9 Reasons To Stop Watching WWE RAW

1. RAW Has An Identity Problem

RAW has an identity problem. The biggest reason to stop watching is because the company doesn't even know what the show is anymore. The WWE wants RAW, and the company's content rating as a whole, to be TV PG for the purpose of advertising sponsors and business partners like Mattel, Make-A-Wish Foundation and Susan G. Komen. The schedule for their television programming tells a different story, however. Unlike in the 80s and 90s, when the company's flagship shows aired on Saturday mornings, their current premier program takes place from 8PM - 11PM EST on Monday nights, far from a PG time slot. Also, the USA Network produces many cutting-edge television programs that don't fit into a family friendly environment. In addition, the WWE's most important asset and investment right now is in a streaming video network, a service and industry revolution that was predicated primarily by Millennials. Just to clarify, the Millennial generation ages range from young teenagers to early 30s; in other words, not children.. It is clear that RAW doesn't know who its audience is or what it wants to be. This isn't to say that reverting back to TV-14 is the necessary solution. Consistent quality programming in which the WWE knows and caters to their audience is absolutely necessary. Let the WWE figure out what exactly RAW wants to be before you decide whether it's something worth supporting for three hours every Monday night.
