    Shit like Ambrose losing to Kane is a huge reason why Raw continues to shed audience. They've taken a guy like Ambrose and made it clear to fans that he's not a big deal.
    It's what they've done to almost everyone on their roster. Everyone's a goon, nobody's a big deal worth investing in.

    And so of course more and more people just decide not to bother watching.

    Wow - for all the talk about how 1 guy doesnt move ratings anymore & it's the WWE #brand - the Brock return got 4+ million 2 weeks ago and this show was about 700,000 less than that. And remember it was over 5 million the night after WrestleMania when Brock killed Michael Cole.


    It looks stupider by the second that they made Brock go away. Whatever his deal was, they should have burned up the dates in April & May when he was nuclear. By having him gone for 2 months, it basically exposed everyone not named Kevin Owens as a mid-carder.

    It exposes that if you put on a show that makes no sense and has had the same plot for 2 years, which was cribbed from a plot which has been used on and off for 20 at this point, people may not give a crap. Brock going away was dumb, and I absolutely think he should have been around for 3 weeks getting frustrated, then FINALLY going nuts and killing everyone to be suspended (If you had to do that)


    But ultimately, that all takes what. ten minutes per week? 15? out of 3 hours. If the rest of the show is garbage,..

    When I was in college, at least once per semester, someone would think it was the funniest thing in the world to pull the fire alarm at 3:00 am. The shitty part was that the building had 2500 people living in it, so it would take the fire dept an hour to clear it before we could go back in.

    Excluding Kevin Owens' debut, was there anything really amazing since Wrestlemania where a fan would have gone "Dang it I wish had seen that?"
    The other thing is that if you missed the last 3 months of programming, there is no storyline (excluding Owens) where a quick 10 second explanation wouldn't catch you up to speed.

    I really don't understand how Raw can be so bad. There are successful TV shows out there to copy and the WWE has been very successful before, so they can copy themselves. Bray Wyatt strikes me as a guy that's everything wrong with the booking. He started off as a big deal, became a job boy to Cena, and has been directionless ever since. Why would anyone ever buy into him?

    It's the double-edged sword of everything going through one person. When that person is at their peak, you get great television, angles, etc. But when that same person gets old, out of touch, and still insists on ruling with an iron fist, you get what we have now.

    I think I mentioned my theory at some time before.


    They have a lot of soap opera writers, who are used to writing for the "villain of the month". Somebody comes in, does really bad things, the heroes prevail.


    The problem is, once they're done with the VotM in Soap-Opera Land, the villain goes away. They don't need to worry about making that villain interesting after the fact.


    So here we are, stuck with a bunch of VotMs, and nothing to do with them once they've been vanquished by the heroes because the writers have no clue how to write for persistent characters (except for the handful they deem "stars")

    It's the Redskins issue all over again. You know what most Native Americans probably want. Access to decent housing, medicine, food, education, economic opportunities, etc. They could care less about a football team name because they have far bigger problems to deal with, and yet some people feel that changing the name will somehow solve all the issues and make up for decades of mistreatment. It won't, and lowering the flag won't solve any real problems, either.
