Said it before, but ratings will be low up until the fans are allowed to come back. Same with AEW. Empty arena shows aren't appealing to viewers. Yeah, there’s really nothing to tune into. Short handed roster makes it hard to care. You can blame wwe for airing shows in the first place (AEW too, if they are running shows, they shouldn’t be excused from blame.) but I can’t really expect much in these times. They aren’t going to do a Wrestlemania type thing by taping different matches and segments each day for TV

If they put together Best Of shows for various years starting with say 93&promoted it right they'd be doing better than this. Hell, at this rate just put on old episodes of Nitro from 96.

Wrestlers who weren't on RAW last night: AJ Styles (selling the Taker loss) Akam (off due to his partner's injury) Brock Lesnar (go figure) Humberto Carrillo (god knows where he's gone to) Kevin Owens Randy Orton Rezar (torn bicep) Riddick Moss (remember him) R-Truth (yes he's a RAW guy apparently) Shelton Benjamin (him too) Titus O'Neil Becky Lynch (champ taking time off) IIconics (AWOL) Kairi Sane (wouldn't be surprised if she left soon) Natalya (probably found a cat somewhere) Very limited crew last night, and even some of them didn't do matches or appear in in-ring segments. it really seems like it's the Zelina Vega & Friends hours to me.

The ones Raw needs back badly are AJ, Orton, and Owens. Edge as well but I never thought he'd be a full timer anyway. I don't think this is going to get better though. WWE seems like a dying brand in a lot of ways, propped up mainly by incompetent TV executives that didn't notice WWE's numbers had been tanking for the past few years.
I think WWE's shows desperately just need some sort of life to them. The totally empty arena with eerie silence is off putting to people. Just scatter a few people 6 feet apart around the railing to make some noise like AEW has been doing.

One quick question about this:
-Is there a way to calculate the data in the link to rating points like they were for the Monday Night Wars (e.g. 4.0 rating, 2.5 rating)? I would be really interested in how the current ratings related to ratings points compared to years past.

I would be really interested in how the current ratings related to ratings points compared to years past. The 0.__ parts are the actual ratings; TV ratings in general are very far removed from what they used to be though, because ratings are based on the amount of people watching TV on the whole in a night rather than being tied to a concrete number and back when there were vastly less options for TV so viewership was more centralized.

Vince: Times are tough, we need to cut about 30-40 wrestlers.
Also Vince: God damn, we've got no one here! Apollo, you're working twice pal!

I’ve watched roughly 15 minutes of RAW the Patriots month or so and from what I hear there’s no real reason to change my viewing habits.
Every time I’ve put it on it’s been Zelina s midcard warriors. Nothing against them personally but why should I care ?

The contract signing shouldn't have happened in the ring. It should've been a cinematic style segment.
I think the thing is that makes it unique is it doesn't feel like you're watching wrestling when you're watching wrestling, if that makes sense.
Imagine it with music added, maybe the camera getting knocked down during a post signing brawl and Seth "stabs" Drew in the eye with a pen.

I just don't get it. Don't people know that this is essential viewing? How can they not watch? I'd rather watch old stuff right now than new stuff. Last night, I spent nearly three hours watching Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. Now isn't exactly the time to have people still wrestle, especially without an audience.

If the product hadn't been varying flavours of bland for the last 15 years or so, perhaps they'd have more fans willing to overlook the lack of audience and reduced roster. If the company hadn't been varying flavours of douchebag for the last 15 years or so, perhaps they'd have more fans willing to overlook the lack of audience and reduced roster. If the messaging hadn't been varying flavours of "screw you, also worship us" for the last 15 years or so, perhaps they'd have more fans willing to overlook the lack of audience and reduced roster. If the angles hadn't been varying flavours of pointless for the last 15 years or so, perhaps they'd have more fans willing to overlook the lack of audience and reduced roster.
If the characters hadn't been varying flavours of identi-kit cookie-cutter prefab for the last 15 years or so, perhaps they'd have more fans willing to overlook the lack of audience and reduced roster.

Nia matches have been gaining viewers since returning, viewers like her despite what the smarks think of her.
