WWEs recent earnings report left a lot to be positive about. This weeks Raw ratings left a lot to be worried about. Last year at this time, Raw drew a 3.02 rating. This year they did a 2.55. Thats the lowest non-holiday rating theyve done in two-and-a-half years. It was a pretty good show overall, but with no Daniel Bryan, the overexposure of The B-team Authority players, a sad Divas and tag division and a constant barrage of mediocre three hour episodes, this should be a wake up call for major changes. Will it be? Perhaps a Cena heel turn to shake things up, or getting rid of the first hour of the show to give fans a break. Maybe the Divas will finally be given a chance and not treated as simply eye candy? Nah, the solution to this problem in management's eyes is clearly giving us more Stephanie McMahon and Hunter. Lots and lots of Steph and HHH. What is a wrestling show without two self absorbed non-wrestlers cast in a starring role anyway? Their return should at least bring us back into the 2.56 range. Time to kick out. That's all for this week. Agree? Disagree? What was your worst wrestling moment of the week. Sound off below and thanks for reading!
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
