That's the hardcore. But the casuals have been gradually switching off for years so obviously something isn't right.
Times are changing.

We are in a golden age of home entertainment (and entertainment outside of our homes), Wrestling has been on the TV consistently for how many decades now? Week in week out every week every month every year.

Also the business of wrestling itself is changing what was important a few years ago is less important today

Yes many mistakes have been made but even if they did not make 50% of them the state of tie business would unlikely be that much different.

People would still find something to complain about as that is today's culture

That doesn't respond to the issue of declining viewership in any way

Ziggler heel turn.

Think they had to really he went as far as he could as a face plus his gimmick fits heel better.

"We beat RAW in the ratings for the frist time ever because of AJ Styles and John Cena"

Wonder if Renee will come out and attack Maryse which may cost Miz the match

Second week running I've been genuinely suprised by a title change

Suspect Miz will regain it fairly quickly.

If not for Braun vs Sami, it would be another runaway win for Smackdown this week imo

"Viewership" would be down no matter what they did. Traditional viewership is becoming less and less relevant, yes it's partly due to the product but mainly due to other things as well. They could have a product as good as anything we have seen in wrestling and it still would likely be going down.

Yes the product has many problems but they being magnified by changes in entertainment industry and over exposure
