I think that the WWE isn't as dumb as we all think
 
They know what it takes to be good. They know what it takes to bring ratings and make competion crumble

Just look at 2000. It was hott back then becauser they had WCW by the balls

But since there's no copmpetion, they don't even care and just DF it because they can. But I'm sure when a real threat comes, they can easily take it up a notch

I think they're giving us shit programming (although I don't think it's always shit) on purpose, so that the product doesn't get stale because when we're so used to seeing the product suck, the instant it turns good again, it's like a breath of fresh air, like when Ferret farts

Destor 01-10-2006 08:19 PM

Easily, its not like they don't have the talent.

Y3J 01-10-2006 08:21 PM

You're probably right. But it sucks hearing someone else saying it.

They know they don't have to try that hard to keep us watching because there's no alternative.

When WCW was around, even though I hated it, some people actually liked it and they spent so much to bring in the WWE rejects that they also took the fans of the wrestlers.

This pushed WWE into the "golden era" and coincidently, it started going wrong around the invasion period.

In some respects, I wish that WCW was still competing with WWE only so that we would get a decent product

The Naitch 01-10-2006 08:23 PM

I hope The Rock goes to TNA

Kane Knight 01-10-2006 08:23 PM

Then why was their programming down in the shitter before TNA?

Destor 01-10-2006 08:25 PM

Because there was no threat, clearly. If you have a monopoly there isn't any reason to have an innovative product.

Kane Knight 01-10-2006 08:30 PM

Surely there is a reason to keep your ratings up.

Destor 01-10-2006 08:32 PM

Not when you're senile.

Y3J 01-10-2006 08:33 PM

To increase the ratings, they have to work harder. Why would they need to if we have nothing else to watch?

There is no threat, even through the crap we still watch it, doesn't this say something?

Kane Knight 01-10-2006 08:51 PM

Yeah, but we're not the ones who make them money.

That'll happen once I get in bed with Jessica Alba!

The Naitch 01-10-2006 09:11 PM

you will get layed pretty soon by her

The Naitch 01-10-2006 09:12 PM

If he does, I give TNA a year or so to make their product legit enough for Rock to actually consider going there

Hell, Christian is there and Christian is THE ROCK'S FAVORITE WRESTLER!!!!

:shifty:

Both Raw and SD are the highest rated basic shows (not sporting events) on their stations... thats up enough.

starfox8500 01-10-2006 09:40 PM

I agree with all the above

You needed to posst the same thing two ways?

Their ratings were "up enough" to cost them both Thursday nights and Spike TV.

Destor 01-10-2006 09:44 PM

cost them spike Tv? What happend there I missed?

Kane Knight 01-10-2006 09:51 PM

Oh, that's right. They never left spike. It was all a dream.

Destor 01-10-2006 09:56 PM

I was under the impression they wanted to leave.

Kane Knight 01-10-2006 10:01 PM

Which is why they tried negotiating and lost?

Damn, I must have missed out on the definition of wanting to leave. Generally, you're not the one who tries to negotiate (Especially when you bring in bargaining chips such as another network).

Kane Knight 01-10-2006 10:02 PM

At best, it was a case of sour grapes.

"we didn't want to be on your dumb old station anyway."

Maybe you missed that part of my post. Clearly I was admitting I didn't know the full story and was curious in finding out the full details on the situation.

Kane Knight 01-10-2006 10:28 PM

Which is why I was correcting you with an illustrated point.

Destor 01-10-2006 10:31 PM

Ahhh

Kane Knight 01-10-2006 10:45 PM

It's basically trying to rhetorically prove a logical incongruity by demonstrting what happened vs the logic itself.

Or as I call it, being a dick. :shifty:

Favre4Ever 01-11-2006 06:22 AM

The Rock, Austin, Goldberg and Hogan leaving really hurt the company, because they spent so much time building them up that when they were gone, there was no one to replace them. Coincidentle that Brock got rocked to the top after Austin left.

Pinnacle Charisma 01-11-2006 07:52 AM

Thats crap because Vince has always said since he moved his company into "Sports entertainment" that he is not competing agasnt other wrestling companies he is competing agasnt other forms of entertainment (tv shows)

Dave Youell 01-11-2006 08:03 AM

Back when there was a decent alternative i used to really enjoy seeing guys who were on one show jump to the other, christ remember when Y2J first hit? That was huge!

Right now there is no wow factor, say AJ jumped, half the crowd wouldn't know who he is, but it's starting to work the other way, say like with Christian, so hopefully, in a few years it will be an even balance
