10 Reasons WWE Is Losing Their Audience
5. The Storylines Are Awful
As with any good television show, the goal is to leave the viewer wanting more. Fans of shows like Walking Dead, Game Of Thrones, and Breaking Bad can't get enough. They've even spawned multiple spin-offs and post-shows that are very successful in bringing in ratings for their respective networks.
While WWE has never been bashful about adding pre and post-shows, they are hardly doing the numbers that the competition is in the world of broad-based entertainment. The reason being that, quite frankly, WWE's shows and the quality of their storytelling aren't very good.
WWE's writing and storylines are so poor that they often get dropped without warning and without conclusion. It's a chore to sit through three hours of Raw every week, especially knowing angles might go nowhere.
Imagine if you were watching a series where episode 3 had nothing to do with episodes 1 or 2 nor 4 through 10. What if the roles of the protagonists and antagonists were constantly being flip-flopped, back-and-forth with no explanation or ramifications?
The show probably wouldn't have ever been given the green-light to be produced, but even if it did somehow, it would get cancelled very quickly. Unfortunately in pro-wrestling, the quality of the storylines are secondary and it's a major reason why modern day television viewers just won't tolerate WWE.
