Was this the moment that led to record low ratings? Did the fans

The Yes Movement along with Summer of Punk/Pipe Bomb are probably the only notable post A.E era moments

>>2972409
It was probably Reigns winning the rumble that really did it

>>2972477
You're both right, but Reigns winning at Fastlane really sealed it, there's a HUGE drop in ratings the following weeks

It was going to happen regardless of Reigns' involvement.

>>2976163
There's a direct correlation between his main event push and the massive decline

>>2976178
Correlation is not causation faggot

>>2976190
It's the only significant difference.

>RAWafterMania that year had a massive spike...after Roman's main event ascension got halted
>RAWafterRumble the following year was the highest-rated show of 2016...after Reigns lost the belt
>RAWafterMania the following year was a ratings disappointment

The numbers don't lie.

>WWE didn't listen to fans
>Wonders why attendance is down and ratings are down
>Have to cut pyro even though a backyard Pajeet promotion has pyro

The absolute state of WWE. All they had to do was listen.

Actually it has been statistically proven to be this. Ever since this manlet fuck won, ratings have been going down faster and faster. This is the moment when Haitch started to give talentless jobbers pushes and they either flopped or got injured. The Shieldettys, while fun to shitpost about, had nothing to do with the ratings really. Rarings fall all the time, but Bryan is the reason it has fallen so fast in such little time. Most fans saw Bryan, got tired of this garbage show, and never came back.

i'm sure jasethy is a real draw anon

Bryan was the final WWE Champion to average Nielsen ratings in 3.0

By all means, compare the ratings of equivalent periods the following year

That's a better night than anybody's had in years

Bryan was the beginning of WWE catering to internet you dumb fuck. Catering to internet is beginning of the drastic downward trend.

Tfw you rewatch the matrix trilogy after a few years and you want to make a joke but the pain of the second two movies bubbles up to the surface

>>2976686
Nah those shit ratings were because of that awful Kane feud. Idk what WWE was thinking with that one. I got one stopped watching for that bit. Otherwise we haven't had a guy as almost universally over as Bryan since Rock/Austin.

No Anon, this was the moment.

>>2976702
At least we know WWE would never intentionally put on a bad feud to make Bryan's reign look bad. We know for sure they'd never be that shitty and petty.

>Bryan was universally over
reactions didn't = money
you don't know what the true menaing of over is.

Hogan in 2002, Batista, Cena, Undertaker, Jeff Hardy, Mysterio etc. all more over than Bryan ever was.

18+

>>2976686
I thought Punk was the beginning of catering for "those internet fans"

Also: kys wolfcuc

>>2976839
I guess that explains why Diesel never drew a Dime.

>Google Trends

nope

>>2976839

Bruh this a flat out lie and you know it. You've never seen an entire bleacher section at ball games do a Batista roar, or a Jeff hardy hand thing, or the Hogan posing, or any of those other things.

During its peak there were whole sections of crowds at sporting events doing the yes chant.

>>2977078

Remember the Fandango? Yeah.

Most of those fans just did the Yes because it was a meme, they didnt even watch wrestling or know who Daniel Bryan is.

He TRULY is the Greatest Of All Time!!

>>2977136
It's even funnier because those ratings would fucking kill the latter half of the year's

>>2972409
Yes it was. Summerslam where bryan won the title got record low buyrates, so low in fact that they gave WM30 away for free, for the first time since the PPVs started in WWE.

>>2977143
>record low buyrates

Yeah it's pretty obvious you don't understand this at all.
