Get Romanetty away before he destroys the company

1.5 here we come

Smackdown will have more viewers soon LOL

It deserved worse:

Roman Reigns main eventing again
35 minutes of Sasha/Charlotte shit
New Day vs Club AGAIN
Sheamus/Cesaro who gives a fuck

Still no followup on why HHH helped Owens, no fresh matches, no compelling stories.

Is this true? Why is it that literally every other week there's a new record low rating?

Shieldettys have killed WWE

>>1753796
Raw just has such a tiny pool of wrestlers that shit's repeating already. Couple that with injuries and a reluctance to pull up from NXT so soon and there's a lot of problems with the format

I mean, SDL isn't much better, but it only has 2 hours to fill.

>>1753982

Ratings for everything have been steadily falling for a decade now which WWE isn't immune to, and it was the 1st night of MNF which always takes a bite out people watching Raw.

>>1753982
God damn. There are more great Wojaks coming from this brand war than I can keep up with.

Why don't they just cut it to 2 hours ffs? SD does wonders with that time. It's not like they absolutely need to give air time to everyone on the roster. They could have one week focused more on Shieldetties and another on Cruiseweight division and so on.

>>1754032
>>1753982
You don't lose 700k viewers in a month as a "steady decline" lad

>>1754076
More advertising time.

You actually sat down and watched this shit live? There's a reason I record it. There's maybe 1.5 hours of solid content outwith ads, promotions, the Raw graphic playing for a minute for no reason, and the commentating team shilling for KFC/Pizza Hut/whatever

>>1754076
They will lose a lot of money that they really need

>>1754076
They get a shitload of revenue from that third hour. Getting rid of it will cost them a looot of money.

The third hour wasnt even something WWE wanted anyway. It was USA that wanted it, so they did it.

Vince will probably bleed NXT dry because of this. Nakamura, Roode, Aries, Joe, they will be called up very soon.

>>1754136
That would be a good thing. Those guys should not be down there in the first place..

They will probably put the belt on Nakamura the very RAW he debuts.

>>1754076

They can't and there's no way USA is going to let them because they need the 3rd hour to make money since the ad rates for a Raw are so low.


This is what people should be talking about instead of just the ratings. UFC on Fox doesn't get near the ratings WWE does, but Fox can charge twice as much for an ad because of demographics.

>>1754157
Nakamura has IC written all over him

>>1754161
Pretty sure Meltzer (>le meltz, I know) said WWE only gets $10-15k for a 30 second spot while UFC gets about 80-100k.

>>1754170

Just look at the ads that run during a WWE program. It's almost fast food or other junk food.

They don't have the companies that spend big on advertising like alcohol or autos.

>>1754028
Dennetty got 1.87

It was obvious.

Roman main eventing? Granted at least 600k people turn off the tv.

>>1754076
Smack down ratings are 20% lower. And for two hours. If you only count raws first two hours then it'd be more like 30

>>1754207
It was obvious.

Kevin Owens champ? Granted less than 3 million people bothered to even tune in to the start of the show.

>Open show with Owens last week and the ratings tank
>Open show with the womyn this week and the ratings tank

It's almost like people don't like Owens or the Divas

>>1754189
>Just look at the ads that run during a WWE program. It's almost fast food or other junk food.
Yeah I've noticed this. What's the point of the show being on that late if they're not going to shill alcohol and such? I understand "muh PG era!" but if they really want the hits from the kids, book a 5pm slot or something.

ahahhaha

Roman announced in the main event 1 week before. 500k viewers do not even show up
300k leave before the third hour

You can't make this shit up.

We spoke of brand warfare

For RAW was full of hot air

I spoke into his eyes
"I thought we had no chance
And our show was gonna blow"

OH NO

I KNOW WE'LL WIN THE RACE
YOU'RE FACE

WITH THE MAN THAT RUNS THE PLAAAAAACE

He laughed with his headband
He knew we had it won
We had the upper hand
Because Styles was number one

The entire roster was there
We simultaneously said

OH NO

That was the perfect time to run that segment though, get it out of the way before the game goes to half time.

>>1754381
Few /asp/ies know shit about WWE pre-2010, fewer still know shit about other wrestling promotions. Of course they don't know who Janetty is.

RAW has turned literally into Sami Zayn. Bland, boring mess that's just happy to be there. It puts out good work rate but it ultimately doesn't matter, because it has no deeper meaning that would connect it together, it has nothing that would make you tune in next week. In a three hours show, you have ONE STORYLINE (I'm not counting women """wrestling""").

>>1754394
it also can't cut a promo

We had GOAT promos almost every week before the indies infected the company.

>>1754381
A reference to Marty Janetty, who was part of a tag team with Shawn Michaels. They were split up, HBK went on to become the GOAT and Janetty basically went nowhere with his career afterwards because he was shit.

In meme terms, it is used to denote a member of a tag team who is a shit singles guy in comparison to their partner.

>>1754381
Shawn Michaels first tag partner was Marty Jannetty

Jannetty became a strung out loser, while Michaels became an all time best. It's a way of saying "this guy is a loser" or something.

It's retarded.

>>1754388
Big Match AJ proves that based TNA guys draw

>>1754375
Actually Reigns was actually drawing well. His first title win from Sheamus brought in the same viewership increase as the Rock returning in 2011 after 8 years hiatus did. That is big. But ofcourse WWE eventually ruined him, but he did draw when given the ball unlike smark darlings.

Just remember, football isn't going away anytime soon and WWE just put on a terrible Raw this week which pissed off a lot of viewers.

It's only going to get worse.

>>1754375
>fatass Owens not even good enough to be a Janetty

>>1754378

Best part was they ran one of those stupid "did you knows?" on the commercial break after the game went to half-time talking about how the WWE's FB page has so many likes which is more than the NFL and it's 32 teams combined.

>>1754409
He proved that he draws. AJ's success has nothing to do with TNA, quite the opposite if we go by how much better he got when he left TNA and went to Japan.

>>1754378
> 12 mil
> 10 mil

Every year it draws about the same. Stop exaggerating.

BTW that number when viewed relative to the population of US (300 mllion) and numbers of homes that watch cable (98 million) is really nothing.

You know what the regular average viewership of WWE in India is? fucking 63 million viewers. On a global scale WWE massacres NFL, NBA and everything in US. Its not even close.

>>1754409
AJ never drew a dime. His debut literally brought in 0 viewers

If only they had the money to buy the network and therefore mattered worth shit.

The majority of the WWE's money still comes from tier American TV deals. Indians literally mean nothing.

>>1754440
Ten sports pays 100 mil each year. Listen to thos investor conference calls for once, and atleast try to get a clue.

>>1754430
WWE won't die as long as Pajeets still exist. Hell, TNA still exist because pajeets exist. Sony six literally keeping TNA alive.

>>1754449
>40 million people watch it in a climate where advertising on WWE costs pennies
Yeah I'll bet they're raking the cash in.

For the record, WWE makes most of its money at live shows - much like musicians. The advertising pot is largely to front the costs for reserving arenas.

>>1754426
>You know what the regular average viewership of WWE in India is? fucking 63 million viewers. On a global scale WWE massacres NFL, NBA and everything in US. Its not even close.

Except that in money (which is honestly all that matters) they aren't even close. WWE doesn't make shit off of places like India, so that's irrelevant.

And the NBA certainly makes more money internationally, the NFL probably does to.

It's all Punk's fault IMO. MMAustists were shitting on pro wrestling all Sunday long.

>>1754032
>Ratings for everything have been steadily falling for a decade

not true. why do WWE apologists lie?

>>1754479
Nobody gives a shit about the NFL outside of America

>>1754445

Got a source for that? Because I find it really hard to believe that nearly 1/6th of their yearly revenue comes from their Indian tv deal.

>>1754426
>63 million
Jesus. If they could get even a fraction of those poos to buy the network they'd be set forever.

>>1754487

Pretty sure WWE would never have a show that could draw 70,000 at Wembly.

>>1754170
how many more commercials breaks does the E have in a month compared to ufc?

>>1754471
> For the record, WWE makes most of its money at live shows

You just clearly displayed that you have absolutely no clue on what you're talking about.

WWE's biggest revenue comes from their television deal with USA network. They get paid a massive 200 million in TV rights fees. WWE's second biggest TV rights distribution is Sky sports in UK and their third biggest deal is with Ten sports in India. Without three WWE as we know will instantly collapse. Infact, this is the money with which they even got the network up and running until it reached a mil subscribers.

>>1754479

NBA makes shit outside US. NFL makes next to nothing. Hell, TNA makes more than these two outside of US. Sony Six is apparently paying them 60 million.

Oh and BTW, Sony Six just bought out Ten sports last month, which means they now own both WWE and TNA rights.

Yeah they can't because a dollar cost about 67 indian rupees. 9.99 dollars comes around 630 bucks. Would you spend 630 bucks a month for WWE network?

>>1754535
You have to be retarded if you think WrestleMania wouldn't draw 70 000 in Bongistan. Fucking TNA draws over there.

New Day
Horrible Diva promos

>>1754551
>NBA makes shit outside US

The NBA makes over $5 billion dollars a season globally. The WWE doesn't even come close to making $1 billion as a company.
