The Super Bowl was Sunday, it’s very cold out, people are still mad at commercials, it’s not that the show sucks.

And in other news, scientists have discovered that big flat thing above our heads is called the sky, and, in a really bombshell, discovered that it's the color blue. Quick! We need to pull the emergency Swerve lever bro! If it led to the return of doo rag Vince I might not actually be as against this as you might think.

There's absolutely nothing on the show right now that's making me scramble to tune in that I can't already get better synopsis on their YouTube channel or any of the various threads on this site instead.
They need to change the writing staff guard fairly quick if they want to even attempt to get the kinds of numbers rumored to be needed in their Fox deal in less than 8 months from now.

Yeah, if Raw during Mania season can't even hit 3 million viewers I have absolutely no clue how SmackDown in October on Fridays is supposed to get anywhere close.

WWE cares more about characters' last names than it does about ratings crashes, and it shows.

Lol.
WOR said that WWE's searching for answers as to why ratings are low and now the company's going to start taking a lot of risks now to appease tv partners and future revenue streams.

Oof, it shouldn’t be this difficult to realize why ratings are tanking lmao hopefully these risk are a good thing and not more “Alexa gets turned on by fellow competitor” segments.

Live television continues to lose numbers to streaming services and other on-demand luxuries. Only the truly die-hard are sitting enamored in the product for a solid 2-3 hours a night. There MIGHT be a solid 5-10 minutes of action worth watching, but I guarantee you those moments are already on their YouTube channel within hours of going to broadcast. These numbers will continue to fall until they give people GREAT reasons to tune in, and the excitement and hype normally leading on the Road to WrestleMania has thus far been plagued with injuries, filler matches, and lackluster segments that continue to be their MO for the last several years. MAYBE it'll get better after Elimination Chamber, but I'm not holding my breath.

When the segments people enjoy can be summarized in either a YouTube video or an animated gif, you need to do a hell of a lot more with the product than just expecting people to still show up in droves when the product hasn't had any radical presentation changes since 2008.

I bet more Drew and Baron segments would solve this problem

Redundant matches,
recycled storylines where we just have two guys fighting for the same reason two other guys are fighting
No real pushes, you’re catipulted into a championship usually based on how you perform in one match
If you lose the match it doesn’t matter, you’ll wrestle another dozen times in the coming months

I know it's not easy to go back on, but a 3 hour show a week is just a chore to get through even when it isn't bad, I just ended up skimming the results and catching up on the parts that intrigue me.
