10 Most Significant Reasons For WWE Raw's Low Ratings

7. The Backstage Agents Aren't Helping The Talent In Putting Together Good Matches

While the creative department is charged with actually coming up with storylines and wrestlers€™ characters, the actual matches and segments are put together by the wrestlers involved and the backstage agents. These agents are usually retired WWE Superstars, and have included such names as Pat Patterson, Brian James (Road Dogg), Joey Mercury, and Dave Finlay. In the past, these agents worked well with the active talent in putting on great segments on a regular basis. In 2015, and especially on July 13th, these successes have been limited to only a handful of cases. Despite the incredible experience possessed by these agents, they can€™t seem to replicate the success of years past. One of these agents is responsible for the 2015 KOTR winner Wade Barrett losing to R-Truth (€˜King What€™s Up€™, the man whose scepter is a plunger) in less than a minute. Who would actually find that entertaining? More importantly, what purpose does such a match serve, other than further devaluing the once-prestigious KOTR tournament? There appears to be disconnect somewhere between the creative team that writes the scripts for each episode of RAW, and the agents who actually put together the segments and matches. There€™s also an even bigger disconnect between what these people think works and what fans want to see. Clearly there€™s something wrong with how these agents think if they find that the R-Truth vs. Barrett match-up was a good thing.
