I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s a puzzle to be connected between Vince/Linda being the biggest Trump foundation donors, Linda being in the cabinet and up for a promotion, Saudi Arabia, and FOX giving them this kinda deal.

Man they getting WCW type ratings before it died. Only this time there’s no competition taking them out, that makes this even worse. They need to go back to work made them successful in the attitude era. Also the women’s movement is a great novelty, but it’s not drawing ratings. And that’s simply because normally the demographic for wrestling is men. And with the #MeToMovement, it’s played out.. Men want a place where they can watch man shyt.... Everything is Pussified now... Again I’m not against women’s wrestling but, they normally don’t draw much. And without any superstars or compelling story lines the show is just utter shyt.

Also I remember once upon a time I read that they want to make wrestling like a make soap opera, has anybody actually paid attention and noticed that soap operas are almost all but extinct? I think it’s time to change with the times WWE.!

Stop pussifying my wrestling and man the fukk up!

Ronda was UFC’s biggest PPV draw when she was there. Her last fight against Amanda Nunes (a complete no name at the time) did 1.1 million buys on a Friday night. I’ve illustrated that there’s a difference between MMA fans & wrestling fans and they’ve overstated the crossover, but it’s very simplistic to blame this on focusing more on the women. As far as a business question, having women wrestlers taken seriously is a plus for business and that’s beyond debate. Between having a lane for moms to bring their daughters to shows, and having corporate synergy with their blue chip sponsor, Mattel. Between Sasha Banks, Naomi, Ember, there’s distinct black female characters on the show that I can watch with my nieces. I got my 6 year old a Sasha Banks T shirt & glasses for Christmas last year. Now quality wise, you still gotta fill 3 hours, so less women means more Mojo Rawley, Titus O’Neil & Zack Ryder.

Also WWE hardly every hires ugly women. Bayley may be average looking for a tv star, but you think an in shape, heavily endowed Mexican woman is turning men off the product? Even including the 300 lb foil in Nia Jax, they’re all attractive and not off putting.

This is what happens when you center both shows around the women and make the male wrestlers an afterthought. The perfect formula was the 02-05 blueprint, the men were still the focal point but the top women also had their time.

Regardless of men or women, you need actual stories and characters to invest in, and the WWE rarely provides that. It’s just aimless repetition of matches with no focus.

That’s the thing breh, this roster is very talented in ring and they have the potential to be good in the character department but that’s all it is, potential. Rollins putting on clinics every week but it’s not even exciting really anymore, it’s just a damn exhibition with nothing behind it. The thing that makes NXT so good is that there’s 5 star matches with a story behind it.

Last episode of Raw, according to Dave, the reason why baby faces won and there was less heat was because Vince felt like Texas needed a smile after George Bush's death.

Vince McMahon Reportedly Rewrote All Of Last Monday's RAW Hours Before The Show - Wrestling Inc.

There have been several complaints by fans over the last few weeks regarding the quality of Monday Night RAW's programming. Whether it is inconsistent booking or bad promos, it has not been a good month for Vince McMahon's TV programs. Add in the fact that this week's RAW had its lowest audience in history, there is a cause for concern.

When it comes down to it, Vince himself might be to blame for the writing of the show, for this week at least. On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Melter discussed how RAW was booked this week. In case you missed it, there was a different tone to the show. The babyfaces had the advantage throughout the night, something that hasn't happened in previous weeks. Finn Balor fought back against RAW's heels and Ronda Rousey stood on top at the end of the show. Meltzer indicates that outside forces were a result of the change in tone.

Meltzer reported that McMahon didn't arrive to RAW in Houston, Texas until 3 p.m. CT, about three hours before the show began, because he was with his mother who lives in the area. The show was rewritten by him at the last minute to give it a more happy vibe due to the death of President George H.W. Bush, since they were in Texas. In order to lift the somber mood in the area, Vince wanted to make the fans go home happy.

As noted, McMahon also reportedly rewrote last week's show as well, which was widely panned as one of the worst in recent memory.
