Sure when they behave they're "Our Gang", but when they're bad they're "The Little Rascals". Impact is a zombie promotion now. There is nothing left of the original company and they barely run shows. I follow the youtube channel for old matches. They are having to piggyback on bad drawing indies to do TV.

Finlay kept a really strong push from the time he started in WWE to the end. Especially as he was best known as a solid WCW mid card talent. I think he main evented one or two Smackdown pay per views.

The Bodies put on a clinic, hitting tons of finishers. Man it sucks they never got a WWF tag title run.

We are taking away this ugly belt. Great, it's about time. Here is your new ugly belt.

Really? How much of my money have they gotten? When did I last watch a full episode? What is the cash conversion on a message board thread? I never said they are in danger of shutting down. To his credit, Vince McMahon has found a way to make money as the fan base shrinks. And again, the live show attendance and difficulty selling out even TV tapings is not mentioned. See you in two days

Right watching eight minutes of a show in a week is total investment. Unsuccessful is not the right word because they still make a lot of money despite fan interest being the lowest it has been in a very long time. You also keep dodging the live events being down and TV tapings not selling out.

By lapsed fans, I mean people who still watch old wrestling but don't care about the current product. I still watch old wrestling. The clips WWE puts on Youtube are usually four minutes. From October to December, I was rarely watching those even. House show attendence is down and they are having issues selling out live TV tapings. There is no way to spin that as anything but bad. The whole "hardcore fan" deal is a gimmick entertainment companies do to deflect criticism or lagging interest. Healthy companies don't have to resort to that.

Not really, considering they have not "drawn" me back since 2014. So yeah they lost me awhile back. But that does not mean they can't get fans back. But it would require them to stop the dumb shit that is hard wired into the company. Now for the bolded part. You seem to think saying the audience shrinking is an opinion, when it is an objective fact. The ratings have gotten worse every year for awhile. Live event attendance has been going down. The Network has stayed steady, but it has old content for lapsed fans and PPV for the remaining fans. Okay you don't get it. There are no "marks" or "smart fans, just fans. If you want to sound like Scott Keith, be my guest.

This is what the WWF light heavyweight division should have been. Heavy action with a dash of character. Flash was really good and deserved more of a chance in the WWF. He would not be a main eventer, but would have been really good tagging with Christopher. Godfather and Faarooq beat the piss out of each other.

I love that Acolytes/Public Enemy match. JBL said it went ten more minutes and was a fight the whole time and P.E got more offense.

Which is WWE admitting they have no viewer retention.

LOL yeah one or two videos a week. Don't spend it all in one place. Oh wait and a posts on a message board. What is the dollar conversion to that? There is a mass fan exodus and has been going on for years and it has accelerated since 2015. Who still says "smark", is it 2002?

Ratings have been going down every year and they will keep going down. I only watch a Youtube clip once in awhile and even that is a chore.

I really want this to end with Braun slamming Nia thru the ring.

People want their favorites to win, that is how wrestling has always worked. When AJ Styles was champion he beat Nakamura, Rusev and Samoa Joe and the fans were happy. Its only hard if you go against the grain.

That is more a WWE problem as people bail.

They screwed up Braun who was super over two years ago. They can mess anything up.

They go to another school in Canada. This one guy use to bug the piss out of me whining that everyone hates Daniel Bryan and wants him crippled. Would ask who said that and nothing.

Its more a way to force his the "fans will not be happy unless all of their favorites are pushed." narrative. Even though you can find things like AJ as champion that most people supported.

Well she knows she can't beat Asuka. I did like her going on about not having her chance taken. She stole that title match fair and square.

So they are not going to say Becky chose Ronda is because Asuka made her tap?

It required no work, since it was from the PSP version.

I think the whole thing with her is keeping the Rock happy. As long as he gives the glimmer of hope of one more run, Golden Moose Jax is going to be pushed. She'll get dropped if Rock and Vince have a serious blow up like in the late 00s.

It hurts me to say this. But Nia gets the "Golden Moose Cholak" title from Stephanie. It might do her some good for some man or woman to bust her head.
