people go to Wrestlemania for the spectacle, do you really think they're going to start booing because a match between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar doesn't have Okada/Omega levels of Workrate two minutes in

DoctorGonzo posted:Wrestlemania XX says hi. Both of them were leaving the company, which is why people started booing, and then they proceeded to not give a poo poo because they were mad about the fans. It was not because of "Not Enough Stars". People have been predicting disaster and making GBS threads on the Brock/Goldberg program for week after week, even after it's repeatedly been the most consistently well booked program WWE has had for months.

Literally the first chant was "you sold out" and both wrestlers were visibly pissed. They would hardly be the first wrestlers ever to not give a poo poo when getting a bad crowd response.

also those low odds on Charlotte usually mean a gently caress finish, so I think Bayley retains in an interference DQ

has BRAUN ever not been a heavy favorite, everyone seemed to know that the plan was Braun/Lesnar at SummerSlam which would make him losing moronic

I can't think of anyone in WWE booked better than Brock since at least the start of the Goldberg feud. The only real candidate is Braun.

like Dave said, it's not like there's a Daniel Bryan in the roster getting massive reactions and not getting pushed. Both Seth and Finn clearly are getting pushed but they aren't setting the crowd on fire. Ditto Joe and Sami. Dave had a funny comment about the last PPV, where the fan reactions leaving the arena were pretty much evenly split between "Holy poo poo that Bray/Orton match sucked" and "holy poo poo that Roman/Braun match was awesome"

for the ratings drops talk btw, dave metnioned that investors seem very confident in a significant boost in the TV deal fees because live sports programming is becoming more and more valuable, even despite WWE's downward trend, though he did mention that ESPN's cutbacks are likely to hurt both them and UFC, since it takes a big potential bidder out of the game. Mentioned that he expected a smaller boost in the rights fees than investors were expecting, but nothing about it going down.

dave mentioned Fox Sports 1 as a possibility because they want more programming and have jack poo poo on Monday and Tuesday nights but IDK how serious that is

there's also something to be said for WWE doing what it does well, and as it turns out, having a big babyface wrestler face a giant monster heel in the main event gets big reactions. It's something the company likes going back to because it has historically worked. It's hilarious that it's been so many decades and that poo poo still gets big reactions. I guess it helps that Braun right now is at least as good of a big monster heel as Yokozuna, he's sure as hell better than mid-80s Immobile Andre.

the thing is that USA basically has nothing else, the days of them having lots of hit comedy-dramas are over and even a declining WWE is still probably their best performing show. it'd be the same deal with FS1, getting WWE on monday and tuesday nights would kill anything they have there currently except for MLB playoffs.

Djarum posted:
someone posted it earlier, but Brandon Howard, despite being one of the driest, most boring writers in the universe is probably the best WWE TV numbers guy, and he's consistently pointed out that other measures of popularity, like merch sales and live event sales have at least stayed stable, suggesting that the drop-off in ratings is most likely due to wider trends WWE doesn't have anything to do with. (house show numbers are down, which is most likely due to the lack of any replacement for Cena, but live event revenue is up, and overall attendance numbers (including televised events) are even)

it's also arguable that TV ratings are going down so badly across the board that the small amount of programming that does stay relatively level becomes even more and more valuable (which seems to be what the investors think, though as Dave has pointed out repeatedly, WWE investors are extremely stupid), but that's probably a question best left for TV executives
