Except that the ratings have been nose diving for years and attendance is down. And that's due to the completely trash product. People have been walking away from the product for the longest. But due to the state of TV rights at the moment, they've still found a way to get a good deal, despite the fact the product is completely cold and they're basically irrelevant in pop culture.

They didn't get the billi from Fox because of Roman Reigns.

They got a good deal because a lot of people watch the shows every week, what do you mean? Lowered ratings and attendance are irrelevant if they still pack a lot of houses and a large number of faithfuls are consistently watching every week. Add up the merch money and Network subs, they've been making more money than ever. The numbers clearly show business is booming, because a lot of people enjoy and desire the brand. So then to Vince and co, why try to fix something that isn't broken at all?



Also this being relevant in pop culture thing is so antiquated when to the company, social media trends + occasional pop culture shoutouts and memes + crossover names like Ronda Rousey and John Cena is probably more than enough visibility

What I’d like to know is how they got so big a deal with their audience consistently shrinking for nearly 20 years straight now.

Because everything else has plummeted worse besides the NBA. You see the VMA’s ratings?

But they're not really packing houses...dont be fooled by situations like greatest Royal Rumble. Those are anomalies...not a regular thing. Attendence is comical at times with their tarped off upper decks.

It’s amazing the lengths they go to make him seem like he’s not a big deal.
Ot might have to do with the Miz storyline. He keeps bringing it up all the time about him not main eventing...and Bryan and Miz are gonna keep interacting for a long time. This is just the beginning. After the mixed match thing, they might have everyone team on Smackdown who matters if AJ doesnt defend the belt at Survivor Series..it might be Joe who wins it next month or it's going to Miz to get to a long payoff Miz/Bryan title match at Mania 35.

Dude been top 3 merch sellers for years now and I never see people in the audience wearing Roman gear.

Because all his fans live in Japan
