When the fuck did this become a thing?

>>3080924
He was. Based Rey-Rey was only second to Cena when it came to merch. His masks would make a killing from the kids. It does make you wonder how dense Vince is not to push more masked wrestlers are have their masks on the store.

> I'm finally getting penalised for talking off topic and shitposting constantly
> REEEE!!!

>>3080968
Historical context is important. Rey was over then because he was unique. Flippy shit might be overused now but Rey pioneered it and he was based as fuck. Nowadays everyone on the roster do what he did.

When seth was champion ratings were way better than now.

Seth is a bigger draw than Lesnar confirmed!

>>3080970
Do they though? I can't think of anyone on his level other than Neville. Plus no one watched 205 Live so for all I know Gran Metalik could be killing it over there.

>>3080967
Where can you see that?

>>3080958
A confirmed draw to boot

>>3080970
t. didn't watch him in WWE
t. didn't watch him in his prime

Rey was over because he's a GOAT babyface

Ratings have always dropped since the Attitude Era. There's very little correlation between who the champ is and what the ratings are, people need to stop investing all of their opinion on who the champion is and take into account writing and story telling.

>>3080993
>Reigns is a draw guys! Ratings don't fucking matter!

>>3080996
At what point did I say Reigns was a draw? I don't think that what so ever.

>>3080993
There have been periods of upward trends (RAW in the post-Evolution pre-Benoit years), spikes in viewerships (Seth's 1st night as WWE Champion is the highest-rated RAW since like 2011) and clear downward trajectories (Reigns getting a main event push) though.

>>3081003
Why do you as a fan give a shit about the ratings? That has to be the most uber smark shit there is.

>>3081012
I don't have a horse in this race. Just stating facts.

>>3081003
Sure there's always going to be spikes when people drop in and have a look at what's going on, say if Goldberg comes and is expected on the show. But it will never help long term. They really had a chance to start fresh and build from the ground up with the draft last year, but they quickly fucked that up.

>>3081021
No arguments there. WWE can't build an audience because the show is bad, no matter how many times they can get people to check it out again when something interesting actually happens.

>>3081003
Downward trend Benoit/Eddie on top
>Upward trend when Cena/Batista on top
Downward trend PG rating
>Upward trend celeb guest host gimmick (for some ungodly reason)
Downward trend catering with CM Punk
Downward trend continues when WWE caters to internet with Daniel Bryan
Downtrend trend OFF A CLIFF when Seth won title

You don't fool anyone with your spun narrative doesn't
