I agree but they may have to use Hogan's controversy for ratings.

I watched portions of it and it ain't horrible people on gaf expect everything to be Oscar worthy or perfect scores. Better way to spend your Monday nights that's for sure.

I worked in tv for 3 years brother. And each station I left, their ratings crumbled when I walked out of that door dude. Neither have recovered. But ever since joining Amazon Jeff Beezos has become an even bigger billionaire because of me, jack!

I don't even get it. What was stopping WWE from having Cena vs Ambrose vs Styles last? People could have just watched it after the debate.
That actually worked out kinda cool from memory.

Has there ever been a match with more to live up to than Omega/Okada II? Like they could legit have one of the two or three best matches of the year and it won't be enough for some people.
I was lapsed when Taker/Shawn at Mania 25 happened. What was it like building up to the rematch?
TLC?
Hardy's/EnC/Dudelye's kind of fucked it up for everyone forever. Yet, the 2nd match was better. As was Austin vs Rock 2 despite ending. Taker vs Shawn I liked the 1st better.

On the ratings front, there is not a single person in the company that is proven to draw ratings. Every "top draw" recently has had bad viewership hours for something. Even Brock has had weak hours. And it'll stay that way as long as WWE books guys like shit and puts out nonsensical and illogical storylines.
It was expected to be really great, maybe even MOTY-quality, but not one of the greatest matches ever like I think people expect out of Omega and Okada.

It was petty serious. Taker didn't want the rematch. So Shawn kept fucking with Taker until he cost him his title.
Taker then agreed...on one condition.
And everyone was like....
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU Hell, we could probbaly find the thread here.

Vince and HHH didn't want to miss the best part of their own show or Trump. These types of calls are rarely ever about what fans want
Yes, and situations like these are why NJPW matches will only get tougher/more physical, it's the only way they have to try and surpass the previous match

Yeah....if anything I'm more worried for the performers than the fans lol
I'd prefer they didn't kill themselves for 7 stars

I'm just hoping they don't do another dragon superplex or something even more brutal to the back of the head.

Never forget lol.
Wasn't that move from the top rope?
Also would the hype for this rematch be the same if Meltzer didn't give it 6 stars?
They probably won't but there are lots of other ways to try and end your career

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Keller's analysis is inane. There's no evidence that anyone on their roster draws ratings. Even Lesnar's "regular" appearances (e.g. not with Goldberg) doesn't save a show from shit ratings.
The entire ratings thing is dumb anyways because WWE should be making like 3 times what they make in ad revenue except they can't because advertising companies don't want to market to poor people. Hence why ever other ad is that dude who messes this hair up if he wants to mess this hair up.
This will happen, without a doubt.

The general statement that wrestling fans are poor is absurd. Wrestling is a pretty expensive hobby tbh. I hate when they think that.
going to those mania's ain't cheap

Hell, even going to a house show for 15 bucks, you're gonna buy a shirt and some food. That stuff adds up.

Not at all saying I disagree. Just pointing out that TNA tried and failed to convince three stations and each's own unique set of advertisers this, and WWE did the same during their last underwhelming TV deal. Audience size and perception have only decreased since then, which fuels these flames harder.

I wonder if WWE would ever considering including a traditional PPV for TV as part of a deal. How many people would watch Survivor Series if it just aired on NBC one year? Or Halloween Havoc? Would it overlap completely with their current fans or have lapsed people tuning in?
Main Event eventaully completely fizzled out ratings-wise. But WWE fans also have a canon of importance when it comes to events, and Main Event was not considered high on it compared to a Big 4 (or a Halloween Havoc, which I still believe WWE is leaving money on the table by not reviving).
