It was on Saturday nights at midnight when I was a kid and my mom would get pissed I was watching it. When Dorgan was just a tyke they didn't have t.v to cover the gladiatorial games
it’s the product. Growing up durin the attitude era it was must see TV. Since they went PG there’s many kids who likely think it’s lame. They won’t ever go back but if they did I bet viewership would spike in certain age groups.
They'll always be family friendly and I just don't think you'll ever see what you saw in the late 90s and early 00s again. I don't blame them for that either to be honest. There's no reason to risk it with the amount of money they are currently making. I wouldn't either.

They could have their own off brand company on the network that could cater to a more adult company.
Also there is some talks that, WWE is reaching out to Indy companies to see if they would like broadcast their product on the network. Giving them opportunities that they otherwise would never have.
is so good right now .I really wish guys would not move up to the main roster as it seems some get lost in the shuffle .This weekend they used The Revival and Tyler Breeze on NXT houseshows .

there were articles out a while back saying the average age of WWE fans is trending way older than it used to. This is obviously anecdotal, but I don't know of a single wrestling fan among my kids' friends. They all know who John Cena is because he hosts the Kids Choice awards, but they're not watching Raw, they don't have subscriptions to the network, they don't have the toys, or wear the gear, etc. In my town, you're more likely to see a kid with a Messi jersey than anything wrestling related. Luckily for WWE, they've figured out how to monetize the fans they do have. Seems like a one hour show on the Disney Channel or Nick would do a lot towards getting young kids into it.
REPORT: NEW WWE SMACKDOWN DEAL WORTH ONE BILLION DOLLARS (NOT A TYPO)
By Mike Johnson on 2018-05-21 14:00:00
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the WWE's deal with FOX to bring Smackdown Live there starting October 2019 is a five year pact worth one billion (with a capital "B") dollars.
That would work out to $205 million per year and is thee times more than the company was getting for the series on the USA Network. USA Network will be retaining Monday Night Raw, according to reports.
The Wrap is reporting the Smackdown series will be moving to Fridays, which given the amount of money that is being thrown around, pretty much means the company is going live on Fridays.

They are also going to get a hell of lot more eyes on the product on Fox then having it on USA.

They sacrificed the quality of the product. It's been basically unwatchable for the last 15 years. Sure there have been some cool times (the CM Punk era, Rated R Superstar Edge, Nexus, Cena not being on TV), but it's been mostly uninspired, recycled shit.
When I was in jr high and high school in the 1960s professional wrestling (make believe wrestling) was on Sat night TV... but we stopped watching well before we graduated high school... are there people over 15 that are actually into this stuff?

get the fuck out of here. its fake? no fucking way...
no shit sherlock. you try to be a nice guy until the very end when you shit on it.
I take it by the responses, that you guys aren't 15.
I honestly don't understand. Do you still watch cartoons too?
you dont like it. we get it. stop shitting on other people cock
It has nothing to do with me "liking it"
I don't understand adults still watching the cartoons they watched when they were growing up. I honestly am interested in why an adult (some of you guys may even be married with kids?) watches professional wrestling ... or cartoons ... or the equivalent ... do you buy professional wrestling trading cards?
Sorry, I can't help the digs ... I mean, seriously, I'd be making fun of my son if he was watching this stuff after his 15th birthday... do you hide this from your family? close friends?
Saying wrestling is fake is a pointless argument Â
Due to the scripted nature of the program. Film and television are not ad-libbed improv. They're scripted too. And yet you go into that knowing it, and without a second thought. I think it's safe to say everyone here knows the programs are scripted. So using that as a basis to argue against wrestling is a poor argument.

What the f*ck is the point?
This isn't Lassie... it isn't a story... this is supposedly a "sport" ...
And it's designed for kids, just like Sponge Bob. I mean, I have to assume you do NOT let your bosses know you follow this stuff. It would be a career killer in any large organization.

Seriously, do you hide this from your work colleagues? Do you watch WWE with others? Have you actually gone to a live event?
I'm being serious. I loved Gilligan's Island as a kid. I tried to watch an episode a little while ago, and couldn't watch. I'm not totally positive, but I think I know why it couldn't hold my interest. I'm fairly confident WWE would be the same thing. Why doesn't that happen to you? What holds you to WWE?

I'll answer your question with a question. What is the difference between WWE and superhero movies?
They're essentially the same thing. Conflict between two entities. Each have their own super powers (or special moves in WWE case). The difference is one is told live through performance art.

You're a moron.
Instead of calling me names, how about trying to explain the attraction of WWE to you. Maybe you're 15 or under and, if so, I get it. Maybe if you are single... ? But if you are married, with a full time job and family to support, what is the attraction then to WWE? Is this something you see yourself watching forever, no matter how old you get? Do you watch with others?

i like the show. Its fun at times and other times i just want to see the story unfold. I know its fake but so is the Punisher and most tv.
When I was young, you'd watch WWF at noon on the weekends.
They should, IMO, put smackdown on Saturday mornings on Fox. Not gonna happen but would be smart long term thinking

Starts at 8pm. Kids stay up later now from what I’ve seen, so it isn’t terribly late.
When I was young, you'd watch WWF at noon on the weekends.
WWE reaches all ages. And with DVR, recording it is much easier.
And do what? He'd die if he didnt have WWE. It's in his blood.
Thats because Cena hasnt been featured ;)
The product will get better when HHH gets control of creative. NXT is all him, and the product is 20 times better.

Vince should just cash out now - they will never be richer.

though the storylines on Smackdown are way better than Raw.
not to mention, Roman Reigns just sucks. Even cena is better than Roman

if its on the FOX network and not FX.
The Raw and Smackdown being back to back is brutal. I barely watch 1 hour of Raw, and just maybe check a minute of Smackdown from time to time.
The few days off break will definitely be better for the Smackdown brand.
They sacrificed the quality of the product. It's been basically unwatchable for the last 15 years. Sure there have been some cool times (the CM Punk era, Rated R Superstar Edge, Nexus, Cena not being on TV), but it's been mostly uninspired, recycled shit.

And it's designed for kids, just like Sponge Bob. I mean, I have to assume you do NOT let your bosses know you follow this stuff. It would be a career killer in any large organization.
GO AWAY. STOP BEING A TROLL.
Seriously, do you hide this from your work colleagues? Do you watch WWE with others? Have you actually gone to a live event?
I'm being serious. I loved Gilligan's Island as a kid. I tried to watch an episode a little while ago, and couldn't watch. I'm not totally positive, but I think I know why it couldn't hold my interest. I'm fairly confident WWE would be the same thing. Why doesn't that happen to you? What holds you to WWE?
i like the show. Its fun at times and other times i just want to see the story unfold. I know its fake but so is the Punisher and most tv.
and whats your point now?
