Let's see. The product of both shows were really excellent during the Monday Night Wars and now it's not. That's about it.
I used to tape Raw and Nitro every week and now I can barely stand to watch more than a few minutes at a time.
Now it's boring, predictable, stale, there are no good storylines, there are no good characters, the emotion that used to exist is not there anymore for the most part, the product seems to be geared towards a much younger audience. What reasons are there to watch?
If I could point to a time when it stopped being entertaining, I guess I'd have to say 2002. That's when they stopped trying.
