omg!! ratings are down...
who fukkin' cares?!
pro wrestling reached its' peak and the days of the Attitude Era are over. you will never see numbers like you did back in 1997-2002.
at the end of the day, it's not even about numbers, it's about content. i think people today want something more authentic as opposed to what's fabricated because of the falsifying digital age we're living in (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Likes, Dislikes, etc.)
i'm more into MMA now because you have real fighters like Israel Adesanya, Jon Jones, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tony Ferguson, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal bringing the spectacle of entertainment to real fighting with no scripts. the drama is there but the outcome and consequences are real. how can you not cheer that?
maybe i've outgrown wrestling, but common sense tells me reality > make believe.
the Rock knows this...

Honest question. Do you prefer documentaries and true crime shows over movies and TV shows?

The crossover for survivor series is compelling.

I knew something wasn't right last night when they didn't show the crowd.

Do ya'll even read what ya'll type before you post? It always comes down to numbers and if the numbers get too low the product gets bushed. MMA ratings aren't setting the world on fire and the digital age you speak of needs numbers to matter as well.
You know they haven't been loading up NXT with main talent, which is why you went etc after only 3 namesWWE loading up NXT with main roster talent and still losing every week

Also why did you put Adam Cole as main roster talent?

I don't know anything about that
But shyt.... @Rell84shots what more do I need to say? Finn Balor is full time down there, Asuka and Kairi Sane just defended their titles, now The O.C. is down there making an appearance and Adam Cole just main evented both Smackdown and RAW this week..
Beyond that Triple H, Regal, Shawn Michaels are all appearing characters. How is this in any way a developmental? Even the guys who have not yet appeared on RAW or Smackdown are names from the indies or Japan or Mexico.
It's a 3rd brand. If NXT starts beating AEW cool.. it's a competition, in no way is NXT handicapped lol. For the record, just like DC and Marvel, I watch both.

The women's titles are supposed to be defended on all the shows. Finn Balor didn't belong on the main roster and The OC showed up as the only main roster talent to respond to the NXT invasion, which was weird since I'm sure the ratings show that people expect more to show. Regal is the GM of NXT and has been since 2014 so of course he'd be there. Triple H hasn't appeared since the debut episode on USA so it's not like he's a constant present onscreen. No dog in this fight since i don't gain anything, i'm just stating factsI don't know anything about that
