Damn they really had Seth go out there and trash the writing on the show? Lol. Why not just improve the writing on the show? They have become a hybrid of 2011 TNA and 2000 WCW. I dont even think on vince mind it is trashing the writing. It is just vince throwing in the viewers(more specific of what Vince ASSUMES is not a big demogrpqahic of complainer) face what they dislike and that it is not gonna change.

You know what I find humorous about this? Rather than facing the criticism and owning up to his out of touch decisions, Vince is using Corbin as an avatar to take the heat. Fans aren't stupid. They know Baron Corbin isn't responsible for booking the product, so if they keep booking like shit to try and put heat on Corbin, it won't work. Viewership will just continue to drop.

Am I alone in thinking this promo sucked?
Why would Rollins, a face, be going to bat for the Revival, a heel tag team? Why is Rollins, the valiant workhorse of WWE, talking about TV ratings? How could Baron Corbin possibly be to blame for Drake Maverick pissing on Bobby Roode's robe?
It was the worst kind of worked shoot bullshit - poorly-delivered and nonsensical given the kayfabe narrative.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's this cat.Hey, when did Corbin lose his hair? Personally I think he should have gone with a skullet.

They should NEVER comment on the fact that their ratings are low, ESPECIALLY if it is the case that they just had their worst ratings ever.
You should never point out to the fans that the product is becoming less popular.

I know it gets thrown around a lot, but I solemnly swear that a lot of times last night I got WCW 2000 flashbacks. And I watched a lot of WCW 2000 when I was a kid because I am a terrible person and enjoy a good car crash.

I had no problem with the first one, he can admit their work is good even if he doesn't like the people. The other stuff? Yeah doesn't make sense coming from him.

Ok... I guess I was wrong with something I posted earlier >_> <_< In kayfabe it's really weird. His chief complaints were all against the faces. The Revival should be contenders, the Lucha House Party are assholes, the pee jokes are lame. I didn't watch but I was reading about that segment and getting kind of excited that WWE were gonna go into ratings panic mode, but then the thing just sounded like every Raw for the last while afterward. That's really my take on it. Ok, you admitted the product isn't very good right now, you have openly admitted just about everything is at an all time low due to the booking and writing. So are you gonna do something about it, or are you going to literally become WCW 2000 and say the company constantly sucks in a shooty fashion and do nothing about it. That solves nothing, it's kinda one of the reasons WCW died. but as I have said when people post like Vince Russo is talking about what's wrong with Raw and he's right! pointing out flaws is easy... actually you know fixing them? That's the hard part... (And in Russo's case it is always like let's make it like 1997 and awful, bro!)

It's like when a screenwriter acknowledges a plot hole by having a character state it out loud.
