Ups & Downs From WWE RAW (Feb 8)

[@shellderwellder7944]

If I owned stock that would scare me.

[@Asmahdan]

@@shellderwellder7944 Normally I would agree, but here is why a stockholder is happy with WWE and Vince right now. Although ratings for WWE are down overall, they just had a record year for profits, that is No. 1. No. 2, WWE has managed to keep making profitable deals with Multiple Cable networks. No. 3 with the WWE Network going to (I believe an NBC owned) streaming service and not having the cost overhead of running a network anymore, their profits will stay level or even grow in 2021. If WWE writing was this bad during the early 2000's.. then Yes, i would be scared if I own stock, but right now... that stock is still looking pretty good.... sadly

WWE needs to cut RAW to 2 hours, streamline the good talent and dump the rest, get proper creative for the show, bring back the pyro and build the show around Orton, Drew, Lashly and AJ. That would be a good start.

[@deadersurvival4716]

You don't even have to do that. Just get Vince McMahon to leave WWE management and have someone who actually knows how to write stories in advance, not 30 seconds before the show.

[@MelodicQuest]

The ad money that they make is too good to cut down to 2 hours. There's enough talent on the roster to fill 3 hours, it's just that Vince needs to sign off on better storylines.
