meltxz says when they stop doing better than other usa shows. its why usa went all in on wwe. they did better than every show on the network.
take raw and SD out and usa goes form 7 to like 13 in terms of ratings

The only positive about the viewership is that the third hour is higher than it was last week.
trauma vs canis is probably my moty

He was in the main event last week too, though.
The Cruiserweights were the draw obviously.
2016 raw would kill for 2000 dying nitro ratings

The Cruiserweights hardly helped. It must be Roman. Roman won this week. That must be what made the difference.

ROH is on a station nobody gets and TNA failed out of national TV. It's already just about done on a national television scale
That's my point. It's a minor miracle either of them even have TV deals no matter how shit they are.
WWE continues because of the brand, not the genre. The genre is seen as near worthless.
WWE continues because it effectively monopolized american professional wrestling and basically put a ceiling on any other competition getting decent television deals. WWE going down would probably allow one or two other promotions to get halfway decent television deals because there'd no longer be the looming specter of competing against WWE anymore plus other promotions would be able to get better talent and actually hold onto them.
Or Mexico. At least until an American promotion starts paying decently.
It goes without question that if WWE would ever go under the US wrestling industry would go into a recession for a bit, but it would eventually recover and I think one or two decent promotions would rise as a result.

Don't need to. Gaf will give you all the details on one page instead of fast forwarding through 3-6 hours of Raw
If WWE dies, it would be a failing of the McMahon family, either ending it or selling it off.
If that is the case, someone like Triple H or even another creative type might try to start something from the ashes.
I imagine we'd have something similar to Jeff Jarrett's early vision of NWA-TNA at first.

Reigns is bad for ratings. Last year when Raw had shitty ratings he was champion if I recall. Him winning's bad for ratings too.
SD is gonna go buckwild on these boys with Cena/Ambrose in the main event and that IC title match. Hell, I bet it was competition. "You put Reigns/Owens in a steel cage against Cena/Ambrose and see who wins" and watch who will win. SD will take this week.

Wouldn't WWE attempt to start trying before they tank? That's all I want.
They clearly are not trying with the last two Raws. They're not trying by still pushing Reigns as top face when no one wants to cheer for him.

The thought of HHH and Steph having to get real jobs is so horribhahahahahaahaha
They're both rich enough that they'd never have to work a day in their life ever again. HHH would likely start working for someone else in the business or start up his own small promotion.

Hi Sunny!
Sunny's reading?
I'm sorry but I need an explanation for why he made this donation
@NKYgirl1
May I ask @Fahrenthold why would anyone donate to the Trump Foundation? Serious question. I don't get it. #TRUMPCHARITY
@Fahrenthold
Good question! I've asked 3 biggest recent donors: @VinceMcMahon, Richard Ebers, @NBCUniversal. No comment from all.

Heenan was talking over the instant replay and it shows Doink is doing the whopee cushion(which is a flying seated senton) Heenan goes
'And look at this move. You just don't get up from that!'
and the camera pauses the replay showing Doink in the air
'and how can he stop in mid-air? That's great!'
'That's the tape operator!'
'That's the tape operator? That's who Doink is? I knew it!'
'And look at this move. You just don't get up from that!'

People thinking wwe will die, funny.
You mean Seth Rollins is positioned as the top face right? Like what are people watching that I'm not. Reigns is clearly still one of the top faces but let's not act like he's getting center billing with the Seth Turn.

Wouldn't that be fucking irony?
No thanks.
Shit, I didn't realize Turner lost that much cash
10 out of 10.
True.
WWE would exhaust every option it has if that happened. They haven't even gone into the "ok this company will fail we gotta go to the well" thing yet.
What would you do without wrestling, Bluekaveli? Really asking. What do you envision?
