Her last two real fights ended with her laid out on her ass, now WWE thinks the mainstream wants to watch her now settle for play fighting? 
How long will Rousey keep the Ratings up?

Aint gonna watch tv but will catch her first PPV
A month at best. Ronda will do what they brought her in for and bring some eyes on the product; WWE will fail to uphold their end by providing an overall entertaining and inticing show to give those new viewers a reason to stick around.
Ronda coming in is a novelty, and novelty wears off. WWE has to provide something that people will want to sink their teeth into and come back for week after week. All one needs to do is look at current ratings and tickets sales and see that doesn't happen for the most part outside of their increasingly hardcore fanbase.

She's gonna have no effect if she's not consistently on TV.

I actually don't have anything against Ronda, but the way her career turned out it just makes it seem like she couldn't hang in real fighting so she ran away to WWE where she could just fake it.
So, while people were surprised and even happy to see her @ Royal Rumble... now she's gonna have a hard task in winning the wrestling fan over long-term.
Also her pointing at the Mania sign was awkward as fukk so I know she's gonna have a real hard time being natural when she's out there.

She won't have much effect on the ratings. Maybe when she was undefeated it could have brought viewers but nobody is checking for her like that. The money spent on her contract could have been spent hiring better writers for their shows.

One or two weeks tops.
People will tune in to see what she does, see howthe show is then promptly change the channel.
Can't contribute to the ratings of you're not even there
First thing she has to do is show up
They said full time contract and she's already skipped two shows

Exactly...
Everybody at that point was fully aware wrestling was fake, we watched because the characters and overall direction of the product was entertaining...
The attitude era had style and swag, today's product is the exact opposite, every time I've tried to watch WWE I immediately turned the channel...
These guys have no style, no swag, nobody wants to watch a bunch of corny roided up flamboyant metrosexual underwear models in tights "PG" fake fighting each other...You have to really love pro wrestling to put yourself through watching the current product...

If she came over undefeated. People dont realy care about her like that no more. But im sure she has some stans
Right, I mean if she came to WWE back in 2015 when people were falling for the whole "Baddest Woman On The Planet" "Baddest Since Mike Tyson" shtick then it would be different.
But this is seen more of a "I got my ass kicked in MMA so let me go to choreographed fighting instead".
Never, it sends a message that the Women's division is shyt.

Shes not really that type of crossover star. She will get ESPN and GMA pub but she wont boost ratings like that

that is the part about all this that has me
one doesnt go from UFC then dabbles in movies then goes to WWE, thats hustling backwards. You look at the limited role she had in FF7 and expendables3 and its clear she doesnt take direction well and quite frankly performance arts isnt her forte. I mean what happened to that female roadhouse movie? Not doing any more media due to what holly did to her and this is the same person that is going to be able to cut a promo and sell herself to fans? i do not know
