Calling it now, Vince will say the rating is low because Cena lost.

Yeah, they'll blame it on the faces losing, and we'll see the same shitty product. This is of course forgetting that the rating has been slipping for weeks, and that Cena only lost at the end of the show.
The WWE needs to really overhaul their product, which is what we've been saying for years. Finally the ratings are beginning to reflect this. Not that they were epic before, but they were always considered somewhat successful. |

Maybe its becuase the product has been shitty for months now, and now they have no star power to keep anyone watching. Maybe, Maybe not.

Why do I get the horrible feeling that Vince will try to fix this by having Cena begin a feud with Snitsky?
Yeah, I don't know how it helps ratings, either, but I don't think Vince cares. |

Well Vince can almost be considered the greatest wrestling promoter of all time, as WWE has reached peaks only one other has come even close too. The problem he has is like most people...inability to change and ego that doesn't allow him to really listen to his companies fans but entertain himself. That's why Paul Heyman who was an absolutely terrible promoter suceeded...where he failed in business, he listened to his fans and had them interact with the product. He just didn't have the business sense to go further. |

To be perfectly honest, if the ratings continue to get this low, I can see the WWE ending the brand split, just for the initial stir it would cause.

They should keep ECW and combine Smackdown and Raw.

But yeah, when everyone comes out asking for a title shot week after week, it gets annoying. It kinda pisses me off that the are always have Kennedy doing it, and losing week after week. It makes him look stupid.

Bottom line, Raw is awful, Smackdown is worse, and the ratings are starting to show it. I used to never miss Raw, ever, but I have'nt watched in two months. I just look at the results and see if anything has changed to make me even cosider watching again, and I'm always right, nothing ever does.
Maybe the ratings finally going in the tank will make something different or for heavin fucking sake unexpected actually happen, like the brand extension finally going away. You can't have a brand extension when their are no stars to fill it. If years ago you would of told me that the WWE would even be surviving without Austin, The Rock, The Undetaker, Jericho, Angle, Benoit, Lesnar, Guerrero, and HHH (eventhough HHH and Taker are returning) I would've told you that it probally would'nt, and well, I'm almost right. |

I know what Monday Night Raw needs, and it's something that I mentioned TNA should use with Test.

The difference between the ratings of ten years ago to those now are huge. Ten years ago, Raw was producing great shows, it's just the people never knew it due to the dire situation of the years 93-95. Those ratings were low but they didnt seem that way for the time, and the thing was that there was nothing but the positive potential for people to pick up on a good product, and the numbers would soon increase.
Now you're seeing the slide..stagnant, boring, predictable programming leading the people flocking away from viewing. These ratings are low and there isnt any bright outlook for the very near future. The low numbers now are scary simply because the shows are also awful. So it's obvious as to why they are low. Totally different situation a decade earlier. |
