>>19225276Cody is not the reason the viewership is that low, just like that jeet isn't the reason those ratings were what they were
>>19225308That's like saying Hangman isn't the reason for no half milly, yet he is
>>19225276WWE has a new audience.
>>19225360based ManjuManju
>>19225276Jinder, Roman, and Cena paved the way for Cody to get no milly.
>>19225308Sole reason? Obviously not. but WWE did put years of effort and money into making Cody the new top guy and it doesn't seem to be paying off in any way.
>>19225614I think without Cody being there when he was viewership would be even lower now. They need to do something new with him soon though. Not a turn, but a little freshen up of the gimmick, new friends, new feuds. Him hanging out here to dry is just going to make the fans get bored with him.
>>19225614Other than the 4 new media deals worth over 8 billion dollars, I guess you're right. But let's be real, you're just going to be a fag and claim that money was made from Roman even though it was clear to everyone with 2 brain cells to rub together saw that the plan was for Cody to beat Roman at WrestleMania and become The Guy.
>>19225614To be fair his booking has been pretty dogshit since he first dropped the belt to Cena. I don't know why they keep doing this "WILL HE USE THE BELT AS A WEAPON??" angle every damn match but they really need to do something new already. Shit is stale as hell.
you retards really think cody turning heel is going to make him interesting are actually slow af
>>19225639These multibillion dollar TV companies don't care who the tOp GuY is. They just care about past preformance, future forecasts, and most of all; if they can get sponsors to buy ad spots during it.
>>19225654Worked for Roman ehhhhhh it might work
>>19225663it worked cause vince knew what he was doing
>>19225308Put the belt on Bobby Fish then if the champion doesn't matter. Or are you implying that Jinder and Cody are about the same level?
>>19225661That changes nothing about what I said. You're talking past me because you don't have the balls to address what I've said head on. Cody rising to the top of WWE and supplanting Roman lead to the most lucrative deals, adjusted for inflation, in the history of the company.Comcast is a $100 billion company. If they are that worried about WWE ratings, if they're that concerned with recouping their money, then they can use their own ad slots during Sunday Night Football or other top programming to air WWE commercials. These deals are all partnerships, not just "Bring the viewers while we do no promotion, no commercials, nothing at all" situationships.It's also the case that it's not on AEW to bring every single viewer to AEW. WBD not using more of their own airtime to air AEW ads may point to a belief they could make more money from airing a paid ad vs advertising AEW, but that's an internal calculation they are making of their own volition. Once again, it doesn't change the reality of the situation.
>>19225276Imagine if they pushed champ-era Jinder as a faceThey'd have the whole of India watching forever
>>19225784People are talking past you because you're an idiotic bootlicking faggot. Avg Cody fan btw
>>19225276CAN'THINDERTHEJINDER
>>19225784>>19225926Jinder would've been champion when WWE started talking seriously about a deal with Saudi Arabia. You can bend things however you want.
>>19225308>E-cucks are finally admitting the champs aren’t the draws & the brand is You could put that belt on a 57 year old single mother & the ratings would be the exact same
>>19225926Responses like these are why this place is such a den of faggotry and retardation- "If Comcast is worried about Smackdown ratings, they should air WWE commercials during their highest-rated show"- "Average Cody bootlicker"Even attempting to address retards like this like they could actually know something, that they could actually engage in some kind of productive dialogue, is clown behavior and I should have known better for thinking anything had changed.
Linear TV ratings are dead anyway
unironically >vince>no vince
>>19225276Big Poppa Poo was a great champion and I never said otherwise. Been backing him up since 2017.
>>19226535man you are a legitimate retard, would you watch a movie where there is no tension, no struggle, and no overcoming adversity? wwe was hot when cody was doing exactly that but now you couldn't name an actual heel that got properly built up in the last 3 years even, if the hero just wins all the time then why would I care to watch? This is solely on the booker for jobbing out his heels in the most underwhelming way possible if you look at somebody like drew for example. One man can only do so much on his own.
>>19225308TRVKE
stardust is a midcarder
yeye u know it fucking shit fed in the mud
>>19228344I don't know if it's Triple H being obsessed with long reigns or a TKO mandate that the face of the company needs to be champion at all times, but if they don't stop it soon it will kill smackdown. Bringing more heels won't help if you know always how each feud will end and why
REDEEM'D
>8 billion people on the planetwhere the fuck are they
>>19225317Hangmaam isnt the reasonThe reason is aewThey could put on a shoot fight between hogans zombie and 200 piranhas and it wouldnt move past a milly
>>19225276Grimoly
Jinder worked really hard to get his championship run and looked awesome, I feel like a lot of the hatred people had for his run was actual racism and not acceptable racism
>>19231888>I feel like a lot of the hatred people had for his run was actual racismLook at the way people talk about Samoans. You aren't wrong.
>>19231888He was shoot the best championship run post 2015 because nobody knew where it was going. He did a few great skits at first until the writers buried him by giving him shit promos and the Nakamura feud out of all heatsuckers.
