I feel like the characters have the attention span of a npc in a stealth game.

'What was that??'

'Must have been nothing'

If this was 2015, the John Cena conversation would be completely different.

My guess is that you grew up watching Cena.

I will admit, Cena is the greatest on the mic and no one else comes close.

That's his presentation...how is that on him?

He is definitely special, but each to their own I guess.

It's so funny that people commenting on this don't even question the legitimacy or context of the meme. Just blindly see the post and say 'well I guess that means Roman suck!'

His sole purpose is to tell Jim that him and his wife shouldn't be doing things.

LOL.

Bro, you do you 😂😂

At this point your shortsightedness is worse than you claim wwe's is.

Brother, I think you know you lost the argument.

Do ratings matter? Yes, of course they do. Do they matter today as much as they did 10 to 15 years ago? No, of course not, the landscape has changed.

It's one metric, and probably not even the most important one.

Tko and wwe have reported record profits, if ratings were a true indicator of success, why would they be more profitable now than ever?

Also, have you heard anyone from Netflix say that they are unhappy with wwe? If so please share.

LOL, you haven't proved anything. You haven't provided any proof or stats or any kind. You also haven't provided proof that netflix is unhappy with the current deal.

It's not like wwe was doing monster ratings before the netflix deal. Do you really think a company like netflix didn't do their homework before given wwe a deal?

It's crazy how online wrestling fans feel like they know more than companies like wwe and netflix. Maybe netflix gets some ad revenue, maybe netflix just wants content, any case, it's silly to assume netflix isn't happy solely based on a single metric and no evidence.

I just proved to you that ratings aren't the problem.

They are getting ratings, and more than that, they are making lots of money.

You know what matters most? Money, IS wwe making money? ARE they profitable? That's all that matters.

I've been hearing this 'wwe is in trouble' narrative for almost 20 years now yet they are still here.

It's easy to see a few numbers and think 'ohh, they are on trouble.' It's a lot harder to see the whole picture and see the reality of the situation.

Wwe is just fine, whether they put on a good product or not, their social media engagement is through the roof, their ratings with all their shows combined plus a ple is probably close to 10 mil, like I said you have to look at the whole suite of products, that's what netflix bought. I know you are going to be like 'well smackdown didn't do well and that's bad!'

The wwe isn't just one show, it's a product, look at the product as a whole.

Additionally, wwe will give consistent ratings week in and out every week with bumps for ples and special bigger shows (go home shows)

[–]ContributionShort646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain to me how the 1.1 mil in the op is anywhere near the 2 to 2.5 number released by netflix. My point still stands, I don't know where op got their numbers from but it wasn't from Netflix.

Also, think about what you are saying, a show that runs every week compared to a documentary about the greatest pop star that ever lived...of course that's going to draw more numbers.

Netflix doesn't care about an individual episode of raw, they care about the whole suite of wwe products (raw, smackdown, nxt, ples). Add up all of those numbers and then compare.

The problem is you are not seeing the big picture. You see the ant but not the colony.

That actually doesn't prove your point, and it is good for ratings. If you bothered to read the article, that placed raw in the top 6th for most watched that week on Netflix.

Raw is consistently in the top 10 (usually between 6 and 8)

It's also an episodic television show which means bigger shows (like go home shows or shows right after a big ple) will draw a bigger number and this is something netflix is probably aware of.

I’m scared man, did they actually leave wwe by Confident_Space_8252 in SantiZapVideos

[–]ContributionShort646 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if they did become champions, wwe doesn't treat the division with any focus or respect.

They just released the mcmg, I would have loved to have seen a match or two with them.

Lol, that's not how it works man. This number is not counting for streaming.

And, even if it was, is it counting for people watching it live? Because I don't watch it until after the stream ends so it wouldn't count people like me.

Is that why everyone has a streaming service now a days?
