Don't think they haven't thought of that.

I hate that they've started making many music festivals 2 weekends instead of 1.

I love that Roman couldn't resist hitting Seth with the chair instead of Cody.

Because Tony Khan doesn't know what he's doing.

Combination of things. The punk stuff, WWE getting super hot, the horrible stretch of shows in the last quarter of 2023 catching up to them, the fact that they are doing 5 hours a week now instead of 2, a consistent inability to follow up on angles and storylines week to week…

The lack of writing or characters kills it for me. They'd rather have twenty minute matches for hardcore marks. Just not my thing.

This is the big limiting factor. They really need to find a way to appeal to casual fans.

Do they? If WBD is happy with the rating they are getting, why do they need to? Their attempt to appeal to the casual fan in the fall of last year was an unmitigated disaster that their ratings and attendance haven’t recovered from yet. If gearing the show towards a hardcore audience(that isn’t served elsewhere in the market) is enough to get them an 8 figure extension from WBD(all reports indicate it is) then that’s more than good enough.

WWE is super hot right now, trying to be wwe lite is a fools errand IMO, fans that want that will watch the genuine article, they need to be an alternative.

Who had the bigger career? Edge and Christian or The Hardys?
