I don't pay attention on who (or imaginary people), just from what I read from forums, facebook wrestling groups, etc. I was just stating I hate seeing how people are interested into something that really isn't of importance and takes out the fun of being a wrestling fan. And I know I shouldn't really bother with this discussion anymore since now this is plagued by your presence.

So people who judge shows by ratings are imaginary, yet people who think that Daniel Bryan and CM Punk are mega-draws aren't?

Lot of this has to do with looks.
Daniel Bryan looks ridiculous and Punk rocks a neck beard. Change those two things and this thread would be completely different. Don't think Bryan is in Punk's league, for that matter. But, whatever, that's who they have at the next PPV. |

Shit, even the themes would change it all. Daniel Bryan's theme is fucking retarded and CM Punk downgraded his theme.

The low ratings can solely be blamed on the crappy WWE Title belt. Why they didn't change it when Punk ran off the bling belt is beyond me.

That's kinda paying attention. Are you Mitt Romney? Quote:
Look, I understand that "more popular" doesn't mean "better." A lot of my favourite groups are local. I don't expect them to have the national appeal for throngs of fans, and that's fine. But if you're talking about who should be on top, it's not going to be those guys. When you correlate the intelligence of the booking and Vince to the pushing of certain people like Punk or Bryan, has has been done in the past, you're talking business. Not even just "I want." Additionally, if you want to just enjoy the show, why even come into threads like this? You don't care about ratings, great. Why not let those who do talk? Even if they do "enjoy people based on their drawing power," who are you to tell people they're enjoying the show wrong. Do you tell sports fans not to crunch numbers because you're a baseball purist? Quote:
You mean they only count the primary statistic which is most important both to advertisers and WWE? Holy shit! I mean, seriously, there's a reason these numbers are still relied on. The number of people who watch first run is the most important. And I can't remember if it was in this thread or not, but someone mentioned streaming and torrents. Nobody cares about that because you're not contributing to them in any direct financial sense. That is to say, if most of Daniel Bryan's fans watch on the web from sites outside WWE's influence, then they don't matter in terms of whether or not he should be pushed. In fact, they might hurt him. The only exception is merch sales, but as they're already factored, that doesn't really change anything. "Draw" is a term only really important in terms fo revenue stream. The reason people don't count illegal rebroadcasting is because nobody involved makes money off it. And, as redundant as it seems, if guy A makes them money and guy B does not, 90% of the time, they will run with guy A. |

What you're saying makes perfect sense, KK, but who is a draw in the WWE besides The Rock and Brock Lesnar?

Was Shawn Michaels a franchise player? Weren't ratings pretty low when it was him and Bret carrying the WWE?

All I care about is that they don't hastily put another World or WWE title on DB again so soon after losing his first one. He obviously had no idea how to handle the pressures of it and it showed. Give him a few more years, let him earn a couple IC/US titles first. Hell, maybe even a tag title or two.

I dunno, he just didn't sound very convincing or confident whenever he had to give a promo, and the face-to-heel switch mid-run was sorta WTF...

he's just not the greatest/most consistent promo guy as opposed to nerves or a confidence thing, guy earns his spot through the fact not many guys can touch him "bell to bell"

Fair enough. Just really sick of these über-quick pushings of superstars to the WHC or WWE title within months of their arrival in the company. Another thing about DB that needs to go "buh-bye" in a hurry is this stupid "YES!" shit.

Cena end segment killed the show to a 2.94 in the overnights. It's totally Bryan/Punks fault.

PUNK/ BRYAN did a 2.91. They tuned people off as soon as the show started and they never came back.
TNA is catching up because of those two. |

It's May and this week and next is finales on the networks but I guess that is Punk and Bryan's faults as well according to Gertner.

Punk and Bryan are clearly sinking the USA Network and NBC itself! I bet the affiliates will be on the phone to Vince soon, demanding a change! They want the steadily declining ratings of yesteryear, when it was John Cena and Randy Orton's fault!
