You do realise UFC Tv ratings have always been 1.0 ~ 1.2 right?

WWE RAW & UFC is not comparable as for as the TV ratings are considered.

Wrestling is not "healthy" btw, not in 2012. They are infact struggling. If the ratings drops below 2.5 on a consistent basis, they lose USA network.

But, its erm, not going to drop to that level as Raw is USA Networks highest rated show. So lol.

It's not the worst roster ever, but you can make a case for it being the worst booked roster ever.

Worst booked in WWE maybe(though 2006-2008 was worse in my mind) but WCW had way worse

I would say in terms of showing character and having charisma this is the worst roster in wwe history.

Yeah, I was thinking strictly WWE, but no doubt WCW was absolutely atrocious. Benoit, Malenko, Saturn, Guerrero, Jericho, Raven, Booker T, Buff Bagwell, the list goes on and on. So much talent wasted just to keep the old guys on top.

The ratings are not that high, they were higher in the attitude and ruthless agression era.

Well, the ratings have been dropping for a while, in 3 - 5 years i can see the ratings dropping to that level.

Nah, this is the worst roster in the history of wrestling in every way. Even to things like real life attitude or carrying yourself like a star, nothing. Just a bunch of clueless, uncharismatic, untalented, default choices who think they're on a school trip. Miserable and embarrassing. The only full time stars, legit stars who are not physically huge like Show and Henry and can go into restaurant and turn heads are Cena and Orton. Then they're surprised when less kids are watching wrestling today than ever before? back then the wrestlers were like role models, the "I want to be like him" figure, now the kid is more "cool" than the wrestler, and don't start on the teenagers when the healthy bunch can kick 90% of the roster's ass.

The only reason WWE are with the head above water BTW, is just because of the TV deals, not the wrestling product because every aspect is almost all-time low, and most of them like PPV is at an all-time low. The minute they're dropping even more in the ratings to a regular 2.6-2.7, USA are throwing them out and they're going out of business, all that without talking about the next astronomical bomb which is the Network.

WWE Network could be a success if they are smart enough to know what exactly the casuals want.

I would say WCW in 2000 or wwe in 1995 have the worst overall rosters or maybe the booking was just shitty. But then again WWE in 1995 had bret,owen,taker,hall,luger,diesel,yokozuna, bob backlund,etc. Whereas now they have Cena & Orton, Mysterio, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Indy midget hacks that can't draw
