostile towards WWE BECAUSE WWE hates them and antagonizes them and takes shots at them any chance they get.

Any rational company would go "We've lost touch with our core audience, we should try to better understand what they want and how to deliver that to them". But WWE? Their response is "Fuck you! You don't know shit! What's that? You dislike Roman? Hah! Fuck you, Roman is going to beat EVERYONE now, he's going to headline the next ten WMs, and he's going to be the first ever 30 time world champion! How do you like that, shitheads?!".

It's so bizarre, because I can't think of any other company that so clearly dislikes its own core audience and antagonizes them time and time again, and manages to get away with it. It's such a ludicrous way to run a business.

How can it be a rib if we all know what's happening?

That sounds very meta and quite self aware. 

Are we sure Vince is doing this?

I thought it was Owens being frustrated and quitting...then he went home, saw how bad Sami is doing, got enraged and decided to attack the man who injured him in Lashley, to get revenge for Zayn.

I doubt this is true. I think Owens was bought back due to the fact he has a match against Lashley at Super Showdown.

Vince probably didn't even know who AJ Styles was when they signed him.

This. I think it's more to do with this anything, though I would also support ribbing the "bad smarks" who continue to tune in every week despite "hating" the product.
If you feed them, they'll continue. It's that simple.
Why do you continue to watch something that you don't like weekly? I don't get it.

Jokes on him. I turned Raw off when Zayn brought out three dudes as Lashley’s sisters and never turned it back on.

Not surprising if true though. WWE is built around the entertainment of a 73 year old senile man after all.

BTW do not read into the three paragraphs. MRW isn't a bad dude... He's just incapable of posting anything less than a short story per message board post.

I didn't get worked. I simply shared my idea of where the angle was going. And it was right. He blamed Lashley for hurting his friend. Now he's out for revenge.
