WWE Raw 2:15 says it’s Time to Change
Honestly, its quite sad in 2015 that I am going onto the WWE Network and instead of Watching Raw from a few weeks ago or a Raw from this year, I am going back and watching 1995,1996,1997,1998 Raw Episodes. I'm watching episodes and matches that I have seen a lot before why am I watching it you say?
Because it’s more compelling than what I see on a
Monday Night in 2015
WWE
over the past couple of years has been having something of a struggle the
struggle seems to be Character Development, quality television, story and
execution.
Unfortunately
this isn’t just my opinion but the opinion also of a dwindling fan base that’s wants
to be entertained and needs to have something to get excited about and enjoy.
Looking
back over the past few years its been hard for WWE, They have lost a number of
big time, experienced Main event players on a full time basis or altogether
ranging from Triple H The Rock, Brock Lesnar, Shawn Michaels,Undertaker, Batista
and Chris Jericho to name just a few.
The
loss of this experienced talent affected WWE, its hard for WWE to replace that
talent with what they have coming through. WWE have tried but no one apart from
John Cena Right now in WWE is a Top Main Event Player on Main Full time roster.
Brock Lesnar, Sting and the Rock when they come back add a level of excitement
but fans know this will only be for a short blast of time.

WWE
Have been unlucky with Injuries With Randy Orton and Seth Rollins getting
Injuries, Plus Daniel Bryan with a long term injury it has hurt the Main event Level
in WWE in 2015
Sheamus is WWE champion out of necessity, fans don’t like Roman Reigns and Sheamus has the briefcase so it made sense but again Fans aren’t accepting him as a viable champion.
Sheamus has been treated so poorly since winning Money in The Bank. If a guy isn’t
connecting with the audience, isn’t winning a lot of matches, suddenly cashes
in and Wins Does that make him mean more? No it doesn’t, you cant erase the
last few months of fans memories which is why WWE had to put a group around him
to make with feel relevant.
Lets
take Wade Barrett as another example I’m British I like Wade Barrett but Wade
has no meaning in WWE, he’s just become a guy that goes out there and loses
every match, he became King of The Ring but that doesn’t mean a thing because
WWE didn’t make it mean anything. If WWE don’t believe in it, Don’t Care about
and don’t make a big deal out of it again why should fans care? Perception is reality
and WWE creative need to remember that.
WWE
fans aren’t asking for anything out there they are simply asking for people
they can get behind. Unfortunately the fans have grown tired of getting behind
a guy only to see him Leave, Not be used properly, or WWE not to use them to their
fullest potential.
See
and Look at guys Like Daniel Bryan (injured/Not what WWE wanted), CM Punk (left
creatively Frustrated) Zack Ryder (Pushed into Irrelevancy after making himself
a star) Bray Wyatt (loses every big match, No Mystic Left) All people that fans
have got behind in the last few years only for WWE not to continue with the momentum
and stop it dead why because it wasn’t the way they wanted it to go.

After
all that fans grow tired and they say “fine WWE you win” I won’t cheer for who I
like because you don’t care about the people I like, therefore there is no
point tuning in and watching a show, because what I want to see and enjoy wont
be what I'm getting. Then fans lose interest in coming to live events attendances
dwindle and once you’ve lost fans it can be very hard to win them back you lose
them and the money they bring to the company too.
A
lot of people wont like to admit this John Cena is a factor here too, Since Cena
has been off TV there has been a bigger decline in Rating, Some love Cena some Don’t
but I honestly think he has been missed and him not being there is showing huge
holes in WWE, some of you don’t like Cena but you must admit the shows with him
are much better than the shows without him. At Least with Cena he gives you’re
a reason to Cheer and a Reason to Boo.
I’v
said It before and I’ll say it again unless it’s a sporting event nothing is
holding fans attention for 3 hours. Please WWE stop the product suffering and go
back to 2 hours of quality television instead of 3 hours of drivel that no one
has any investment in. Bring back people fans care about Maybe Steve Austin (if
he can be convinced) or Kurt angle, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, CM Punk (in the future
if ever) Treat the young stars that are there Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Neville,
Kevin Owens, Tyler Breeze like they mean something if you start giving fans what they want to see
and people they want to see and care about, in compelling, exciting story lines you
can bring Raw back to what it used to be
Something
fans want to See
Thanks
