Doesn't matter who's wearing the belt. Mediocre creative = Mediocre ratings, hopefully they'll be smart enough to put the cruiserweights to good use. Just let them do what they do like on the CWC.
I'm not saying they have to go attitude era but they really need to free up the talent some of course they won't.

There was a time (GOATsso penned era) that RAW would BEAT football on Monday nights, so that excuse can :camby:

The week of August 24 was the stuff of legend. The two shows set a new combined ratings record: 9.72 in 7,169,000 homes. Meanwhile, on ABC, the debut of Monday Night Football, featuring a Green Bay Packers versus Denver Broncos preseason Superbowl rematch, did a 9.5. Realistically, because network TV is in more homes than cable, football actually beat wrestling 9.3 million homes to 7.2 million. However, it soon became “common knowledge” (read: “urban legend”) that pro wrestling was so hot that it was beating Monday Night Football in the ratings. Even at its peak, this was never the case.

But wrestling was legitimately hotter than a lot of other sporting acts and concerts, as evidenced by folks who tried to sell tickets to these events in classified ads over the summer. In the San Antonio market, for example, 75 percent of fans used Nitro or Raw in their bold headlines. “WCW NITRO,” the ads would begin, and then underneath it would read: “Yes, Elton John.”

from The Death Of WCW :comeon:

Or maybe people dont wanna watch Wrestling on Monday night?!!? :dahell: People grow outta the shyt..

Maybe not live but people are still catching up on Hulu and people still come back around Mania season.

Edit: With that said, WWE better be happy that they have a bigger international audience now cause otherwise they'd be screwed.

One of the biggest problems is them forcing the woman down our throats.
The girls they have are stuck between s3x objects and athletes.
They take up almost 1/3 of the shows now.
We watch wrestling to see odd balls, lunatics and david vs golliath.
I dont know where this fits in.

Also Cena is a good guy, but his in ring persona is boring,.
Roman is even worse...

They need to go back to one show badly, and go easy with the network.
They have over spread the brand and its lost its exclusiveness..
Its like Tommy Hilfiger.

You're mad women that often generate better reactions than some of their male counterparts and can put on good matches are able to take up an hour (which I don't think is accurate btw) of a THREE hour show???
