No need for pandering. Raw got less ratings last night than last week.
I can tell you 100% that if Smackdown starts tonight and John Cena/Roman Reigns/Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins are drafted within the first 20 minutes of the show, the casual audience will change the channel cause those are the stars of the show. Once they're on that's it. It's like the McMahons or the Undertaker or when Rock comes back. Once those 15 minutes are over, that's it, you've seen them, you wont see them again that night.
And no most of the roster doesn't look like wrestlers. They look like regular people. That's why ratings are so low and live attendances are so low. People in their millions aren't gonna sit and watch regular people on TV pretend to fight nor are millions gonna pay to sit and watch it.
I'd pay money to see Jack Nicholson in another movie.
I'll go see Star Trek on Friday.
I'll pay money to watch STARS. People that LOOK and ACT like STARS. Not regular people.
