Raw attendance garbage too; Only 50% of seats contained butts

[dh86]

Reason wreslting is dying (WWE wise) is because there is too much emphasis on actual wrestling.

Casual fans who watch RAW/SD was short matches mixed with comedy, vignettes, promos and fukkery.

No one is trying to watch a 20 minute opening match. Not to mention its a 3 hour show now so its like 5 of those 20 min matches.

Save the 5 star matches for the PPVs and rarely on RAW/SD.

bring back fukkery.

That's a lie. How often does Raw or SD ever open with a match? It almost always starts with a set up promo. Especially Raw. People watch WWE for wrestling, you want to bring back the Jerry Springer shyt like it's 1999? Casual fans mean they don't spend $ on WWE. Cater to the diehards.

Diehard will always watch the product no matter what. They need to focus on casuals and have them glued back to the product.

I have noticed a lot of people watch the YouTube top 10 moments for Raw and Smackdown and that it
They can't seem to get those people who are willing to watch the YouTube videos to tune in and watch

Market your product as kid family friend when kids will love something one minute and then turn on it for the next new in thing.
That Vince Russo style of booking wouldn't work in 2017 because of all the shyt going on in the world nowadays we are pretty much desensitized to a lot of thing that would of had us back thing.

Cater to a niche audience brehs. Have 20 minute matches on TV with multiple commercial breaks in between, between the same groups of guys for months, with 0 storylines brehs.

Listen to neckbeard fans who chant fight forever, then actually do that on TV every week.

Wrestling bubble is real. Roman aint the problem, the whole organization is. No entertainment value = no money.

wrestling is cyclical. it'll come back to prominence when they decide to be edgy again.

Slowman doesn't put meat in seats

NJPW MAJOR MAIN EVENTING stars Prince Devitt, Gallows & Karl looking at that crowd like

Bu bu bu bu bu bu they getting catering

With all those seats empty, when Reigns said "I sell out arenas", I would have died if Cena pointed to the crowd and said 'word?' or called out Section 107 being empty as hell.

He couldn't say that tho. According to his logic, those seats should've been filled since he's back and Reigns isn't the guy.

 

[DaHNIC82]

They figure they can just put belts on these indie guys and that would pacify people and shun critics. "Oh you can't complain, Look what we did for this guy!" That's the problem.. People want to feel invested in stories. Why should we want to root for Balor? Why should we want to see the Hardyz fukk up Sheamus and Ceesaro? Why should we want to see Roman knock Cena the fukk out? They don't give us any signification on why we want to root for anyone.

Plus they rode the Cena horse to where theres gonna be barely mileage soon. The Cena effect fukked it up for heels because now every heel that faces him becomes a babyface and a lot of them(AJ Styles for example) aren't even good ones

I always thought no matter what, wrestling will at least survive.

but I dunno sometimes

Might just too be too dumb and low brow for today's society.

It needs to be dumber actually. Go back to what's proven to work.

Ppl want to get lost in the moment and WWE tries to overthink things

I feel like a lot of these pictures are obviously pre-show, look how brightly lit the arena is.

Nah

If it was a main even t taping, they wouldn't have the RAW graphics on the apron and plus you see Nia Jax coming out.

Plus if u watch the ep,you see the camera tricks to show one side. Like during Bray Wyatt's entrance

This is true!!!!

Sadly I'm tired of the wrestling aspect bc these matches drag on too long on RAw and SD.

Every match doesn't need to span 2-3 commercial breaks. Save that for the main event and ppvs

They waste time to avoid writing better.

Remember when Smackdown brand debuted last yr and it was quick hitting, the segments were in and out, funny, and the matches outside of main event were pretty quick.

Then SD got too popular and they made it more like RAW. It's been dragging ever since
