This killed WWE. How do you go from Jerry Springer esque TV-MA to PG and not expect to lose the majority of your fans.

>killed WWE
>gave them record profits
Obese smelly smark thread
Parker Myers
They have 10% of the profits they could have had.
Wyatt Cooper
smackdown was always pg. wrestling was dying and completely out of the mainstream long before raw went to pg. going pg didnt make the writing quality any less shit
Henry Hall
Based
Cringe
Hudson Hill
WWE was never TV-MA.
Jason Evans

By having strong writing and pushing someone the fans want to see on top.
Aiden Moore
they were able to get far better quality sponsorship opportunities after they went to pg. things like the scooby doo crossovers never existed during the 2000s. all they could get was castrol gtx sponsorships. it was pretty dead in that regard
Jacob Ward
Pg can still be edgy. Wcw was always pg too. What WWE became in 2008 was G rated almost
Camden White
>draws 33million viewers for a show rated PG.
Aaron Anderson
The true tale to learn from this is never make your audience dissentful people. They will either grow up into functioning slaves or leave your product when it becomes too lame or too “mainstream”
This is why publicly traded companies choose to make their messages and stories palatable, it appeals to a bigger audience and people don’t have to think or rage against the machine. It’s also partially why media is so shit nowadays and has been shit for a long time; everything is so politically charged.

>By having strong writing and pushing someone the fans want to see on top.
Yeah but that's exactly what didn't happen.
Luis Hughes
PG isn't for kids its for adults and kids if supervised by an adult. WWE sucks because that's how Vince wants it to be.
Matthew Morris
I agree with you on this
Joseph Morales
WE WANT RUSSO
Ian Edwards
I don't see this changing much. The primary demographic has not been kids since 2015, and they aren't going to push the envelope as most protentional sponsors cater to people that use twitter.
Ryder Sullivan
Yea no shit. This and RAW being 3 hours are the most egregious offenders.
Brandon Perez
And yet their events were always sell outs and didn't have to be full of tarps
Grayson Edwards
record profits are relative to year over year...
%profits are a different story
David Lewis
I've been watching old RAW, and 1.5 hour shows are so much better paced and make the 3 hour PPVs they had so much more special
Cameron Gonzalez
NFL isn't even rated and draws Milly mills, several times on Sunday in fact.
Aaron Richardson
they've grossed record profits you retarded tranny
Jackson Harris
GOAT.
Aaron Nelson
Yep. And look at the amazing stuff we got in 97 and early 98 when it was still all PG.
Christian Hernandez
>yfw it was never the tv ratings
in the past they were able to be at least somewhat culturally relevant and resonate with the average person, at least in the 80s and 90s. they haven't been able to do that for at least 20 years, and now that they may try, they have zoom zoom culture and Bidenflation to work with, so it's going to suck shit no matter what they do.
Aiden Thompson
you fuckin brain dead twat, how the fuck are you going to compare a relative year over year profit increase to the massive percentage gains of the late 90s to now.
learn to read, brother - HH
Grayson Edwards
the record is in GROSS PROFIT DOLLARS, you brainlet.
Joseph Diaz
Bentley Hall
because of two deals vince made you retard, he would have been able to do that either way
Aaron Thomas
>This killed WWE. How do you go from Jerry Springer esque TV-MA to PG and not expect to lose the majority of your fans.
Ask him. This fucking dick ruined it for all of us.
Landon Powell
>they only made more money because of smart business transactions
holy cope lmao
Dominic Lewis
don't bring benoit into this, he didn't do nuffin
Carter Barnes
Wrong. WWE went full pussy in late 2008, when Linda ran for office
