When is someday? People hated John Cena for literally a decade. WWE ignored the boos and pushed him as #1 for 10 years. The same exact people saying it's gonna bite them in the ass at wm 22 were watching Roman Reigns close out wrestlemania 32. In a stadium 4 times larger than the 2006 show. Maybe by wm 42 people will grow a spine and stop watching?

WWE Monday Night Raw Television Ratings | 2xzone.com

February 27, 2006 4.0
March 6, 2006 4.0
March 13, 2006 4.1
March 20, 2006 4.3
March 27, 2006 4.2
April 3, 2006 4.1

Pretty sure WWE's not pulling anywhere close to 4.0's right now, so it's not the "same people". Cena marked the high water period for their ratings. They were satisfied getting the 3.0's when Cena lost the 4.0's, then the 2.0's. There was always an excuse that blamed the fans.
:manny:

Still, we're just going to skip over this part huh.

"No, I don’t miss it, because what’s on TV now isn’t what I used to do. So it’s easy not to miss.”

So them snatching up famous indy wrestlers in the past 10 years has nothing to do with fans still watching, huh? :martin:


Hardcore fans do not and have not tuned in for Cena. Theyve tuned in in spite. Its not about "growing a spine" its about them not being able to continually follow their favorite wrestlers unless they watch. How about Vince grows a spine and admit his show sucks and the same indy guys with their "flippy shyt" is keeping the only interest in his current product?


Fact of the matter is Vince has never had talent to run a wrestling company. All Vince is is a money mark with an outdated branding strategy. Stop blaming hardcore fans for his ineptitude.

Brock Lesnar :francis:

Triple H :francis:

I think Roman Reigns is sick of having to carry old men to 5 Star Classics :francis:

This is the type of attitude that will bite them in the ass someday, they've definitely lost fans. They thought when WCW died all their fans would gravitate to WWE, and that didn't happen. Those fans moved on to something else.

This is true MMA in particular is eating GOOD off former attitude era wrestling fans. Like you said that "they're not going anywhere" mindset isn't gonna fly forever.

Roman Reigns 5 star match? :scust:

hes def gotten better but his matches bore the fukk out of me...basically anybody at the top of the card who is a Triple H guy has a boring ass match...Randy Orton, Trips, Roman...they all have the same slow put you to sleep match...im willing to sit through a boring match for an RKO though.

How is that a fact? He has run a profitable wrestling company for 35 years. Look at wwf when Vince took over from his dad compared to now. He turned a Northeast US company into a global one. Money marks by definition don't care about turning a profit. You're just making shyt up at this point

Since Triple H is in control of the show and is all up in the videos, does this mean that a certain group lost? :jbhmm:

Shouldn't he be proud of the product since Cripple H NXT call ups are peppering the show? Lol.

Only guy Michaels talked about nonstop since 2013 was Bryan...that was it. And his fans on this board hated Bryan with a passion:laugh:

Yeah that kind of mentality is dumb as hell. Overall the ratings and interest in wrestling is at it's lowest.

Be respectful when you talk about HBGOAT, after all without him there is no Daniel Bryan :ufdup:
