I think that people here do grasp that, and I don't think it's fair to suggest otherwise. Granted I've not been here long and I can only go by what I've read in recent discussions.

You are absolutely right when you said "The problem is RAW is meant to and needs to appeal to more than just a small percentage of total wrestling fans" and likewise, RAW needs to appeal to more than a group of kids and that is the point it seems people are trying to get across. I get the impression there is a lack of identity behind the show. Either you make the show a kids show and change the time it's broadcast (and the products that you're sponsored by) or accept the show is aired at a time when most kids are in bed so your audience is predominantely older and cater for them. A balance needs to be found and I think people will continue to switch off until someone works out what that balance looks like.
