Current Events > WWE Raw ratings now under 2 million

(+) Yeah! (+)

I wouldn't blame any of them for being bad on the mic since every single word is scripted and they have to memorize like 20 pages per segment.

WWE ruined NXT call-ups. Hope they protect Aleister, EC3, and Velveteen Dream.

Is Raw on WWE Network yet?

They did it to themselves with pisspoor decisions over the past 13 years. They buried everyone for Cena and then buried everyone including Cena for Roman. The Universal title is a joke, Smackdown is never allowed to succeed, 90% of the NXT call ups are ruined by the main roster creative. There's zero reason to invest into someone since Roman is the only one allowed to succeed. The women's division was the same until recently with Charlotte getting the Roman push and Alexa dominating the roster. SD is at least lucky enough to have Becky, but Raw has to suffer through Ronda. I don't know if it's possible to fix all the mistakes they've made over the past decade.

If SD gets any traction on Fox, WWE may reconsider the need to keep USA involved at all.

I wish. I think USA might still have that 30-day leash on new episodes.

You guys should check out Velveteen Dream if you like characters

Back in the day , the promos just build the matches better, made people care more. This is little bit before my time...but even watching this today I want to see this match.

This is the main issue. Allow wrestlers to be themselves instead of scripting everything. That will solve so many problems.

Good it's sucked for like 16 years now

That's funny cause 2002 is exactly when I stopped watching it regularly.

I watched it pretty much all the time between 1988-2002.

It started dying once da late great Viva la RAZA Eddie Guerrero passed away

This is literally me. I restarted watching RAW/Smackdown just last year when I saw Shinsuke Nakamura's antics.

I watched wrestling seriously from the late 90s to early 2010s.

It's just so fucking boring anymore. The PGing of the show really killed it for me. There's no cool characters like Taker and Mankind anymore, or entertaining foul mouths like Steve Austin.

I never watched WWE for the "wrestling", but more for the entertainment, and they haven't been entertaining in years.

Wow

Just Wow

What a promo, makes the wrestlers these days looks like charisma vacuums.
---

Their biggest problem is that they're still trying to treat RAW as the A show when all the good talent is on Smackdown
---

Also a big thing is that , Raw doesn't have champion. While it is Brock who careers is PPV buys does not make up for missing Champ on the A show.
