Guest Frank Grimes Report post Posted December 16, 2003 Despite a slightly lower average attendance & gate, these numbers are actually good news for WWE. The fact that they're actually selling out the occasional show points to them booking slightly smaller buildings, which are less expensive to book, more than making up for the gate difference, not to mention the ratings increases. This company isn't going to be in the slightest risk of going out of business in the foreseeable future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mole 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2003 My theory is that the media is the one that helps wrestling become popular. During the two boom periods, wrestling was all over the media. Granted ratings were high during those times, but it helped because of wrestling all over magazines and TV shows. One of the reasons the media doesn't care for wrestling is because it sucks right now. There aren't any new characters that are getting the media's attention to actually talk about wrestling. Plus the fact that the storylines suck. It is just a theory though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
