I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of responses like "That will never happen" or even "Oh, you'll get over it" but seriously. I honestly thought what happened tonight was wrong as hell. BUT, chanting will only do so much. When people don't see something they like live, walk out of the arena, literally. Go to the snack bar when you see Cena/Orton for the umpteenth time, and wait there. THAT'LL show them.

don't we have to own a 'neilson box' for that to count toward their ratings?
I'd imagine the cable boxes could see what we're all watching, but I don't think they legally can do that yet without written consent & a special device

I honestly haven't watched one second of today's WWE programming since the Raw after Night of Champions. That was the last straw for me, and things sound like they've gotten worse.
Any info about WWE I get is usually from this forum.
Do I still buy WWE figures and the occasional DVD? Yes.
But they lost a viewer in me until things turn around......

Awwww shucks...but if I stop watching, I won't have anything to complain about!
I would just start watching 'The Bachelor' and find a forum to complain about that show.

Fair enough, but when someone like sponsors see that, they can excessive their right to pull their sponsorship from WWE's programming, no toys, videos games, etc, nor any extra revenue they get from the copious amount of sponsors they have. |

Holy Sh*t! This years Royal Rumble in my household was like the scene from Rocyk IV where the audience was all for Ivan Drago (Batista) at first but then when Rocky (Roman Reigns) over came the odds when nobody gave him a fighting chance was the last man, we ALL turned on Batista and felt dejected when he won.
Great Rumble, best (in my eyes) in a long time. I was very entertained!
A bit bummed Roman didn't win but that's to be expected. You know the WWE... ALWAYS predictable.
This years 1994 Diesel... Roman Reigns! My hat goes off to that performance! I truly see a STAR in the making.
... Sorry Dean F'n Ambrose, your guy is NOT the man.

The ONLY way to hurt them is to not only stop watching Raw (taking away ratings) but also don't buy into the network.....

I see the point you're trying to make. But I don't want to stop watching. I love wrestling and I want to watch it. I think there's a fine line between being frustrated and being entitled. A good product is good for business. But a good product is subjective. I'm not happy either - just playing devil's advocate.

Sadly when one sponsor steps away, someone else is usually willing to pay for that advertising spot, albeit at a lower cost. A few years ago there is no chance in hell that a Tax Service would have been able to afford to "Sponsor" a PPV. It really seems to me that the WWE could honestly care less about their bottom line as long as they stay in the black.
If more and more people boycott WWE Live events and Television broadcasts this will start to really effect the companies bottom line. If the WWE Network bombs that will really effect the bottom line. The WWE is smart by getting the 6 months up front in this light. I am willing to bet that the "Six Month Commitment" will translate into "Pay $59.94 Now for six months of content." So really the WWE Network will probably launch as a success, and probably start to fall apart in six months time if things remain the way they are.

WWE and wrestling as a whole is like a drug for me, lol. No matter how much it upsets me I can't, nor will I ever leave it alone. Don't get me wrong, this is the closest in a loooooooong time they've come to totally depleting my interest. But People make it sound so easy to just stop watching. It ain't that simple when it's pretty much all you know growing up. I'll admit it. I won't stop watching, and I'll probably keep complaining. But how does that make me different from a a fan of anything else when you think about it?
I'll probably die with my hopes that they'll turn it around eventually but whatever, lol.

I stopped watching this junk a LONG damn time ago and haven't looked back. They lost a LONG time fan of over 22+ years who used to order EVERY PPV for YEARS on end. Did it really make a difference?? Nope and I don't really care. I just know I'm one of the very FEW on this forum that stuck to their guns and actually did stop watching.

You people amaze me. Is there no end to your constant bitching and moaning? 2014 has been awesome so far and for the first time in a long time both RAW and SD have me fully entertained and looking forward to them every week. I wish you smarks would actually follow through with your empty threats for once and stop watching so we wouldn't have to put up with your incessant complaining any more. You people really need to get over yourselves because the product has been really amazing these past few months.

Here is my 2 cents. While I do agree Daniel Bryan is Insanely over and should be headed to wm in the main event and dolph ziggler should be in a better spot right now I'm not going to stop watching because they aren't.
WWE puts out a product in which I decide to watch and even though I agree and disagree with some of their decisions it is Still their decisions to make. I think it's crazy that people actually threaten to stop watching if they don't get what they want lol
I personally have been a wrestling fan who has continuously watched the product probably around 25 years since I was around 8 years old never once have I said to myself "I'm not going to watch if I don't get the outcome I want!)
