9 Reasons To Stop Watching WWE RAW

6. Ratings Suggest You Should

Ratings are down. They are the lowest in the United States since early 1997 and that was a very bad time for the WWE, financially speaking. So if you stop watching RAW, guess what? You won't be alone. Hundreds of thousands of viewers are being lost weekly, according to the Nielsen ratings. While that measurement may be outdated, it doesn't change the fact that there are fewer television sets tuned in to RAW every Monday night than there used to be. While the ratings aren't indicative of the WWE's overall success in today's world, they do speak volumes as to what the audience thinks of the company's flagship show. For a long time now, the message has been clear: the show isn't good and it is getting worse. By jumping on the bandwagon and not watching RAW, you're helping to send that message. If this continues with any regularity, the USA Network will put some pressure on the WWE to change up their product as they have in years past.
