"Right now If you watch WWE programming everyone says 'well, always comes down to Vince and what he wants'.

Here's the thing, yes he's still reviewing all the scripts, yes he's overseeing everything from afar at Titan towers in Stamford Connecticut but he's not in the trenches,he's not signing off at the moment-2-moment stuff at TV. He wasn't in Memphis, or in the SmackDown show, because he's recovering from a nasty quad tear injury. And so, Hunter, rest of Creative and Stephanie are assembling the show. They're the ones who are taking the shots.

So, right now, for all intents and purposes, Hunter is in the control seat and calling shots on Gorilla"
MSL: [Talks about RAW low ratings and laughs]

Court: you seem giddy right now

MSL: I'll be honest whatever the ratings go down, I do get calls from people in the company (WWE) that are giddy. Because they hate working there and want out and they enjoy the downfall.

Court: I don't. I want the days of millions people watching Mondays like it used to be. Dude, I want to be proud of wrestling as a whole.

Yeah man, I grew up in the 90s and as a kid if you didn't watch wrestling, you weren't shit. I even remember getting valentines day cards with Kevin Nash and Christian on them. Everyone had wrestling figures, video games, shirts, you name it.
My personal goal as a wrestler is to make wrestling cool to watch again. I want people to not get second hand embarrassment from seeing my work. I want them to feel like they're watching something special that they don't need to be ashamed about. Heck, I even feel a slight catch in my throat when I tell people I wrestle. They always look at me funny and most of the people I talk to don't even know what pro wrestling is anymore. It's ridiculous, embarrassing and I hate that. I'd do anything to make wrestling big again.

Don't care who disagrees. If Stephanie and Paul Levesque are who will be in charge when Vince passes, this company is already dead. They will be selling to Disney a decade after he's buried. Vince at his worst is better than Stephanie McMahon at her best. Hunter is deplorable and the NXT crowd look past the absolute abysmal track record he has because he put the main roster titles on their indy idols that don't appeal to anyone else. It was HHH who wanted Roman as top guy and coincidentally, it's HHH who is seemingly responsible for diminishing the entire main event RAW scene and title for him. This will be skipped over because he throws up Kliq signs with Owens, though.


This company is toast if these morons are who inherent the keys. Absolutely toast.

:clap Thank you. People don't realize how FUCKED WWE are until it actually happens, which isn't far off.

Steph and HHH will be much worse than any period Vince ever was.

people here always talk about how shitty WWE is to work for and then they express disbelief that some WWE employees take enjoyment in the company's failures?

well if it's such a shitty place to work for why WOULDN'T some of the employees like it when it fails? people feel that way about jobs they hate all the time

Your sign I mean I noticed in the past but Young really does look like John Cena.

Anyway there really isn't much shock I don't think Steph has a good vision at all.

Never been on the HHH will make WWE great again bandwagon either.

I'll keep it real with you all; the ratings decline is due to the fact that people no longer have confidence in WWE. Sure things are going the way people want...but this has happened before and people stay tuned, only to feel let down when Cena saved the day again...and again...and again...against all odds. Same thing with Roman Reigns lately.

So what do you expect? For people to just mindless keep tuning in? I am one of these people. I love the direction the company is headed in...but I have no faith in WWE so I dont watch RAW or Smackdown (Live).

NEither do ANY of my friends. We just read about it, watch clips, etc.

THIS is the issue WWE is facing...a fan base that lost faith in the company. They need to push through this and show everyone that they are seriously committed to change...otherwise...good luck.

Just an FYI. Sting has said if he couldn't face undertaker at WM than HHH was always his 2nd choice and sting has gone on record and said it was his idea to lose the match because he didn't know if he was going to wrestle again. Sting wanted to go out the old school way in his back.

The problem with RAW is the lack of starpower. Roman and Seth are the only guys the show has and their storylines ar e boring aswell tbh.

vs SD with Orton, Cena, AJ Styles with each one of them having won more titles than the whole current RAW roster combined and you still have Ambrose and possibly even Wyatt as supporting players. Honestly it's WWEs fault for making RAW a B-league tier show. If SD is the NBA RAW is college basketball. I can't imagine RAW ratings keeping up with Smackdown much longer.

WWE will never see a big surge in ratings with the direction they are going.

CWC and NXT stars are not the answer. They are just feeding the audience they already have and that's not a very big audience.

Don't get me wrong the product sucks, the storylines/characters and meaningful matches are just non existent.

However, when Kevin Owens wins the title and a large portion of the crowd chant 'You Deserve It' shows what the state of wrestling currently is. This is not a sport, these guys are actors playing roles. KO is a heel, it's his job to be a heel. If anything he should be pissed that a chant like that happens. It means he's not doing his job, but it's impossible with that crowd. The crowd ignored that fact that a heel HHH handed him the title and they still chant you deserve it. What the hell?

WWE is dieing a slow death, it has been for years. They need to go back to must see television storylines and not focus so much on the match. If they treat it like a sport then it's done.

Look at that Cesaro/Sheamus storyline and Zayn/Owens numerous matches. How are these suppose to draw? Zayn/Owens have a history and dont like eachother. Come on, why would anyone want to tune into that when something like UFC is on? You need more of a story between these characters than disliking each other. In 10 years time are we going to remember these matches? No chance. People remember moments.

Cesaro/Sheamus is just lazy.
