Reminder no one superstar is to blame for the ratings

This is the most factual thing ever posted on /asp/. That being said, where the fuck do you think you are? GTFO with this shit posting.

B-but reddit told me it's all Romans fault

Seth legit killed ratings single handedly during his reign though

>>2791078
Fuck fat smarks. There's no evidence.

>>2791129
>Creative killed Seths momentum with shitty booking and badly written scripts.
Ftfy

>anti-smarks

No such thing. We're all smarks here just with different opinions.

>>2791129
You mean Deanetty. Dude's plain and simple a charisma vacuum.

>>2791133
>what are Nielsen ratings figures

>>2791230
That doesn't prove that Roman himself is directly responsible for driving fans away, only that the whole show is shit

>>2791221
Nah, Dean was being pushed pretty well and he carried himself like a proper anti-hero. But bork decided he didn't want to work that one night and burried him. Then creative started spilling spaghetti out of their fanny packs and Dean started phoning it in bad. Cut to the Stone Cold Podcast and there was nothing anyone could do for him.

>>2791058
You're close but no cigar. Company was killed years before the shieldetties and balorina. Even before cryin' bryan.
You can actually pinpoint it to the "pipebomb". Phil and the smark invasion in 2011 killed wrestling. You can't blame the company for that since smarks loved that shit yet the ratings and buyrates started tanking and have been ever since.

>>2791247
I'd say it was the piss poor handling of the invasion angle that started it all. WWE proved then and there that even they could fuck up an idiot proof story line that would have drew untold amounts of dimes.

>>2791237
The current massive decline began during his main event push after winning the Royal Rumble

>>2791247
>le Philbomb
>THEM DAMN SMARKS

Why are they the reason that buyrates and ratings began atrophying the decade prior?

>>2791274
Ratings have been going down year after year. It's an inevitable downward trend that would happen with or without Roman

Wasn't even the highest-rated hour that night

>>2791058
Specific types of talent (indie guys who don't look like stars) and wrestling philosophy (indie/Japanese styles wrestling) and WWE catering to hardcore fans (who want good workers having long matches) have contributed to WWE's decline however among many other things.

>>2791346
>indy guy seth rollins had 5.3 million tune in for his coronation compared to barely over 4 million for homegrown roman reigns the next year

>>2791317
Yeah, the highest rated hour was the one where he had his match. His announcement was the second highest rated. Meanwhile the indie midget hour dropped 150k viewers.

>>2791350
>he bases an entire 9 month title reign on one single raw to fit his narrative
How about the fact that ratings fell off a cliff during jasethy's failure of a run

>>2791396
Yo do realise when indy guys sign to WWE, they stop being indy guys right? They then become WWE guys.
How retarded are you, for a shoot? Have you been properly diagnosed ?

Blame the Head Writer then.
Stop being a mark blaming the wrestler s for how they are booked.
It makes you look clueless and nobody will listen to you.
You wouldn't blame the actors on a TV show if the show does shit ratings. You blame the writers (and in WWE's case, the psycho micro managing Head Writer Vince) for giving them shitty storylines and dialogue to work with.
Go listen to Big Show on Jericho's podcast to see how the wrestlers REALLY feel about the TV product and the writers.

>>2791346
>building around Reigns

Wow, refuting that post was too easy.

>>2791396
The match against "indy" Samoa Joe?

Or maybe you meant those indie guys in the main event segment like...Big Show or Enzo & Cass? Kurt Angle? The Revival?

>>2791272
Underrated post.

>>2791548
Are you fucking retard???

>>2791571
Well, I'm not having sex with (You) so, no I'm not fucking a retard

>>2791519
Actually in many cases the actors are equally at fault. If you have the acting skills of a wooden plank and are a charisma vacuum then even Hitchcock isn't going to save you.

Are we going to pretend the writing in the attitude era was good? because it wasn't, but that didn't stop wrestlers from showing off their talents and getting over, unlike wrestlers of today who just don't have it.

>>2791129
Why did Seth's run decrease ratings? Was it because he became an unconvincing champion with long, shitty Authority promos who lost on TV all the time?

Guess whose fault that is.

>>2792339
>didn't stop wrestlers from showing off their talents and getting over

You just undermined your own argument
