Raw Rating - 2.55

[DANJ!]

Real Talk: this makes me wonder about the 1990's. How were the ratings for show like WCW Power Hour, World Wide and that Saturday show (can't recall the name).

2.55? And I thought ya'll were clowning.

Nobody even knows the ratings on most of those... cause nobody gave a shyt back then, and neiher should anyone now.

The Monday Night War ended almost 12 years ago... and that was the only time anyone besides the company owners and the networks ever cared what the ratings were.

I have to say, watching RAW right now is eerily similar to Nitro 2000 for me. I find myself watching only out of habit and hoping for someone I really care about to show up or a bright spot to somehow work its way through all the mess. I can remember this same feeling when Nitro was on its last legs and I'd tune in every week to the same crap hoping a Flair, Hogan, Savage, Sting, Goldberg, Nash.. anyone with any type of genuine star power or personality would come back and surprise us all. Instead, we just continued to get more KweeWee, The Maestro, The Wall, MI Smooth, Lenny Lane, Lodi...etc.

I also think that some of the issue is that every match now is WAY to predicable. You know who is going to win almost 99% of the time as soon as its announced. At least during the Monday Night War era you always didn't know who would win. You might have had an idea, but there were always surprises.

Maybe I'm finally outgrowing it.

I've been on the freeway during every main event for quite some time now. Good to see everyone catching up..told you the shyt was NIGH predictable.

Wrestling is dying.

You're not outgrowing anything. There's fault to go around. The leaders of the WWE are lazy..Vince, Steph, and Cripple H. Shane walked away from it clean even though he was the oldest heir which was a sign when you think about it. Creative SUCKS and the even steven booking or the weird shyt where the champion gets beat in non title matches for someone to get a title shot makes absolutely no sense.

Everybody eventually outgrows something they grew up with. Why would wrestling be an exception to the rule? It's just not the same, and while the creative and writing could be much improved, so many things prevent us from viewing wrestling the same way.

Watching The Rock or Austin or Taker lose a match used to bum me out as a kid. Nowadays I can't watch the product with an emotional investment in it and more people display that with the bleh reaction you see at many shows.

That's because every time they try to, nikkas start complaining like, "Why isn't this match on Superstars where it belongs? "

WWE can't solely take the blame on that one.

Yup. And then theyre like "why isnt kofi and truth and zach ryder and sandow in the main event "

Youth makes everything more interesting. Especially shyt like wrestling.

You probably weren't watching it as critically as you do now back then either...

Matter fact most of the stuff we came up watching and LOVE, we'd be on here criticizing the shyt out of if they did it nowadays... ain't a chance in hell a bunch of 25-30 year old smarks in 1990 thought the Ultimate Warrior was great... but they couldn't tell US he sucked, now could they?
