Nobody is watching wrestling anymore....
>>
We need heroes

More people see WWE now than ever before due to social media and streaming. The PLE's and Manias are more watched than ever.
What you mean is that less people are watching television, same as less people listen to AM Radio compared to decades previous.

And yet the quality of the shows are worse. What's the argument there?
>>
>>20676996
And that’s a good thing!
Because being popular makes you like Mcdonalds while being unpopular makes you like a 5-star restaurant. It’s basic science!

There was a tipping point where the promoters realized that quantity > quality, for profits. It's hard for Wrestling to compete with more mainstream entertainment so instead you put out more shows and try to get more money out of the existing fans instead. What can YOU do? Stop watching completely and demand higher quality. But it'll never happen because there's always someone else who's willing to put up with what they're doing.

I know you're joking but this argument is actually not even based in reality, BECAUSE restaurant with high Michelin Ratings are usually booked months if not years in advance. McDonalds is only more popular because anyone can go in at any time, no matter where it's located. You can't just make unlimited amounts of food, so the distribution of such meals is not limited by demand but supply. If you actually compare the business ONE high quality restaurant makes compared to ONE local McDonalds, the restaurant wins every time. So technically it is more popular.

>>20676996
Can confirm.
>>20677200
You're assuming that all of those numbers translate to views by actual humans. Even smaller youtubers pad their view counts.
>>
>>20676996
oh i'm watching it.... watching it DIE haahaha
>>
>>20676996
Blame Meltzer, his plan all along was to kill it and it's working.
>>
>>20677638
New Era, mid PG Era, Late Vince Era, Late WCW, etc. are way worse
>>20677685
Nobody is paying money to buy subs to paid subscriptions to watch streaming events and if social media is all botted then what is stopping any othee company.
>>
>>20676996
Because there are no stars
the stories suck
too much flippy shit
PG slop (WWE)
0 edge
>>
>>20676996
wrestling is being held down by dimeless motherfuckers who wont go away. im talking about both the old shitters and the new shitters. they parasitize everything that starts to grow and keep it from growing any more. what needs to happen is a big housecleaning in which everyone who has failed to draw dimes for ten years or more gets booted, and all trannies and activists get chased out to the last one.

>And yet the quality of the shows are worse
Maybe that's just you growing up like when you realized the quality of Santa's presents got shittier and shittier.
>>
>>20676996
It sucks worse than ever
>>
>>20676996
In a few years when WWE's 40+ guys retire it will be dead
