Surprisingly Sincere Man Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Maybe instead of the March madness tournament, we should do a "significant other ranks WWE wrestlers" poll type thingy and someone tabulates the results. I'm only half joking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on court records and previous verdicts the court could choose to impose, she could face up to five years. Metzler says that if she's convicted, she'll serve her sentence at the Usos Penitentiary. I'll show myself out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest she came was the Brie feud and even then they had to come up with something to protect her so she went over.

Which is not a good barometer for who is over or can draw. I'd have to disagree there- usually a captive audience of "absolute NON-FANS, if you weren't watching, they would not be' people are a pretty good barometer of draw value, simply because then you're getting people who can tell you if someone looks like they have star quality to a non-wrestling fan. That is a very good barometer of people who may be able to get casual fans back or non-fans to stand up and take notice, as well as who in WWE may have the potential to be crossover stars- and wrestling fans are just too close to the action to ever truly know those things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no because they are absolute NON FANS. They are not going to watch and its stupid wasting energy on them. As opposed to people who are willing and excited to spend money on wrestling. Again it is stupid wasting any time, energy or money on non fans. That is what gets WWE in so much trouble and what kept TNA in shit.

The casual fan is a necessity because the ratings are such a big deal. The next fans of tomorrow start as casual fans. Saying focus on "the non-casual fan" (read: the smarks) just guarantees the ratings will drop, which means the show is more risky- because having a small but obsessed fanbase just is not sustainable. Heck, it's even easier for the casual fans since they're at least willing to just say "I like [X]. I want them to be World Champion because I like them" instead of trying to dress it up with metrics and stats and storyline excuses and not be willing to say "I just like [X] and I want them to be World Champion because I like them."

Victator Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Well I don't really think casual fans exist. But you were saying energy should be spent on non fans and that is pissing money away. The biggest problem with WWE is they take their customers for granted. Assuming they will stay no matter what even as the audience shrinks. Right now they should focus on stopping the bleeding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 this may be a novel idea, but with 5 hours of mainline programming every week, why not have something that appeals to everyone? a combination of storylines that appeals to hardcore fans, casual fans, and Vince McMahon. this doesn't have to be an all or nothing ordeal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are ratings really that big of a deal anymore? I've always gotten the impression that, post-Monday Night Wars, as long as their ratings are better than a late night infomercial, WWE is fine b/c what they and USA really want is for them to keep pumping out content.

cwoy2j Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Random question, are there any places to get good wrestling related datasets in Excel? I've been using a lot of Power BI and Tableau and Power Pivot in Excel over the last two years at work and would like to actually do something fun with that sort of thing.

We have been zero card for the last 18 months. This, this actually makes a heap of sense. I did 0 carbs for about 2 years and it's damn difficult and the weight will pile back on when you go off of it. I did it for powerlifting and stopped after having my complete shoulder replacement.
