WON: Less women watching even with more time being devoted to the women & Ronda positioned as the biggest star
It wasn’t as bad a show a recent weeks, but the overall vibe of the company felt worse, as I’ve seen the results of telling your audience your product is cold on your own show. It’s never a good thing. This show was the first time I really felt a WCW vibe to the product. Now, their TV deals are so strong that they are in no danger like WCW was, since they had to survive based on paying fans to shows and PPVs. If WWE was in the old environment, this product, even as a monopoly product, would be in trouble since house shows are down to break-even and I’m not sure how well the current events other than the big three would do as PPV shows.
They’ve also changed the announcers to be more argumentative, which has also made things worse. One person in the company who is a strong supporter of Renee Young as talent noted that they are turning her into a Stepford Wife. Vince is terribly overworked now and doesn’t sleep, the format has become stale but there is incredible talent there. But some of the best talent in the company is in NXT right now, but they are so slow to incorporate it and make those changes that it has become stale, plus he way they book makes everyone feel like a midcarder and you need a few larger-than-life superstars and not a bunch of worker bees who fill time while everyone waits for the family members like they are the real power and the real stars. Now, you’ve got no family members on Raw, and Reigns and Strowman are gone. And in the strangest thing of all, the more time they devote on the show to women, the less women watch as that’s the big declining demo, even with Rousey positioned as the biggest star in the company. Having Rousey weekly probably isn’t the best idea, because she’s not seen as special, and also, relying on her as the star is trouble because she’s probably not going to be there for the long haul since she’s talked about leaving and starting a family at some point, although that’s not any time soon. |

I thought Becky and Alexa started wearing tight leather pants for me.

I don't think it's the women turning off women, but that they are turning off women isn't a surprise.
