oh I'm sure most ppl with the Network month to month fall into the over 21 bracket. We're the ones with the money....and that's why they keep upping old content.

The majority of kids prob only can get their parents to order it every few months or so.

So.... If all they want to do is impress the shareholders and all the shareholders only want money........ Then why not cater to the fanbase that could put the most money in your pocket? The network would have failed and caused them to go bankrupt if it didn't have the stuff the older fans wanted to see.. So are you saying they can afford to ignore us right now in hopes that in 5-10 years the kids now will be us by then and only ackkowledge cena as the goat and Maggle as their JR? That wont work in the social media youtube generation, you cant just hide 20 years worth of programming anymore like when we were kids.. They cant and wont win trying to force this stupid overly scripted over managed shyt.... but maybe vince wants to take the company to the grave with himself, he seem like the type to do some shyt like that.

Didn't watch because of Survivor Series.

So what he said was right, SS had me wanting to take the rest of the year of util RR but raw actually created some fresh feuds and angles.. its not saying all is forgiven but its a small step in the right direction..

WWE shoulda never abandoned the attitude era.

Vince never even wanted to do the Attitude Era. He only did it to compete with WCW and match the crazy TV era that was going on at the time. An Attitude Era-like revamp in today's sensitive climate would never work.
The WWE didn't have a problem with being entertaining and interesting before the Attitude Era. They shouldn't have a problem after the Era either.

Well, to a point you're correct but another reason the Attitude Era even started was because the ratings were tanking shortly after Hogan left people were getting tired of the product during the early-mid 90's.

So I would say it was anything but entertaining and interesting right before the Attitude era started.

If WWE would have kept going on the path they were going during the early-mid 90's WWE wouldn't even exist today and the ratings are very close currently to what they were during that time period.

WWE definitely needs some type of revamp very soon.

Wwf lost a shyt load of sponsors for going to edgier content in the attitude era and they have the capital to do it again. Vince just needs to inform his shareholders (of which he and his family own over 60 percent) that short term pain leads to long term gain

Attitude era had the best storylines, and the scripts during the attitude era of wrestling drew crowds from adults as well as children. WWE and WCW also put out some of the best wrestling games ever made during the Attitude era. EGM never gave a wrestling game a good rating in their magazine, but even they gave WWE's No Mercy a solid rating. Fans back in the mid 90s fukked with Stone Cold, and The Rock heavily, because Vince had both wrestlers with a "don't give a fukk", "Me against the World" type of personas. Stone Cold and The Rock were basicallly the Tupac Shakurs of wrestling back in the mid to late 90s.

People just don't know how big the Attitude era of wrestling was, and how it had a big impact in the mid to late 90s/very early 2000s. The attitude era had grown ass nikkas in highschool, college, and middle aged people with middle class jobs watching that bullshyt. People used to out grow Wrestling during the Hulk Hogan/ Ultimate Warrior era of the 80s by the time they turned 16. The attitude era of wrestling made it okay for grown ups to watch fake wrestling.

My mom had a Rock poster taped on her wall for the longest time.

RAW and Smackdown were legit family get togethers no matter how much fukkery was on the show.
