10 Reasons Vince McMahon And Triple H Don't Deserve Their Payrises

9. Raw Ratings Are Dropping Consistently

WWE loves to play with wording during their €œDid You Know€ segments so they can tout various ratings victories, but the fact of the matter is they€™re consistently losing viewers. The lead-up to WrestleMania is supposed to be the company€™s hottest period, yet the numbers for Raw are down across the board compared to 2014€™s. While the past several weeks have seen a pattern of growth, they€™re still down compared to last year€™s €“ something that appears to be an alarming trend of WWE€™s audience gradually reducing year-by-year. The ironic thing is, at the rate things are going the viewers are being reduced to just the hardcore wrestling fans, yet that€™s the same segment of the base that WWE expends the least bit of effort catering to. Is producing a weekly television show that constantly underperforms in the ratngs department a cause for a raise?
