Welp... if history says anything, low ratings ain't the end of the world. Everybody loves '97, but look at that graph- shyt was lower than it is now.

where you been breh? TSC been shytting on WWE for 6 months straight and you ain't here to defend them


On topic though. Product is beyond garbage compared to 97'. And honestly, ratings have been discussed again after Rollins got hurt and Cena left. We had more than a year of people not giving a shyt about ratings declining

At this point is pretty fukking obvious we are trolling when we bring ratings up.

Someone else made one a while ago.

Actually, due to several factors, getting a 2.3 in 2015 is more impressive than getting a 2.3 in 1997. Most shows that are considered ratings hits today would have been failures 5-10 years ago if they had the same numbers that they currently get.

That's not to say the WWE doesn't have an issue, because their audience is tuning out a much more rapid pace then normal. But it's not logical to compare their ratings from a few years ago to now, because TV ratings in general are going down.

Its not impressive when youre on a steady decline. While its true the move to three hours is speeding up the decline, lets not forget that the fans are vocal shytting on the company in live events. If Vince was still private then thats fine but he still has a minority to answer to. They are also running unopposed all year except for football (who destroys them every year) and love and hip hop. Its clear they havent been really trying for years and honestly if not for the network and the new tv deal money bouncing back they would have been in serious trouble by now.

Us celebrating the ratings drop every week isnt to shyt on the wrestlers there but us hoping for a change that isnt coming. The show is a bore so this is how we will have fun from it.

It's well known wrestling was at it's peak during the AE. That's as big as WWE/wrestling will ever get.

Yeah... but it was still live to me I have no idea why the decline began there, reason I cited Rock as a reason
