    But @Koolo how do you think the demise of WWE would go then if you see it being gone in around 3 years?

    I could maybe see it happening at some point, but doubt it's that quickly. You gotta factor in how so many kids/families watch it regardless of the quality of it, so there will always be part of that audience there at least...could see a lot of the hardcore or long term adult fans leaving though.

    This is what I see most likely happening too

    And I mean yeah the product sucks rn but I mean if you go I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience. I mean the SD show I went to AJ got injured at TLC and couldn't even wrestle. I think the main event was Miz vs Dean for IC title pt 1000. With that being said i still had a really good time. I can't imagine how being front row would be.

    Then again $500 is a lot......

    @Koolo I think nowadays they look at network subscriptions as opposed to ppv sales.

    And I believe subscriptions are at an all-time low

    why would you watch? there is no reason to anymore no one has any character, they feel like a moving script

    even cool people like nakamura been awful since they moved to the main roster since its obvious he is now micro managed as opposed to nxt

    awful product

    They need to give the wrestlers more freedom again, don't make every promo scripted word for word. These guys(at least the good ones) usually have more personality and character to themselves than the writers can give them anyways.

    Didn't know network subscriptions were at an all time low, d--- that's crazy. I used to have it on and off, usually on but I haven't had it the past 2 months or so, certainly don't plan on renewing it anytime soon. But yeah I have been seeing stories seemingly every other week about raw's ratings being lows for the year or close to it.

    @Sign Language you said you were at a TLC match with AJ, was that last year's TLC PPV?

    If so, how was it overall for ya? Doubt I'll end up doing this, but not gonna totally rule it out yet..Feel like it'd be my only shot at front row of a PPV, so I dunno. still doubt it though. Card still looks fairly solid, or at least fun for a live show. Obviously one benefit is I'd get to see a TLC match, then also a ladders match, tables match..so some fun stuff.

    d---, Bliss was in a tables match last year? I don't remember that. Miz/Dolph ladder match sounds good too, main event sounds underwhelming(as you kinda referenced) but would probably still be a fun match especially since AJ in a TLC match is bound to be special.

    New Japan is easily the gold standard for wrestling now. Quality of matches, storylines and the fact basically all wrestlers heel or face or over with the crowd

    With New Japan branching into the US next weekend it's definitely interesting times ahead. If they could get a TV deal on a more popular network as opposed to AXS I could see it really taking off for them

    @Kon @Sign Language

    Ratings are abysmally low and product is very bad, but Vince is no dummy. Call it a premonition or business smarts but his ventures into other branding and mediums (like the network) is leading WWE to turning some of the biggest profits in company history.

    WWE may be faltering as far as quality, but it's not going anywhere anytime soon
