WWE RAW rating, lowest in 18 years (2.33)... Time to just bring back Vince GOATsso

[Da King]

Hire out of work Hollywood sitcom writers who wish they were anywhere else to run your creative brehs

They will never give the book to Heyman. Steph hates him and Vince has too big of an ego to let Heyman run his program. Vince would rather watch his own creation burn to the ground than to let Heyman revive it.

What's the story on this?

 

[Box Cutta]

First of all, fire Dunn.

We've been saying this for close to a decade now. We are not gonna see major changes in WWE's product (storyline and look wise) unless that useless fukk is out of there.

Pretty much how I feel.

They can't even excite people with a different look every now and again because of that gerbil tooth lame.

All kinds of stuff they could be doing in regards to entrances, backstage segments, off-site shooting, etc etc etc. But these dudes are content as hell to have 2 people standing awkwardly in front of a flatscreen for every damn segment.

Without a present day WCW, WWE has no reason to innovate

Yup, Vince hired GOATsso out of desperation the week after RAW hit an all time low rating for that time, he has no wrestling competitors but the problem is he's competing with everything else on TV. So he thinks corny dialogue, 30 minutes promos, cartoon segments will compete


The problem isn't TV-PG, you can have intense adult oriented content without blood and alcohol

What do they expect when the fans only care about a handful of guys on the show.

What's the story on this?

Heyman was head writer on SD! in 2002. Heyman's version of SD! was like ECW where he took guys that hadn't been pushed much and played to their strengths and he hid their weaknesses. He turned out a great product. They called it the "SD! six" era because the main guys who was pushing besides Brock and Taker were Eddie, ******, Rey, Edge, Angle and Chavo. they put on a wrestling clinic.

In the meantime Steph was head writer overall for the company and used to battle with Heyman over dumb shyt. SD! was actually beating RAW in the ratings at one point but Steph and Vince don't like the idea of someone like Heyman achieving what they couldn't. Heyman butted heads with both. Steph blamed it on Heyman not being a "people person" and not being a "team player" but that's all corporate bullshyt. Steph didn't like him because he is a legit wrestling genius and he had SD! at #1.

SMDH...they are jealous that Paul Heyman knows what works. They say the same thing about Black people who don't "play the game" in corporate America.

Heyman speaks on the viewership loss

Heyman spoke with Scott Fishman of Channel Guide Mag this week to promote Saturday night’s WWE Network special from Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Here’s what Heyman said about WWE’s recent downturn in viewership:

“I think if there is erosion in the ratings then we are in a cycle within the industry where fans are going and looking for or finding other interests,” Heyman said. “This is not dissimilar to any other forms of entertainment. The key has always been to replace those who leave, to bring in more fans at any time you are losing fans. At this particular point in time there is a search to find the new fan. I am not one who looks at the ratings every Tuesday and says, ‘Well, we haven’t replaced everybody that is left. The ratings didn’t double.’ I’m not expecting that type of increase tomorrow or the next week or the week after that.

“Any business with longevity, and this is the one company in the business that has survived, deals with this. They survive because when there was an erosion of the audience and they had to replenish the audience, there isn’t a panic. Panic is never the answer. Panic never brings up the ratings. A long-term solution is with a number of brand new stars, all in compelling situations with riveting storylines and new matchups. That is what will bring an upswing to the ratings ever so slowly to where the average rating goes up a little bit each month. Then a couple of years from now the erosion have taken place of the people that have left being fans and a new generation or group or crop of fans has come in. It’s natural evolution of any form of entertainment.”

Good. Maybe they will change things around but I know nothing will change until Vince and Dunn are gone.

Until then I will continue to boycott and not watch anything WWE related.
