Hey guys, listen to this:
Last night's edition of Raw did a 3.03 cable rating for Vince McMahon's million dollar giveaway. That is actually down from last week's 3.06 (which rounded up to a 3.1). The show did hours of 2.97 and 3.09. I think it's fair to say that WWE hoped for more of an audience than this for a million bucks.

Well folks, I guess that WWE's attempt to be more family friendly like WCW was back then w/their own TV-PG V Rating didn't do them any good.
I mean hey, don't get me wrong, I applaud them for not showing sex and using profanity, but for them not to show blood, I don't think that's going to work.
Oh, and in case if you haven't heard:
WWE wanted them not to show blood so that they can draw children and families to watch WWE programming.

Vince tried the family friendly stuff but its not working.I get embarassed about being a Wrestling fan these days.It used to be cool but now its a joke.Vince needs to go back to that stuff that made the attitude era and made WWE so much money and fame.Im even considering that by the end of this year if the product does not change i will not even watch Wrestling anymore.After being a fan for 11 years.Last Nights Million dollar crap is a joke.That was humiliating IMO.C'mon Vince do you have to pay people to watch the horrible product?Paying people 1 million dollars could not even get people to watch,fans realize this now.
Hey Vince were tired of HHH/Cena....put them in the mid card and put Y2J/Umaga/Jeff Hardy in the Main events for a few months.I guarntee Jeff HaRdy will put butts in the seat...Lets face it HHH can not draw anymore.He is boring and generic and were tired of Cena/HHH!
The only thing good last nite was Y2J destroying HBK!

Bruno Sammartino has mentioned it many times about the WWE.
He was @ an Indy Show and he said that he would not take his Grandchildren to a WWE Live Event b/c of all of the profanity and the sex.
and guess what?
The same thing can be said about Former WWE Diva and Current Indy Wrestler Ivory
She said that she would not take her nieces and nephews to a WWE Live Event either b/c of the sex and women being forced to do Bra & Panties Matches.
and plus, she said that she only watches the WWE to see Victoria.
and of course, she is still close friends w/Victoria and RAW Ring Announcer Lilian Garcia.

Hi Bubba here, seem like nothing they do seems to help in the ratings.

I think alot of people just miss The Rock and Stone Cold and the OLD Kane and UnderTaker.
There are some superstars who i think can lead WWE in the next generation(John Morrison,Randy Orton,MVP,The Miz,Mr. Kennedy,Umaga just to name a few)but WWE does not focus on pushing them and Improving them.
