I refuse to watch with Roman as champion. Glad I'm not the only one.

Smiling Bob put me to sleep, then I skipped out on the main. Boring show.

Problem is that in the past TV would set up PPVs. The PPV would provide some conclusion that that. TV, while not providing that conclusion still provided key moments and pieces to the story.
Since the network I find PPVs simply set up the next PPV and take the function that tv used to serve. It’s makes the Network PPVs less vital and greatly reduces the value of tv

I wonder if the Braun turn that killed his crowd reactions drove a section of the viewing audience away. *raises hand*I'd bet on it. Straight up killed my motivation to watch the product. I'm sorta-kinda keeping up by reading this forum and watching the occasional YouTube clip, but I'm so done with watching everything fun and interesting get sacrificed on the altar of Project Reigns. It'll be Dean next, and f*** that too.

And just think, Roman Reigns is getting his own 2-hour variety show on Fox next year.

What makes this booking so odd is that Lesnar might as well still be champion. The title still isn't a focal point of anything, it's more of a 6 man faction feud. This Saudi show desperately needs to be the final write off for Lesnar for a long, long time. He had better be the one jobbing in that match. He can take finishers from both men or whatever, but he HAS to be the one looking at the lights.

You KNOW Braun is going to be the one pinned and yet they're still going to expect you to buy him as a threat to the belt afterward.

It really kinda saddens me because I really do miss watching RAW, but it's just so unbearable now, and with all the money they are getting, I know they aren't planning on changing anything.

I dropped a the ball on my foot and I blame that Madlibs is responsible for the Road Dogg joining DX, and all the world's wars.

I get cable cutting, but that’s a very steep drop even factoring cable cutting.
I don’t think the Roman Reigns f***s your mom while Seth and Dean film it show is going over that well.

They earned it
And safe to say since I was removed from the Boards for a week, watching RAW was even more of a slog than usual and I was barely paying attention without the comedy of the RAW Threads here on FAN
It's a shitshow held down by seven tons of bullshit.

It's almost as if years of not listening to their fanbase and conditioning them that nothing on your show matters or has consequence would make people stop watching! Would'a thunk it??

It's almost as if years of not listening to their fanbase and conditioning them that nothing on your show matters or has consequence would make people stop watching! Would'a thunk it?? Pretty much. Fans wanted Braun as the guy on Raw, WWE turns him heel, because of Roman. Fans would have accepted Finn as the guy on Raw, he's not in any storyline. Fans would have accepted Seth or Dean as the guy on Raw, they're just Roman's buddies. And it extends to Smackdown. Fans wanted Becky as the top woman, WWE turns her heel, and is trying to force Charlotte as the face. You constantly tell fans that their voice doesn't matter, and fans will leave. WWE is trying to force what they want onto fans, when fans have rejected them. Funny thing is, fans wanted New Day as faces, and WWE gave that to us. Fans wanted Alexa to be a top woman, and WWE gave that to us. But when fans completely reject what WWE is wanting to do, WWE quadruples down on it, instead of saying "This isn't working. Maybe, we should try something else." 1980s Hogan, 1998 Austin, 2000 Rock, and 2003 to 2005 Cena, were all chosen by fans. And Hogan's really the only guy that WWE had chosen as the guy. Austin got to the top because the fans liked him, and chose him as the guy. Rock got to the top because the fans chose him after his white meat phase was thrown aside. Cena was a never give up bland face, till Stephanie heard him rap, that became his character, and he got red hot. You put any of those guys in the company now, and it seems like Vince would say "You don't want them, you want Roman. Roman's better."

I say this as someone who doesn’t hate Corbin but nobody wants to see him main event or run RAW.

Again I have to ask, what is the breaking point for USA to go "The ratings are too low here, get them up or we're dropping the show"? Because you'd have thought it would have been two million viewers ago.

Because you'd have thought it would have been two million viewers ago. About 10 years ago, that would have been the breaking point, but USA's original shows haven't done so hot. Suits, The Purge, and The Sinner all average just over 1 million viewers an episode. Mr Robot gets less than a million, but it brings in massive critical praise, and this is the final season for it. WWE is still USA's top show, it brings their ratings up, so they'll stick with it.
