An observation only someone would say to defend the company. :sas1:

I'm just looking at the facts :manny:

Nobody is trying to watch these shows without actual crowds. The Wednesday shows numbers combined are probably the baseline of the hardcores that are going to watch anyway so the shows with the bigger audience losing people during this & getting closer to that number ain't really a surprise unless you're living in a bubble.

They did 3 of the top 6 hours of TV Monday going by the demo so who is supposed to care right now if that's the thing that really matters? USA Network? Raw, NXT, Paid Programming, & religious shows are the only things that even charted in the top 150 last week for USA so I doubt their too upset right now even with numbers dipping.

Not time to empty the archives, but time to change up the show format.

They're running empty arena shows with absolutely no difference, as if nothing's happening. My girl flipped on SmackDown one night out of curiosity, and they were doing the show opening promo train thing. Complete with dudes looking around all bewildered when someone's intro music gets played. It was surreal.

WWE's problem has long been that so many of their shows feel the same as one another. Now is the absolute worst time to have that problem, since due to the pandemic, most of their viewers are living through days that all feel the exact same since they're stuck inside. Why spend two to three hours watching monotony when you just spent an entire day experiencing it?

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.


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