Raw ratings continue to hit record lows...is it time for WWE to break out their archive?

[THE 101]

They have damn near the entire history of American wrestling in their archives...greatest hits show would probably do better ratings than this shyt? No point running these bullshyt empty arena shows. No one gives a shyt and its not worth the health risk to the wrestlers or the bad press from it.

A best of the attiude era show would do well. It's time to end this bullshyt.

Right? Even TV shows do clip episodes every now and then

Ratings don’t mean shyt in 2020

Is SD a steady viewership? It’s basic network so they should be ok there. Raw tho...

 

[CM_Burns]

Airing Attitude Era highlights or big Cena/Lesnar stuff would probably do similar or better numbers, yea.

 

[FromStLouis]

It's time to cut that third hour. USA is lucky to be getting anything to air in a time like this.

 

[R=G]

Yes..lets bring back the best of WCW MONDAY NITRO!!

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Good. You know how many special raw shows they could've shown? The first raw,the first raw with DX, the night mankind won the belt...the first raw with wcw..

They obviously didn’t give a shyt about ratings before this and they probably definitely don’t know.

Haven't watched Raw in years, but back when I did towards the end the product was shockingly bad. Show was being carried by Jericho/Owens but they eventually got pushed aside to make room for a Brock/Oldberg rivalry (). If the product is at all similar to how it was back then, watching it with no crowd would border on torture. Ratings being an all time low is expected in that case.

And yet they were still 3rd, 4th, & 6th in the all important demo that has only mattered on Thursdays since October

You’re celebrating 3rd place?

Bronze is the new gold.

This pandemic is going to go on too long that I don't mind them running shows, morality aside. They can't just show clip shows forever.

But yeah, even with not much else on, their viewership has been affected big time by this pandemic and the posters can say "ratings don't matter", but they do. Not as much as they used to, but they do. On top of that, WWE is easily losing a shyt ton of money this year on the things that these posters probably would argue do matter. This isn't their best moment in history that's for sure. But if the networks are happy just to have WWE simply churn out new content, then that's a win for WWE. Small victories.

If this was true, they wouldn’t be reported, and Vince wouldn’t keep appearing on tv to “SHAKE UP THIS PLACE!!”
