Within four years, that standard will decrease to a 1.5 rating.

Trust me on this.

RAW used to have 4.0 as a norm and like 3 years ago was around 3.5. Why does WWE think PG is a bigger audience? Edgy TV appeals to young kids and adults. When I was young we all watched WWF. Look at Jersey Shore and other edgy shows they draw more.

With Cena gone most likely (I know most say "lulz hez like hogan and will wrestle till he's 60" but I doubt it), they will not have a single draw in their hands anymore as we can pretty much assume that The Rock finishes things off and is inducted to the HOF, Undertaker will probably retire and HHH is going to strictly work behind the scenes.

WWE is going to be dead then, or will have to totally change the product. Probably have celebrities wrestle and make all stars on one brand.

100% Agree. When & y are gone, the company dies. The will be our last great hope.

At least TNA will have some competition... if they are still intact that is.

WWE should just hire Vince Russo and let the ratings man bring the magic back. Vince and Vince were a great team.

Don't worry. We always got Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes!


Sorry, couldn't resist!

The edginess is what drew me and so many people to it, so why they got to take this corny road, I don't know.

It can still be below a 2.5. It depends how many people watched TV on Monday compared to who just watched Raw.

Both would make some good midcard talent but when the company is so low on stars, these two will probably get their shot at main eventing for an amount of time.

Don't know about Moz. When they heavily pushed him, the result was a terrible WM main event last year. He's one of the best on the mic, though.

People say I'm crazy when I predict WWE's downfall being sooner rather than later. But at the rate they are losing viewers, the panic zone may be where they find themselves soon. Some will say "ratings are not important" because that will somehow makes them more optimistic about the future but they are just dodging the problem. With less ratings, there will be less buyrates for PPVs drop, less merch will be sold and who is helping WWE's stock if nobody is watching? Whoever says "ratings don't matter" are just fooling themselves.

This is starting to look like WCW towards the end which is another reason why I have a bad feeling the company is reaching their end.
