>Is Tony really that bad at booking?
I don't think ratings correlate so much with booking as they do with ingrained viewer habits, which is why the ratings haven't really changed much over the years, even wwe's decline over the past decade has been pretty slow, especially when you account for tv in general bleeding viewers and boomers dying, like one boomer with a nielsen box kicking the bucket = turboplummet. it's also why both feds do abysmally when they change time slot, day, or channel. the boomers watching wrestling on tv just want to turn off their brains and make two or three hours go by slightly less painfully as they inch ever closer to an eternity down there with eddie, so I doubt they care much about the booking. yes, tony is a terrible booker. there is an amazing roster somewhere in that clusterfuck of a locker room but it will never be utilized properly with him in charge. but, the ratings are what they are because the audience for wrestling in 2023 is tiny and wwe had a 40 year head start. wwe = wrestling in the same way that ufc = mma or op = faggot. the best booking on planet earth is still not going to put a five year old company over wwe and there may not even be any more fans left to win over. this might literally be it, not counting our indian frens
