9 Reasons To Stop Watching WWE RAW

Ever thought of just taking a break?

Like any tv show that has been on air for over 20 years, there are peaks and valleys, good times and bad. Whether it's professional sports or network television programs, some seasons are more entertaining than others. The WWE and RAW in particular, is no different. Currently, the show is suffering from one of its biggest slumps in its long history and, according to the soon-to-be antiquated Nielsen ratings, fans are tuning out by the hundreds of thousands. Some reports indicate they have lost 1 million views in 2015. Generally, wrestling audiences are an extremely loyal group. One widely accepted school of thought within the professional wrestling industry is that the diehard wrestling fans will always watch the product; no matter how bad the show gets, the core followers will still tune in. For the longest time that may have been true, but with the ratings trending as low as they have been, it may be a sign the core audience is fed up and finally starting to tune out. Rumors abound that if the WWE doesn't turn RAW around on its own, the network that airs the show may soon get involved. As the television industry continues to go through radical changes, now might be a good time for wrestling fans to make a radical change of their own, to stop watching RAW...
