Recently it's been said that Vince McMahon is blaming John Cena for the lack in ratings as of late.. the real reason is indeed.. VINCE MCMAHON! It's been said for YEARS and with social media and the internet in general, it's not rocket science to see what ex superstars like C.M. Punk has said about the company to be true. That being again, Vincent Kennedy McMahon and his terrible booking/judgment of what makes good TV is killing a great promotion full of SO MUCH great talent.
Edit: TBH it's held on long since the days of the Monday night wars because tbh again, they literally MONOPOLIZED the entire mainstream wrestling market, AEW has blew the roof off the mediocrity diehard fans have been subjected to since after the glory days of WWE (Attitude Era) and there's your reason WWE has been seeing such rapid drops in ratings.
In conclusion.. alot of us want to see the company keep it's mark.. Vince you gotta let it go, you've had a great run and your a legend, but give it up to your kids and please for the love of God give creative control to Triple H
