And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
i dont think they understand what Unsecured Credit is.

this glorious monument

I always ask this question but have to ask it again? Why would Vince even bother caring about the ratings. He can probably spend 3 hours making GBS threads into a box still pull ratings higher than AEW's and he'll likely be either dead or senile (sure his mother is apparently immortal but his mother probably hasn't gone as hard on life as Vince has). Come 2024 can't he just say 'Hey USA, where's our dumptruck of money? You'll take our .9 and you'll like it!" as investors continue to launch money out of a canon at his stock?

I know I keep bringing this up but FUCKDAMMIT I need to see this evil, malignant stain on the universe suffer consequences for it's malevolence and incompetence.

They've now had a Raw that did an hour worse than Dynamite's debut, and it's not out of the question they'll have a whole Raw that does that bad before NFL comes back (if NFL comes back this year [it's a loving plague, NFL should absolutely not come back this year])

They can say all they want publicly or leaked about how they don't care about the ratings going low, but you don't pull panic moves like this at random or this frequently if everything is going according to your plan and you're calm about it

hell part of the reason they made such huge profit was because they stopped running house shows, and they only stopped those because of the pandemic

they had been running them at a loss because Vince refused to just let them die

Vince believes in the old ways, and the old ways include The Ratings

Yeah and like without even looking it up, I know that Nitro's rating streak was 83 weeks, because WWE has belabored the point in every historical video piece they can. WWE as a company is an underdog hero because of the ratings giant they have slain... they believe ratings matter and they've driven it into the viewers' minds for a while now!

Sadly a toxx is a toxx, so you'd need to eat a ban and reregister if you wanted to watch WWE again (don't give money to the site while Lowtax still owns it please).

That said, if this idea DOES go through, it's just as likely that WWE dies anyway making the whole point moot.

While this is true, all bets are off once the sale goes through and that would include any toxxes broken before then.

Who the gently caress besides Riddle can even fight in real life? Punk is going to come back to still lose in the first round to a guy who has never fought or trained to fight before maybe.

WWE is mostly gamers who spend a lot of time in the gym, no one wants to watch nerds fight for real this is so bad I really just don't believe it's happening, if i'm wrong then so be it but I can't fathom this being a real thing and twitter is wrong about poo poo all the time.

House shows have only run at a loss for a few quarters and they drastically cut back on them once they did.

And it is almost stupider that they started to abandon the concept instead of trying to book things people wanted to see.
