roadkill_

I don't even care if you delete this.

1) Nitro goes 3 hours, an attempt to capitalise on exhaustion of 2 shit hours. RAW goes 3 hours. An attempt to capitalise on exhaustion of 2 shit hours.

2) Nitro goes ultra PC, even not only outlawing blading but forbidding the announce team from using the word 'blood'. Raw goes ultra PC, uproar over Fred Durst flipping the bird.

3) Nitro brings in quick fix patches in the form of celebrities. Jay Leno, David Arquette. Raw brings in quick fix patches. In the form of celebrities. The Muppets. 3 Stooges.

4) Nitro brings back retirees, puts them in main event. Roddy Piper, Ric Flair. RAW brings back retirees, puts them in main event. The Rock, HHH.

5) Nitro takes small guy with questionable charisma, puts him in main event with over-40 year old past his heyday, that inadvertantly buries small guy (Kidman/Hogan). RAW takes small guy with questionable charisma. Puts him in main event against over-40 year old past his heyday. Older guy comes off better... (CM Punk/Rock)

6) Nitro spends millions (Literally millions) bringing back cash-hungry retiree (Ultimate Warrior), who shows up on absolute minimal appearances, feuds with guy over the hill (Hogan) then leaves forever. RAW spends untold millions hiring retiree (Brock Lesnar) who wants a nice payday. Shows up for minimal appearances, feuds with guy over the hill (HHH), then leaves forever.

7) Nitro finds wrestler who is incredibly over (Goldberg), then buries him in atrocious angles with fat brawlers from UFC. RAW finds wrestler who is incredibly over (Bryan). Then buries him in mid-card in atrocious comedy angle.

8) Nitro has the entire roster fed to one man. Hogan. RAW has the entire roster fed to one man. Cena.

9) Nitro has commentators oversell and attempt to alter reality ("LISTEN TO THESE FANS!! - Schiavone on piped-in canned post-production chants). RAW has commentators oversell and attempt to alter reality. ("The WWE universe has spoken" - Michael Cole on fans 'electing' John Cena a Slammy, while crowd actually thunders "CENA SUCKS!! in the background").

10) Nitro is still being written, even after broadcasting has began (!!). RAW is being written, even after broadcasting has already began...

11) Under leadership from a member of the Kliq (Nash), Nitro begans broadcasting its first of three hours with 5 minutes of wrestling and 55 minutes of ads and promos. Under leadership from a member of the Kliq (HHH) RAW begins broadcasting its first of three hours with 6 minutes of wrestling, and 54 minutes of promos, ads and recaps.

12) On many a Nitro before a typical PPV, virtually no mention is made of the PPV or the card. While not on the same level, a growing trend for RAW - run in to a PPV and barely even recognise its existence.

13) Under leadership of a member of the Kliq, Nash, member of the Kliq hogs spotlight despite being over the hill, Nash. Under leadership of member of the Kliq, HHH, member of the Kliq main events himself with retiree, hogging spotlight. HHH.

14) Member of the Kliq kisses ass of top brass. Nitro. Nitro goes down the shitter. Member of the Kliq kisses ass of the top brass (Literally, TMI). RAW goes down the shitter.

15) Nitro moves the crowd cameraside. RAW moves the crowd cameraside.

it is easy to construe some similarities, and i dont wanna diminish your thoughts, but i am not sure what you wanna suggest.
that raw is near to their end?
because that thought is bullshit, especially the way you have construed it.

A legend never dies: June 18, 1962 - June 13, 2009

Not removing until:
[] Shelton Benjamin makes a comeback
[] Charlie Haas makes a comeback
[] Kenny Dykstra makes a comeback
[] Raw makes again a 6.5 or even a higher rating
[] John Morrison becomes WWE champion
[] CM Punk wins Royal Rumble
[] CM Punk and Daniel Bryan main eventing Wrestlemania in an iron man match (and so creating epic stuff as e.g. misawa and kawada did in their matches)
[] WWE pays tribute to Mitsuharu Misawa

Punk holding the title for 434 days was epic. it was the greatest reign in the history of wrestling (but not the way the reign ended):
4-3-4
4-3-4
4-3-4

It's in the OP. The end of Nitro vs RAW.

Not 'The end of Nitro vs the end of RAW.

Although I could make an argument for the end of RAW on the USA Network. This week drew a 2.31. The USAN can purchase a show for half the price of RAW that'll get that rating. Why shouldn't they?

Those Nitro examples were several different years

A couple were from when it was fairly hot

This has been done with various companies for decades.

Punk has questionable charisma? What show you been watching?

Bryan's career is going pretty good right now, sorry he doesn't win world titles every week. Geez.

Punk has been champ for over a year and Cena had his worst pay per view winning percentage ever in 2012.

Make no mistake, Vince is the leader.

HHH is almost never around anymore.

Blind Kliq hate is so obvious, but it's been going down the shitter for years.

cablegeddon

You didn't mention starting angles and dropping them without any explanation (Nexus, anonymous GM, Vince is exiled then comes back) and horrible stuff like Hornswoggle being the anonymous GM


That is a ridiculous statement for two reasons. 1. Bryan was never incredibly over. In fact he brought numbers down with all his championship matches against CM Punk. 2. You're comparing the hype surrounding GOldberg to Daniel Bryan. At his peak Bryan was barely over. Much like Ryback all he had was a chant.
