But if the ratings in this thread drop but are still then other threads, do we all get to high five each other in main page hallway?

The status quo booking of this thread could lead to problems down the road BUT for now, business is good and our merch sakes are thru the roof.

Caring about these ratings as a fan at all is the true retardation.

I don't think so at all. Caring about ratings is a good way to web interests between professional wrestling, how it's presented, television, marketing and societal trends. The business side of professional wrestling might not be something everyone is interested in, but some surely are.

Who the hell here has said the sky is falling? I can't speak for everyone here, but I don't think anyone has said the sky is falling in terms of WWE's finances. All we're saying is that the quality of creative has and is still falling, which in turn could lead to a downturn in WWE's finances long term and in some cases may already have. No one is saying WWE is going under though. Last edited by BigCrippyZ; 02-08-2016 at 03:22 PM. |

There is no evidence people are no longer consuming the WWE product. So there's no reason to say creative is down. Its just YOUR opinion. Which, again, is irrelevant. |

It's just a talking point and something to reference in regards to the standing of the company and how the product is being received.
There is a value to them, but obviously they don't tell the whole story... just a part of it. |

When did 18-35 become 18-49? I thought 35 was the top of the list of the demo.

Feel like all this "it was number one on this day" or "such and such beat it out" is just fodder. The fact is, ratings are down for Raw. They're consistently losing viewers and consistently have issues holding viewers.
Regardless of what other shows are doing I can't fathom people giving each other high fives in the hallway when news breaks that last week saw yet another drop in viewers. Doesn't seem like something that'd be viewed as celebratory. |

Would love to see a Nattie heel turn and feud with either Sasha Banks or Becky Lynch.

It might be pretty easy to have Charlotte, Natalya & Paige form a loose heel alliance to go against Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch & Bayley.

For some comparison, the post-Rumble show was 4.09 million in viewers. Only the 9pm hour beat out Love & Hip Hop show for the ratings stuff. EDIT: Some confusion going around the next regarding the long over-run being included or not for ratings and viewership but one of the top ratings sources (ShowBizzDaily) states it was included.

I'm guessing nobody bothered to read the financial reports for WWE or listen to Vince himself taking about ratings? Might clear some things up for you gents.

Why do you think companies like WWE try to draw high TV ratings?

Which NO ONE, sans yourself, actually gives a fuck about. Again, it is more of the weekly content that is just so fucking BLEH!!! This Monday, the go home show before a PPV (which their goal should be to up subscribers) the fucking main event had STROWMAN v..... don't even need to go there. Just watch it, it was awful. |

Current speculation for this week's ratings and viewers is to expect a low result for both and even a possible new historic-low.
Actual numbers got delayed by a day but early results for last night's Grammy Awards show has it pulling NFL-range type numbers. |

It was a boring show with a really bad main-event featuring two talents that aren't exactly over huge with their fans. I don't expect the ratings to be pretty, especially for the last quarter.

And they aren't huge because they aren't even featured semi-regularly!
Strowman v. Big Show (who cried b/c of The Rock in a "comedy" spot which was awful). Just for Kane to come up from the ring and have the Wyatt's "running like the New Faces of Fear" should do!!! ![]() Worst RAW I have seen in ages. Barely watched while doing other things. |

By the way, like CyNick, if Vince truly thinks that ratings don't matter anymore and WWE doesn't care about them, why did Vince randomly come back to TV as a character? What was the point if not to drive up the ratings?
