WWE The Revolution Era

by bluethunder25

After a long legal battle, a new chairman of WWE is named and in his mind, he plans to usher a new era in WWE. A era with new superstars, revamped PPVs, deeper storylines, action, drama, adventure, comedy, suspense, thrills, chills, and blood-rising excitement.

1. Prologue

On January 21st, 2008, WWE set to break new ground when it transitioned into high definition. With this change came more changes. The sets that had become so familiar with fans for years had all been replaced with a single HD stage that would be used for all their programs. As time went by, the audience for WWE was drastically changing. The hardcore, take-no-prisoners fans that had once dominated the Attitude Era were now replaced with a much younger demographic. With this change in audience, WWE decided to change its style of programming. More family friendly content was shown, the WWE fans became known as the WWE Universe, and the use of blood and violence had deteriorated. And with the introduction of social media and the innovative construct that was the internet, WWE made use of its power and spread itself across social media. Soon, WWE had taken its focus away from pro wrestling and more into advertising. This was not the same WWE as before and this raised the ire of many old school WWE fans. But it didn't stop there. The action packed content that had been previously present in WWE shows had all but been lost. It seemed as though the current superstars were unenthusiastic about their work. Many superstars who fans felt were deserving were held back while those who they felt overrated were taken to the top of WWE stardom. The WWE that many loyal fans had come to know was all but lost.

But on September 24, 2012, one man decided that enough was enough. A man by the name of Ira Dwight Sutton Jr. Fed up with the corporate BS from Vince McMahon and wanting the focus of the company to be on pro wrestling again, Ira threw his hat into the mix and announced that he would go to war with Mr. McMahon for the position of Chairman of the WWE. The struggle was long and hard with both parties throwing all their legal punches and kick as hard as they could. The legal battle between Vince and Ira quickly became the highest buzz in media around the world. Everyone was talking about this struggle.

After a 3 month struggle, on December 8th, 2012, in an emotionally charged case in Stanford, Connecticut, Ira Sutton came from behind to win the case and became the new Chairman of WWE Inc. A handshake from Vince to his worthy opponent signified his loss to the better man and the official changing of the guard.

Now with a global phenomenon in new hands, the landscape of the WWE was about to change. It was now time for a new beginning, it was now time for a new era.
