How to fix the ratings problem?

[Crash]

NO MORE MCMAHONS, MORE GOOD WRESTLING...

 

[Village Idiot]

Easier said than done But Get Some New Superstars Eg Austin, Rock. Hogan ect They are Way Over Due Too...

Truly they have dug themselves into a hole that's hard to get out of.

With them trying to be a PG Superfriends Treasure Burying (Burying good talent) family show, they put themselves in a position that will take years to get out of.

Their problems are

1.aim their products towards the casuals more than the true fans
2. Have good talent floating around the card with no type of booking
3. Relying on Greats from the past more than Greats in the Future
4. Make those false apologies and "Things will get better" statements when not one damn thing changes!...

and more...

They've done this for far too long, but wonder why the audience throws beach balls and chant "CM Punk".

Either Vince needs to Wake Up or Step Down

Better writing, don't bury characters, quit pushing wrestlers no one wants to see as the main star, looking at you Roman for the past four or so years, push good wrestlers, let each wrestler show their personality instead of being robotic, no more scripted promos, and so forth.

In short, make the main roster like a blend of NXT and New Japan, and done.

With NXT, after every segment I feel either "Hmm, that's interesting" or "Wow, this wrestler is ________". We feel the emotion they're trying to get across that's why we love it. And they've built up so much trust. You can't miss a Takeover. You can't give up on underwhelming talents...

Matches on the MR make you wonder why it was written. It feels like we're watching a script. It's always WWE WHY U DO DIS instead of sheesh, Baron Corbin, what the hell was that all about?

Also, in NXT you can feel the Wrestler if that makes sense like when Johnny and Tommaso had their feud you could feel the energy and emotions between the two, and even recently with Johnny and Adam you could feel the emotion in the match, and to me that is what is lacking on Smackdown and RAW as well there is no storytelling in the ring, like there should be, and no ring psychology like you see in NXT or New Japan.

At times it feels like they're doing a lot of their horrible booking at the wrong place and wrong time on purpose.

All of these are in the "WWE WHY U DO DIS" category
1.Braun Strowman being screwed by Baron Corbin
2.The Strowman Ziggler and McIntyre low budget faction
3. The Wild Card angle
4. Corbin facing and beating Angle
5. Bray Wyatt Mister Rogers (even though it's good to some not all)
And so on

I think it says something that Bray Wyatt schtick is the most entertaining thing about Raw. Its probably because theres no wrestling involved and thats where a lot of the current writers are in their element

Get lana to come out in a bikini every week. Give her 15 minutes. Shake her ass and tits. That's what she wants. Increase in viewership for sure

Yeah it's the most entertaining thing right now but knowing Vince and the writers, they are going to do wrong by Bray having him play it out every week and go nowhere with the gimmick

 

[Redboy123@]

This new Bray Wyatt gimmick is entertaining but can end badly. Let's just hope they tell an coherent and fulfilling story in the promos.... Leading to the version of bray we are going to get in ring. Imagine this bray character wrestling on Raw. This needs to lead to Bray becoming whatever he is going to become as the result of these firefly funhouse segments.

Follow the light and let me in. He is clearly just trying to corrupt people.

Consistency. The problem with WWE is that they keep changing lanes. You can't just push one guy or do one thing and expect a new boom period. For every fan who loves Andrade, there's one who hates him, for every one who hates the McMahons, there's one who loves them, for every one who love great wrestling, there's one who finds it boring. There is no one thing that will make everyone happy

What they need to do is pick a lane and stick with it. WWE has a problem where they want things to make ratings go up immediately, and when it doesn't (because that's not how viewership works) they drop it. New NXT call ups! Oh, they're gone. More call ups! Oh, they're gone too. New tag team divison! Oh, that's gone. Cruiserweights! Gone. No rematch clauses or authority figures! Nevermind. Brand split! Nah, that's irrelevant.

Whatever they do, someone will love it, that someone will tune in to watch it, and that someone will be annoyed that thing is gone/irrelevant and that someone will stop watching. Because this always happens, when something awesome happens, those someones won't jump in immediately because they don't know if it'll last or not. Then, because everyone is cautious, WWE cut it, making those people feel vindicated AND making those loyal start to feel cautious themselves

It doesn't matter WHAT they do, they just need to stick to it. I don't like New Japan, it's not bad it's just not my style, however they are a prime example. When they do something, they stick to it. They have a good track record, so when you hear they're doing a cool thing, you know you can watch it and you'll get that cool thing. When WWE does a cool thing, it's a 20-80 chance it'll be the same, odds not in your favor

In six months, they've had four soft resets of their roster. Four. Of those four resets in six months, only the one that happened two days ago is relevant in the slightest. That's horrible for building trust with viewers, and until they can rebuild that trust, ratings will never rise

Omg these shmucks are the creative team...LOL


Also i find it curious why this video only has about 9000 views, was uploaded May 3, and comments and likes are disabled...

literally just do what they did when people actually gave a shit about wrestling, why is that so hard to do?

When I used to watch its flagship show RAW it was over 3 hours long. A suggestion would be to shorten the show to two hours. Three hours is way too long and it felt like it was much ado about nothing. Paul Heyman apologizing to Stephanie McMahon did nothing for the show. I remember a RAW where it kicked things off with Sasha Banks and Enzo Amore saying, "How you doin'?" incessantly for several seconds. GM Mick Foley came out to announce RAW will feature an intergender tag team match. The segment was twenty minutes long. Again, much ado about nothing.
