Looks like TNA won't have to catch up to WWE now. WWE is falling to TNAs level. This is hilarious. I will enjoy WWE downfall cause the product is just so bad they deserve to go under.

But WWE is publicly traded & Vince McMahon owns the majority of the shares. There's no AOL/Time Warner merger than can get rid of WWE.

2.5 is becoming normal, the second "15 year low" one in less than a month

even a 3-4 years ago they were doing 3.5

the annual raw rating has been tanking and headed down since 2002, but this last year seems like a new rock bottom

how are some of you celebrating this, sure its not as low as some predicted but its still a 15 year record low number

tna is not far behind, if they got there crap together and keep improving the product they will match them

2.5 for a company like this on there flagship program is laughable

with vince spending all this money on linda's election, record low ratings, no future stars...

when will he finally wake up

thats not really money 'lost'. for the shareholders wanting to sell its hell but as far year to year profits vs losses im not sure how it works out

as for linda's campaign thats another story. thats not wwe losing money as much as it is vince blowing it. like on a yacht. a very crappy, pointless fictional yacht

the only real figures that indicate the company's health are the yearly profits and losses. the very simple, very basic bottom line. unless those start going down the toilet, the wwe is fine. if they go down the toilet, vince still has a long way to go before ending up in 1996 levels

but don't you understand, cena is the man with this PG great era, he is a true number 1 guy like austin/rock

sheamus/cena/ryback are going to bring in the 5.0's baby, ryback will be the next hulk hogan and change wrestling forever LOL

Oh fucking well. They deserve it. Their heads are in the sand and/or up their own asses.

no offence chukcy but jokes on raw are funnier than you

and thats saying something

ive genuinely never seen people watch and talk about something they hate so much. if raw is giving you aids, then try impact, or an indy, or watch videos of the last 30 years of wrestling that didnt suck. anything is better than this

Didn't even bother to watch Raw this week, although as per my Tuesday ritual, I did listen to John Pollock and Wai Ting's Review a Raw (which is about ten thousand times better than Raw ever is), and from their analysis, the show sounded like shit. Cena and AJ getting the majority of focus and air time on your go home show when Cena isn't even fucking wrestling on the PPV? Ridiculous. Punk got the shit kicked out of him by Ryback again and ran away once more (or rather, crawled)? Does the Fed even know the fucking essentials of booking anymore? No, I don't suspect they do. Next thing you know, Joe Smith is going to debut as some jobber and beat Sheamus clean for the World Title without Sheamus even getting an offensive move in. Just horrendous.

So what's the excuse for the crappy rating this week, considering Punk was NOT the main focus of the show and I hardly even think they mentioned that this was inside a Cell on Sunday. You had Cena as the major focus, fucking AJ, the worst actress in decades, both together in some corny quasi-love story, then sprinkle it with Vince McMahon in there just for appearances. Yet we get a 2.5. And no, the electoral debate and MNF are no excuse. You blind Punk haters wouldn't give him any leeway when he got the famous "worst rating in 15 years". This rating is terrible, Punk took a backseat to a bigger storyline, and the result was another shit rating. Your logic dictates that once Punk is not the central character on the show, that ratings would get better. And yet...they didn't (which anyone would know, except you guys who are blind with hate).

I think this pretty much conclusively proves that Punk is NOT, and never was, the big problem, but of course, these people won't admit it. You know who you are.

meh, punk has one job now. interrupting people who talk shit about him, and then running out and getting creamed

have confidence he'll retain on sunday though
