wrestling is saturated, repetitive and very predictable right now. It's not a real shock on the ratings by all the companies. There's no must see TV from any company. Kids/teens have a million other avenues to entertain themselves vs back 10-20 years ago, so obtaining growth from that market is very difficult. Not a lot of people in their 20's and 30's are all of a sudden going to start liking wrestling, so it's hard to get that market to buy in. So they are left with the wrestling junkies, who will go out of their way to watch any wrestling they can.
But even wrestling fans today don't even have to watch an entire show to stay updated on what happened. you can just go to you tube the next day and watch video clips of what happened. Back then if you missed it, you missed it unless one of the Sat/Sun shows replayed some segments. That's honestly what i do today. If i read something interesting happened, i'll find it on the internet and check it out
i don't see any end in sight to the downward TV ratings. I don't think the live ticket market is in trouble because that's a fun time for families and it's a once or twice a year thing to catch in your area. So people get excited for that. But TV...yeah it'll continue to dwindle.
I'd rather an hr show per company and they don't put the same guys on every week. Go back to basics. But it won't happen because there's way too much ad money to be lost
