Presented chronologically in this very thread. Smeat with the first valid point of discussion (not being sarcastic, etc.)

Too many potential great things have been squandered (ex. Divas Revolution, Ceasro), too many feuds are just dragging on (ex. Rusev-Zig, Wyatts-Shield Bros, Comic Book feud), and too much focus on the same old stuff every week (ex. constant rematches, Authority promos, Rollins promos, Cena promos).

A rumor floating on Neogaf's wrestling thread for a bit was about the WWE holding off on doing a big "reboot" until after Mania since all they care about right now is legit breaking Mania's attendance record and older stars as the key to it.

That said, I think you have to expect some drop off at this time of year. Its like the time before Mania storylines start to heat up, and football is back. Its a tough time for ratings. And yet, I bet RAW was still one of the most watched things on cable on Monday.
CyNick bringing up a point no one argued. Slik quoted the ratings drop, but we all know Slik and his serious business ONLY journalism skills pertaining to the wrasslin world. And here we are in the middle of the road to Mania and shit is still the same, except HHH is champ

Noid bringing up the original points of contention.

quick - everyone panic!!!

Its amateur journalism to report on TV numbers without understanding the landscape of how people consumer entertainment. But that is par for the course in the industry.
CyNick arguing with someone again, but who? Slik when he R/T the ratings?

Who the hell here has said the sky is falling?

I can't speak for everyone here, but I don't think anyone has said the sky is falling in terms of WWE's finances. All were saying is that the quality of creative has and is still falling, which in turn could lead to a downturn in WWE's finances long term and in some cases may already have. No one is saying WWE is going under though.
To validate Crip, CyNick said the sky is falling and from what I can tell, no one originally stated that WWE is going under.
