[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Actually, fact is, Punk's first reign as champ back in 2008 or so brought ratings up higher than they've been outside of Mania season.

You "don't care" that Miz was pushed hard and shoved down throats? That's the whole point, dude. Let's look at them since 2009 or so:

Punk was getting sonned by Mysterio on a daily basis, and his enforcer was almost as pathetic as Chavo's back in ECW. The Nexus he was "given", as you put it, was damn near dead and buried after the brutal sonning by John Cena. It's like saying a guy's lucky for inheriting a mansion that his uncle used to let his pet monkeys shyt and piss in all day.

At the same time, Miz was getting pushed against John Cena almost out of the gate when they started his then-renewed singles run. All that, and the crowd still barely cares about his bland ass.

Meanwhile, Punk started running his mouth a bit more, and bam, there it was--instant top tier face on the flagship show.

BANGARANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

"1. Poor management of storylines (why was half of WCW in the nWo? That faction lasted too long, and the group Vince Russo created dominated way more than they should have. The New Blood storyline came way too late, Goldberg was made way too strong and then killed badly, and Sting and Bret as WCW's biggest faces went wrong by far)
2. Politics (Hogan, Nash, and others using political power to block people from getting over and being champions were part of WCW's demise)
3. Poor management of money (Yes, this was an issue that wasn't that obvious; the fact that they were going to smaller and smaller places over time showed that WCW was not as profitable as it looked)
4. Poor management of talent (the "established" names were getting too much special treatment, yet most of them never affected ratings that much; too many of them got pushes and main-event matches and titles when more dedicated people were left behind)"

We gonna go wrong somewhere brehs

WWE does all this shyt now but remains in business.
