Now, a rating this bad is depressing, but the show will continue to be boring and they won't change the pat hand despite the numbers telling them something very clearly.

Not suggesting the world needs title changes every 4 to 6 weeks or anything, but that line about long term planning is the key - even if they do have a long term plan, you can't tell by watching, the product feels directionless. There is very little to be excited about, and the audience is slowly eroding in response.

Brass tacks, there is no way to convince anybody that the worst Raw rating in 18 years in a good thing. That's all.
Rollins singles push started after 30. He won the title at 31. He's been champ since then. Sounds long term to me.

Lesnar-Taker has been a long term program (30 to now)

HHH v Rock had seeds planted at 31. Rumor is it culminates at 32. If not Rollins-HHH has been simmering and is clearly a direction eventually.

The whole US challenge has been a long term storyline that I think will start a new (day) chapter on Sunday.

Rrigns-Wyatt was a long term program

There's a difference between not liking the current programs and saying they have no direction.
