Star ratings are relevant again?

star ratings, tv ratings, whatever it is, just enjoy things for yourselves and not nobody else.

regarding the title unification, i can see why people want to do that but the tnt title isn't even booked properly at the moment so maybe that should be the focus first. maybe a rebranding of the continental title. or put the tnt title as the tourney one where its featured on collision in the winter and then have the continental be another name and midcard title. they have enough top talent to justify both continental and international. look at wwe for example with cody and gunther as the heavyweight champions. and then LA Knight and Bronn Breaker as midcard champs. you mean that Omega and Okada aren't higher up than those two in comparison? even if one of those were equal to WHC title then even against Gunther its closer tho not as big a gap.

having more titles gives more big stars an opportunity to hold one. imagine having omega, okada, ospreay, swerve, hangman, mjf, white, and who knows who else, and only having one title being held by moxley. at least with 3 it gives more big stars the chance to hold a title. and creates more feuds for titles. they just gotta get better ones for Okada and his title. or give it to someone who they gonna do something with.

Ok how does that affect the overall state of the company

It’s not a talent issue, it’s a time issue. They have too many titles to properly book them all with only four hours of tv.

Either you reduce the number of titles or get more content hours.

At least one midcard title has suffered the entire time ever since they introduced the Continental title.

At least one if not both of the tag and trios titles have suffered the entire time ever since adding the trios titles.

And now they have one less hour to work with every week.

They only have four hours of tv a week. They have eight titles. That means there is only 30 minutes a week, commercial time included, to devote to each title.

Then you still have to book non-title matches to develop two separate tag divisions along with four singles divisions (world and midcard divisions for men and women)

And you also have to carve out time for promos and video packages.

Unless they got another TV show in the pipeline (which by all accounts doesn’t seem remotely close to happening) or want to start doing their own real YouTube show (real as in not being Dark/Dark Elevation tier), then the only other option is have less titles.

Titles are fine if you have the tv time to properly book them. But if you don’t then you don’t need more titles.

You basically doing the same thing Meltzer is.

So you might as well be asked the same question.

Honestly besides Megan/Toni & MJF/MVP

The show left a lot to be desired

Started with a random thrown together tag match

Ended with a main event nobody cared about

With randomness in between

How was that a good show

That’s the effort you earned and deserve.
