From Observer's Dave Melzter on WWE's ratings woes and why its getting worse this year compared to sports.

The only demo where they average around the same decline percentage as tv in general is the over 50 group due to it being their main demo.

He says Sports and TV ratings are going down to digital platforms but not to a degree of 25% per year in any way, shape or form. Last weeks Raw and Last weeks Smackdown are down 25% uniformly.

Demos, from 1 year ago to now.

Teenagers are Down 29% on last year.

18-34's are Down 37% (!) from last year. He emphasizes this sucks.

35-49's are Down 27% from last year, he also says that is horrendous.

50+'s are down 10%, this is the likely demo that watches the show regularly.

So if you go under the ages of 49 years old, WWE have huge drops in every demographic from 1 year ago.
