Randy Orton ripped Bubba Ray Dudley (a/k/a Brother Ray) during a WrestleCast interview. "I never liked him," Orton said of Bubba. "I never liked what he did because he only thought of himself. In the match my foot was broken, it was his fault... Bubba Dudley is the most out of shape, fat, non-work-ethic-having person I knew. And you had a bad taste in your mouth when you met him."
Orton also said he's happy he suffered broke a collarbone. "It is really great that I got hurt," he said. "I thank God that I broke my collarbone. At the time I wasn't thankful. I missed work, but being home with my wife the last two months of the pregnancy and witnessing the birth of my baby, which could have missed if I was on the road, that would have been horrible." To listen to the interview, visit the UK Sun website.
Powell's POV: The interview was conducted a day before Orton's motorcycle accident and he covers a lot of ground. He mentions that he took up motorcycle riding as a hobby related to his anger management. He also teased returning at or around SummerSlam, but remember that the interview was conducted before the motor cycle accident that WWE.com reported on.
Orton was very positive with the exception of his comments about Bubba, Test, and Hardcore Holly. He was very open and admitted that he's had several meetings with Vince McMahon regarding his various issues over the years and says he finally realized, 'I can't be like this no more." Very good interview. Highly recommended.
The WWE just had a record financial year in 2016. They're making more money now than ever before.
WWE touting 1.5 million paid Network subscribers
What does that have to do with TV ratings?
You stay bringing that shyt up in threads when it has no relevance whatsoever as if it proves anything.
They're making money because of the business model they've built. It's completely irrelevant to current interest/popularity of the product.
They were pretty consistent from like 2003-2012, that's when it started getting really bad, but it's at record lows now

I’m here for the scraps
Ratings have been declining steadily for nearly 20 years, but let's blame the guys that are over and not management that actively sabotages everyone but Vince's muscleman of the monthTv ratings arent really a good gauge of anything dude
Like who even has cable anymore?
I watch raw and smackdown every week... on daily fukkin motion
nikkas have the internet fam..I literally don't know a single person that still has cable at this point. With that said, obviously billions of people still have it somewhere out there, but that shyts dying a RAPID death. A quick google search will give you a million articles about cables continuing death that point out how amazon, netflix, etc. are on a rapid rise. The game shifted and as much as we laughed at the WWE when they first went the digital route with the network, it was the smartest thing Vince has ever done. As long as the network has subscriptions, they're good...
They're clearly doing great business wise. Record breaking great, so to pretend they're in the shytter because of cable tv ratings is a fukkin joke. Don't be stupid brehs

Both Raw and SD a good amount of ratings under 3.0 as far back as 2005. It's not some new thing
