Might Fail in WWE: The audience can be fickle

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have had one of the most high profile feuds of the year.

Wrestling fans have the right to cheer for or boo whoever and whatever they want. That comes with the price of a ticket or WWE.com membership.

It's the fans who decided that Stone Cold Steve Austin--the beer swilling, foul-mouthed angry and violent antisocial Texan--was going to be the company's top babyface. It's the fans who revolted when third-generation babyface smiling hero Rocky Maivia was going to be booed into oblivion, only to rise from the ashes as the Rock.

Most recently, at WWE's TLC event, a red-hot feud between two popular wrestlers was greeted with 'this is boring' chants from the crowd. While there are many factors behind this--for one, the match was full of technical wrestling and rest holds when fans were expecting a pier six brawl--the fact remains that the WWE Universe changes its mind as often as the wind blows. Even if Kenny Omega were to debut with a lot of fanfare, the fickle fans might not remain solidly behind him.
