>>14678619Ratings are completely fucking irrelevant. Only boomers watch TV. When will people get this through their fucking retarded skulls? RAW itself will soon leave standard TV and move to streaming. Everybody watches everything via streaming.
Look at just about everything else except for live sports - the ratings have plummeted over the last several years. The audiences for these shows have not disappeared; they've moved. They get streaming service subs and they watch these shows when they want without ads with the ability to pause, re-wind and re-watch, because that's far more convenient.
Wrestling has held up better than some things, probably because so much of wrestling's fanbase is backwards braindead hicks who think they need to program a computer to watch Netflix.
