Seriously have no idea what you are arguing. Vince runs raw and HHH runs NXT. It's not that complicated.
WCW stopped getting funded after Turner was ousted after the merger
WCW died because one executive after the AOL/Time merger looked at it and said "We don't want wrestling on our channel". Without TV the company was worthless, and that was that.
Summerslam was fun. Lots of small things to complain about but the show was very enjoyable so that's all that matters.

Yep.
Feed. Me. More.
EDIT: Seriously though if someone else wants a turn, go ahead.
lol. Sable came back after that and played mistress.
her husband is also the top star in WWE.

Sexual harrassment? Vince outright raped Rita Chatterton (allegedly).
The bright, bright future right there. Take a glance at greatness in the making.

Do you think that, possibly, there are people who actually enjoy Raw and have little to no interest in NXT?
I don't know, he was also naive and let Nash, Hall and Hogan book themselves which kinda sucked
Eh, they've already patched up whatever damage might have been done, and we haven't even gotten to Raw yet. Brock made the Undertaker tap out, and that's going to be drilled into people's skulls for MONTHS. Summerslam also ended with Brock Lesnar's music after Paul Heyman declared him the winner. Those two things are going to be the long term takeaways from the match once time dulls the fuckery of the finish in everyone's memory and Paul's hype machine does its thing.
Lesnar can lose via shenanigans (last night, Wrestlemania, etc.) and still have his mystique intact enough to make it a big fucking deal when somebody beats him legit.

Lol, let me see if there's any new blood wanting one. I'll send it to you if there's no one else.

We only can go by what's in the public suit, and that claimed sexual harassment.
But yes, alleged sexual assault.

It would be a little easier to compare if both of them had weekly televised shows on a network station where you could compare ratings.
Also, you've shifted your goalposts so far that I'm pretty sure we're on a completely different football field at this point.
then argue that you like what you see on RAW instead of arguing that Vince did nothing wrong, we're talking majority here. Ratings are at an all time low and the Network is below expectations (in addition of being trash outside the US) so i'm guessing it's not all flowers and rainbow
Already taking the spots!
Not true.
I think the only issue with that whole booking process was Hogan. Dude bled WCW of it's finances and pretty much ran the ratings in the ground because of his "card". Imagine if Hogan took the contract in the beginning, but decided "You know what, I'm putting over the talent". It would put him in the good light, while letting the roster grow because it wouldn't be all Hogan and his pals. Nash booking was iffy. For every good decision, he made one bad decision (Goldberg losing/Finger point of doom).
This is why the inmates don't run the asylum.
Ratings are pretty low, then?

What's a little sexual assault when you've helped to cover up a murder, right, Mr. McMahon?
WWE ratings aren't at an all time low, but if they start dipping any lower then we're going to start getting comparisons to the Diesel era.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The problem I see with Lesnar is that basically anyone beating him seems totally implausible. The only reason it seemed vaguely plausible Undertaker could win is that he's a 50 year old legend and WWE protects those guys.
But basically anyone else you already know what happens - lesnar wins or fuck finish

Sure. But still one of the top shows on cable.
.And you have to, unless you can find another beast. I have no issue with this.
You can have decent fuck finishes though.
With the proper build up, any of the mid or upper card talents could plausibly be a threat to Lesnar. I would have totally bought Pre-Cena Rusev as a threat to Lesnar, for example. I would have bought Bryan being a threat to Lesnar simply because Bryan can stand there and said "I killed vipers, animals, and end games. I've already killed beasts"

It's not shifting goalposts. He used the example of NXT being good and Raw being bad. I'm just asking if he's considered that not everyone shares that opinion with him.

Post-Cena Rusev can still be a threat.
I hope they can "fix" Rusev. It's nice to see a personality but I want the Crusher back..soonish.
That username just screams jobber.
but cable subscriptions are also going down pretty fast, so i'm technically right? CHECKMATE
Brock vs Rusev
The facial expressions and body language alone could sell a main event on their own.

Damn right. A fucking tank. There are no stupid storylines that ruin Rusev for me. Not even Dolph can ruin him.

This is the first year there has ever been a decline in cable history, and it was only by .5%. So not really. The cord cutter narrative is pretty over hyped.
