Can't USA uses RAW's third hour for a revamped Main Event on Tuesdays or something? WWE needs to stop using the same people EVERY RAW and SmackDown, we don't want to see them so many times a week. And don't stop having the same matches each show. Gets real boring after a while.

Raw is doing the same ratings as WCW Monday Nitro in 2000. At this rate, they'll be doing the same ratings as TNA Impact by Memorial Day next year.

It does no good to even discuss it. That company has always had a "shut up. We know what we're doing and you need to just learn to love what we're doing" attitude. It doesn't matter what the ratings are. They still see it that way.

The basic format presentation and look of the show has not changed in closing in on 20 years. They have been running the same owner/gm/authority is out to screw the current popular face wrestler angle for close to 20 years. The product is stale. The show needs to be produced in a different manner, it needs refreshed. WWE is one of the most "un-hip" things out there when it comes down to it because the show is stale and out of touch with reality and what is cool/hip. Why they have never figured out that in from breaks and out from breaks should feature music that is "cool" and current I will never understand. Plenty of media outlets use real music on a regular basis, WWE could easily do the same for the live show. Should be different music featured at every chance. It's funny because the one thing WWE has always strived to be is cool and current, but they cannot figure out how to keep up with current pop culture to make that happen. They are lost, and I do not see how they can turn it around, they are too set in their ways and their vision of their brand is so misguided its not funny. WWE's vision of their brand prohibits forward thinking.
They don't want to be professional wrestling, they want to get as far away from that as they can-Vince always has. Vince has finally got his wish, this is what his vision is ... and when that happens this is what you end up with.

Not surprised. Yo, IWC your boy Rollins is tanking. It isn't Rollins fault, it is the atrocious booking and lack of any full-time starpower (aside Cena). Rollins is playing his character the best it can be preformed. Raw didn't start setting new lows until September, where Rollins was booked against a 56 year old. The problem is it is the same show with slight variations each week. Every feud last 7 months and has a million single's matches. Every time someone starts gaining momentum, they have to be fed to Big Show. None of that is Rollins fault. |

It's the predictability for me. I know going in Cena isn't losing. A title isn't switching hands. Main event will be interfered with. It's highly predictable now.
During the boom of the Monday Night Wars, it was always a guess as to what would happen throughout the night. You didn't know when Sting would appear. If DX was going to invade WCW and actually get in. If Austin would be let back in the building. If Macho Man would stop holding up the show. It was must see.
Now, if you miss it, you can catch next week's RAW and it'll mostly be the same. Only PPVs make a real difference nowadays.

Even if they didn't have a ton of competition for eyes right now, their product sucks. I just got back into actually watching WWE live over the past few months and last night's RAW was hands down the worst since I came back. I didn't even end up watching most of it. I just had it on as background noise and did other stuff.

Only PPVs make a real difference nowadays. Ha! Even that's not strictly true anymore. Look at the card for HIAC. All the matches except for Rollins vs. Kane are rehashes from Summer Slam and NOC. |

Only PPVs make a real difference nowadays.This PPV coming up is pretty much a carbon copy of the last few PPVs in one way or another. Hell, even the same as the MSG show from last Saturday. And I can guarantee that the matches that happen at HIAC that most will take place again the following night on Raw, and JBL can say, "Wow! We are getting these types of matches for free tonight?? This is incredible, only the WWE can do this!" Which he isn't wrong, for only the WWE can be so stagnant and boring that they keep putting on the same matches for its fans and come off confused as to why ratings are dropping each week. |

WWE needs more part-timers from the past. Someone check if Gobbledy Gooker is available ASAP!

i became really into vintage ecw for a while and lost complete interest in what is happening currently. outside of rollins and lesnar, i don't really have any interest in their characters.
*throw owens on the list as well.

Good. It needs to keep going lower and lower. Maybe they will get out of autopilot mode and actually start putting effort into their product instead of repeating the same show every week. Aswell as build stars the FANS want to see and not what VINCE wants to force feed people.

Honestly, it was very boring yesterday. I'm not one to complain too much about raw, but damn was it hard to watch. By 9:30, I was flipping betwen the steelers game and mets game.
And next week, my Giants are on so I'll definitely be skipping raw. Hoping wwe realizes they need to do something major and quick.

Mid 90's early 2000's couldn't think about missing RAW. Now I don't even waste my time with it cause it's the same every week.
