WWE Raw posts lowest ratings in modern era

[JerseyBoy23]

I know WWE has an obligation to air a new show every week but they should just give up for the fall season. It's not only MNF kicking their ass, they're losing to Love and Hip Hop too.

The excuses for SD starting before the show even airs.

The entire product is cold as hell right now, including the show your likely faves are headlining.

It's true though. When RAW is bad, people are already tired of WWE (and wrestling altogether) for the rest of the week.

Not in total viewers but yeah they're losing to it in regards to people 18 and 49.

That show long storyline over the last two weeks of “WILL DEAN TURN!?” Is a failure, either do or don’t saturday and leave that. And Corbin as GM did a number on their number.

They've been losing to Love and Hip-Hop for years. Along with most of those night time political shows.

Outside of the shield and Drew McIntyre Dolph Ziggler, and Braun beef... and this Elias angle with Leo Rush, what else is captivating

Cena would also just be another guy on the roster in this climate

Not SuperCena

There's no mincing words: the shyt ain't good. It's not even that it's just bad. Bad can be entertaining when done a certain way. Raw is bad and boring. Raw doesn't even make for good background noise these days, which is all I really use it for while I'm in bed playing video games or trying to fall asleep. Even if you want to watch just to see the talent you like, they likely aren't doing anything of note so there's nothing to grab ones interest.

But then, there's no incentive to try. WWE has mastered getting what money they can out of the fans they have left. Add in the international tours, the TV deals, and no real competition (if you want easily accessible live wrestling with the highest production values, it's WWE or nothing) and they're too big to fail at this point. Nothing will get them to change.

We don't watch this fukking GARBAGE

I for one can't believe that a show currently featuring 5 or 6 straight appearences from the Ascension, including Konnor actually being on a winning streak isn't bringing in the numbers.

This. Last month, I tuned in to RAW for two straight weeks and both episodes were trash. I tried giving it a chance just to see if there was anything I might miss, and there wasn't. Three hours feel like six hours. Every week, it's the same old shyt so no matter what storylines they attempt, or who ends up winning a championship or who opens/closes the show, the creative direction doesn't change. It's been at the same level of quality for about a year now. The last time the show felt interesting to me was when Cena and Reigns were feuding.

I'm not going to bother with RAW for as long as I can because SmackDown and the occasional PPV is more than enough. Sick of this show and its one hot segment every ten week average.

So many shills on Twitter are defending this that it's getting sad. You can always tell who's holding out hope for a job at WWE by their reaction to negative WWE stuff.

All these "ratings don't matter" takes on social media like FOX didn't pay them 1 billion to have steady ratings on a Friday.
