Raw Rating comes in with bad number.

The casual and some of the regular fans could give two shits for Benoit's workrate or JBL's uncharismatic midcard act

You know this how?

Casual fans (people that I know) that used to watch wrestling with me back in the days and used to be into all the WWF/E characters.

The casual and some of the regular fans could give two shits for Benoit's workrate or JBL's uncharismatic midcard act, they want to see compelling storylines instead of Vince insulting their intelligence all the time, nobody wants to see Divas dodgeball on a big p.p.v. or a retard as a serious main eventer. Without a good brand new storyline I don't see WWE improving in the ratings at all.

The big issue here is that there are too many storylines on Raw without the big payoff of a ***** 20 minute match. Who the hell wants to sit thru all of the Diva Search crap for weeks for the big payoff to be a FUCKING DODGE BALL GAME! On the other side there is Benoit the perfect technical wrestler who rarely talks but can carry any jobber to a *** match. He has been wrestling Evolution for several weeks in main event matches and making everybody tapout but......all of a sudden he has to fight Orton because he won a battle royale? Who the fuck is Randy Orton? Why should I care about him? Blah blah blah because HHH says so? No sir I am not buying that.

Things like the Diva Search don't have payoffs. Just punishment.

 

Unless Joy does a porno. That's a payoff.

Most fan can stand to sit through 20 minute matches. I usually lose intrest after the commericial break. Have shorter TV matches and longer matches on PPV. I can sit and watch those.

Why? How this a match being on pay per view affect how much you enjoy it? You can sit through a 25 minute match on ppv, yet if the EXACT same match happened on Raw, you couldnt? It's an easy solution. Some long matches, some short matches. You need a balance.

TV matches seem more dragged out and there is no story of flow behind it.

I think some are forgetting that the wwe has to fill up 2 hours for each brand every week. That is why there are longer matches than say in 2002. The depth is just not there or unless we want more stuff like the Diva Search nd gasp Tough Enough for filling time.

The big payoff would have to be the women doing some Fear Factor stunts in G-Strings while wrestling in chocolate pudding and their tops accidently came off but would be covered up by the pudding so it would not technically be nudity......just perky firm breast with pointly chocolate nipples.

Christ UndertakerHeart how do you watch football games?

 

Why do all things have to be quick.

 

I have ADD and I've got the attention span to watch a forty minute match. Maybe you just don't care about workrate. But you know what? Most people would if they were taught to.
