WWE RAW Viewership Down

Fandango, Goldust, Damien Sandow, Wyatt family. There is a lack of gimmicks at the top end of the card but there is a few decent ones.

I do agree with this. Also IMO WWE uses gimmicks to get them over and then when they get over they drop it. One recent gimmick I missing is Dashing/Grotesque Cody Rhodes. Imagine that Cody teaming with Goldust.

Hey, if you don't like it, then don't watch! Well played world.

Damnit, Daniel Bryan, why can't you get the fans to want to watch Raw. But yeah, good job Randy, John. You guys are just a little further down people's throats, great job.

While I agree that is part of the problem, the fact that they have nothing interesting going (aside from one story) on is the bigger problem. That one story is the Punk/Bryan vs The Shield/Wyatt Family story and even that is being diminished by the upcoming PPV handicap matches. Unless they are plan on merge the two matches into one, I don't seeing it end well at all for any of those involved. And the fact that they are getting like 5 minutes total to talk on the show is just moronic. When you have two of the most over charismatic guys in your company working together, you would think they would be given a lot more time, but instead we continue to get 30 minutes of Cena, Orton, and the Authority going at each other in a very repetitive manner. And when I say that I don't just mean they are repeating the same thing nearly every week, but the they are constantly repeating things they said earlier in the same speech to the point where it is annoying. I just hope they are paying with us at this point as this has become a very uneventful lead up to Royal Rumble.

Im all in for an aggressive Sandow. He would, on paper be a true threat. Someone with aggression and book smarts. Thats dangerous. He knows when to pick his spots, and when to back down.

Back to the topic. WWE writters just have no clue what to do. Look at the Sin Cara-Del Rio match. We have a former WHC, who just lost the title lose to someone who has literlay been in the bottom of the bucket for months. And Del Rio lost clean. What the ? I'm no Del Rio fan, or Cara fan, but unless you plan on shooting Sin Cara to the moon, why would you have a former WHC job to a jobber? Especially to someone that has held nothing as far as titles go in the WWE. I know in Mexico, Mistico is a big deal, but in WWE, he's on Hornswoggles playing feild. He's a joke with a huge wrestling move list. I'm all for him getting a push, but it shouldn't have been at the expense of Del Rio. He should be feed from the bottom up. Starting with jobbers to lower mid card. Now Del Rio looks weak, aswell as the WHC title itself.

Then the contract signing. I hate that every one turns into a table flipping street fight. This would have been the time to enstate a " Don't touch one another until TLC, or you get stripped of your title!" This would add suspence to any backstage segment or in ring segment where these two may come face to face. Where you do want them to fight, but fid yourself saying don't do it, you'll lose your title. This also gives enoigh time for people ro actually want to see Orton hit Cena with an RKO or Cena to hit the AA on Orton. Which, with this stipulation, would make people get the PPV. But, we have already seen Orton get the AA. I'm sure next week we will see Cena get the RKO. But, that is over done for nearly every big match. Its also the fact that we all know Cena is walking as The Undisputed Champ. Their is a small part of me that sees HHH screwing Cena, but we will see.

And finally, its the commentators that make my enjoyment of Raw or WWE as a whole very unwatchable. They don't call moves. Most of the time its pointless banter to build their own characters and voicing their own opinion when they should be biased. Or Cole talking about the App. We know what we are watching, we know its the WWE. He says WWE about 200 times a show. And pushes the App about 20-30 times a night. Its old. I think the old saying, 2 is a couple,3 is a crowd highly applies to the commentary. There needs to be 2. With 3 everything turns into a debate, and the match gets lost in all the chatter.. JBL was fun for awhile, but his singing and chanting along with RTruth and the crowd has to ing go. I miss the heel JBL. King, sorry man, your a legend, but that ship has sailed with JR. Send him down to Florida to train some up and coming announcers an interviewers. Cole. Cole. Give me Josh Mathews and Matt Striker. Josh Mathews and Joey Styles. Joey Styles and JBL. JBL and Josh Mathews.... Booker T and JBL. Something different.

They deserve whatever hit in ratings they've taken in the last three months. Since September, the product has been, and continues to be, total garbage.

To me it seems like it's a huge mess backstage right now and therefore everyone is just getting lost in the shuffle. There's really no clear storylines outside of Cena, Orton, Bryan, Punk, Shield, and the Wyatts.

The product just isn't very good. They have the talent but their booking has been atrocious.
