10 Measures WWE Can Take To Improve AWFUL Ratings

3. Make RAW Make Sense?

WWE main roster programming makes no sense.

People don't like to suffer from blinding f*cking migraines, and so it is perhaps a sensible idea to make it make sense; that way, viewers might return from the darkened room, remove the bag of frozen peas from their head, and venture bravely once more to the USA Network.

Take, for example, this Monday's RAW Tag Team Championship match. The RAW Tag Team Champions were Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins. The Usos defeated The Revival at Super ShowDown just 72 hours prior. This win, theoretically, should have granted The Usos a Championship Opportunity (™). Instead, The Revival were suddenly and inexplicably named number one contenders on Twitter.

WWE, two months ago, advertised a vacancy for a Continuity Script Supervisor.

WWE, presumably, was willing to pay close to a six-figure sum to the successful candidate. Several hundred of the fans who pay to watch WWE stormed into the aforementioned replies and pointed out the plot hole. The match was subsequently changed. On that basis, WWE should announce every card in advance, in a matter befitting a sports organisation, incidentally, and then use the Twitter engagement to decide if they have made a f*ck-brained whoopsie.

Failing that, like, don't be as thick as f*ck? Sleep for more than two hours per night?
