Maybe they got tired of a certain person being shoved down their throat And they didn't want to see that person win as much. Maybe they got tired of WWE Management and you know the creative not listening to what who they want to see win who they want to see have a title Opportunity it can be a plethora of different reasons But we all know someone that used to watch wrestling on a regular basis And it just they had got to the point where they stopped so we're gonna check out some of the reasons why people may have stopped Watching and let's see if we can agree with What's this guy name his channel name is wrestle wrestle What's that wrestle meal wrestle me or something like that?

So see if we agree with what he's saying appreciate all the love and support roll to 40k Let's see what he's talking about Something missing Something very important that would be all of you our fans the WWE universe Wrestling seems to be enjoying a comeback with weekly wrestling shows airing Monday through Friday ranging from big promotions like AEW and WWE to smaller promotions such as Impact Wrestling at Ring of Honor and MLW So why are fans tuning out at the WWE? What's creating this steady decline in World Wrestling entertainment or join us now as WrestleMania looks at 11 reasons why fans Turning off I really want to know how you pronounce his name. Am I can I not read? I don't know What did he say? Am I slow wrestle wrestle Bro that bro. Am I slow y'all? I'm wrestle meat it I Okay, I guess I wouldn't see in the L. It's wrestle lame. I said wrestle me It's wrestle lame. Yeah, I can't read. I can't see I mean, I'm getting old, bro Check this out. I'm sorry y'all Why fans are turning off the WWE? Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive lists We used to see things eye-to-eye and then somewhere along the way it all went wrong and I'm trying to figure out why Number one a worthless women's division the WWE can boast about its women's revolution And how the company has come a long way from the Divas era and while the days of playboy pillow fights and Matches seem to be over the WWE continues to treat its female athletes as an afterthought Whether it's female performers disappearing for weeks at a time the WWE randomly pairing women into tank teams Definitely, we do know the WWE does this with its men That doesn't count as treating the men and women equally or a lack of building new stars The women's division is pretty awful other than Bailey It's difficult to think of any female performer who has been booked Well Raw's women's division went into cruise control once Becky Lynch took time off from maternity leave Despite the presence of Shayna Baszler Oscar and the opportunity to call up NXT standouts such as Rhea Ripley Just remember the time that Shayna plowed through about five women in the elimination chamber match. What happened to that? How did you I don't know what happened to that? I I don't know She was literally one of the hottest things coming out of NXT Very dominant in NXT. You knew she was going to the main roster to really like To really shake up the women's division and they didn't really take the opportunity to go with her They they her momentum was so hot Becky Lynch You know her momentum was starting to die down a little bit and I honestly think Shayna Baszler should have been the champion. She should have won the women's Raw championship But they never went with her and then they just put her in a meaningless tag team Feud I was just like bro. She's she's worth more than just tag titles. She's a main eventer You just have to let her do her thing, but WWE not carry on that dominance Well, no matter how much Stephanie McMahon brags that the WWE pushes its female wrestlers as much as the males The weekly product says otherwise And Shayna Baszler No throwing Sasha Banks versus Bella into the main event on night when a WrestleMania doesn't make up for a year of badly booking into women True number two endless rematches. Did you miss that pay-per-view match between two week of favorite wrestlers? Well chances are you don't have to worry because the WWE will air at the next day on Raw or a few days later on Smackdown That's only the beginning though as the WWE repeats the same about a few more times before airing it again on pay-per-view The WWE's recycling program is a testament to the sheer laziness found in WWE creative Rematches can be exciting when done properly whether it's adding a stipulation to a subsequent match or bringing in a tag Partner to help out in a singles feud However, several weeks of the same wrestlers competing with the same results is a formula for failure when it comes to wooing fans Number three breaking up good. It gets it gets redundant when you when you're constantly Having the same match before the pay-per-view Facing, you know, like say you have someone Facing someone before the pay-per-view then you have someone those two exact same people facing each other again During the pay-per-view then you have those two exact same people facing each other again after the pay-per-view and then you may have one more Like opportunity for them to face each other again the next week on raw it gets boring Who wants to see the same match over and over and over and over and over again? I know I don't Division has been poorly booked for some time I remember that there's been such an explosion of teams splitting up a breaking up tank teams is a time on a Traditional and professional wrestling has has been used to effectively set up big feuds with the intent of creating one or two Single stars from that team when done, right a tag team split and create some riveting dramas fans watch friends turn into bows On the problem like many WWE storylines as a lack of planning and follow-up There have been numerous instances of badly booked breakups including the iconics and heavy machinery in the iconics's case The WWE reportedly wanted to push Peyton Royce as a single star that never happened Instead she was inexplicably paired with Lacey Evans Why would you split up an established tag team that could help the women's tag team division only to form an inferior team? Even worse the Royce's Evans tag team quickly became overshadowed by Evans's feud with Charlotte Flair as for heavy machinery The WWE had a popular team that provided a mix of power wrestling and comedy Yeah, they had something when Tucker turned heel. Yeah, that made no sense They never went anywhere with this They made no sense While it's questionable how much interest the fans would have had watching the two men fight They never gave them a chance as yeah, I was drafted to raw Ignoring fan favorites now. We've talked about the WWE splitting up popular teams The problem goes deeper than that the WWE's refusal to push wrestlers that fans get behind whether their faces or heels has Never been more apparent than with the situation involving the hurt business While MVP's work with Bobby Lashley helped Lashley complete his journey from poorly pushed uppercard wrestler to a monster main eventer It's doubtful many fans saw Cedric Alexander and veteran Shelton Benjamin getting strong thanks to their inclusion in the hurt business Naturally the WWE split the group up just when they were going over strong The hurt business is the biggest example of popular wrestlers who've been thrown on the scrap heap There are others including main event to Braun Strowman and undercard stars such as ricochet ricochet man if that ain't the truth ricochet is the epitome of The fans wanting this guy to get a legitimate run at a maybe a mid card championship just to be Mid card fodder, bro. He is literally a Jobber at best bro. That's his best qualities is jobbing out Dude is so athletic all he does his job to other wrestlers, bro. It's it's sad He is falling so far from NXT. Yeah, and I'm also a little stuffy right now. So just bear with me J Alistair Black King Corbin Chad Gable and Shinsuke Nakamura number five Pathetic payoffs we've all heard the phrase It's not so much about the destination as it is about the journey and in some respects This applies to storytelling However, no matter how good the build up for a story is fans expect a substantial payoff when it comes time to Executing a feud or ending one let's look at the two examples of the biggest potential money feuds that had terrible payoffs The first is the heavily featured feud between the golden role models team of Bayley and Sasha Banks The two gelled well as two arrogant heels that fans knew were gonna eventually end up fighting While they were forced to drag this feud out longer than anyone wanted Rumor has it that we're hoping to have fans at 2020 SummerSlam and when they didn't happen that Yeah, big facts man That feud had so much potential, but I felt like it kind of got rushed man in my opinion I think it kind of got rushed Well, that's excusable the WWE painted themselves into a corner when they finally had Bayley turn on Sasha Banks Putting the two in a Hell in a Cell match for their first match as fans know Hell in a Cell is usually where feuds end So when Banks beat Bayley, there was no way for the feud to go. Yep. This is true And this is why I don't like Hell in a Cell as a pay-per-view I don't know if you guys agree with me, but I think it should not be a pay-per-view event I think Hell in a Cell is a match that you don't get much But when you do get it you get excited because you know a feud is going to end in this match Someone's gonna get hurt They have it now every year. It is lost. It's a luster, bro So when they did put them in a Hell in a Cell match, you kind of It's a feud ending match. Why would you start off their feud with a feud ending match? It was a fantastic match. I enjoyed it But it didn't leave room for anything else other than the feud to end like she beat you in a Hell in a Cell What is what else is there to really say after that? You know what I'm saying? I don't know They took the cheap way out by Bailey saying she'd fight banks again But only when she was ready and on her terms the next fizzle feud was the fiend versus Randy Orton Despite the fiend's painful loss to Goldberg at 2020 Super Showdown For a while its demonic doppelganger had been booked strongly So the WWE cleverly booked the two in a firefly and phono match Thus giving Orton a way to beat the fiend without penning him for making him submit Afterwards the WWE teased the fiend's return and managed to keep fans guessing when he'd return for revenge Incredibly they didn't have the fiend return until fast lane setting up a high profile match for WrestleMania 37 Unfortunately the match as it was anti-climactic as it could be with bliss turning heel on the fiend and Orton pinning the fiend clean In just five minutes not to mention with just one RKO Fans are still wondering what happened at WrestleMania to cause the fiend to lose Did Alexa Bliss find a way to rob the fiend of his powers? Did he have somewhere he needed to be in ten minutes? What kind of payoffs to promising programs or another way to look at my guy right here This was my expression when that match went off like what the All this build up from months Do get set on fire Comes back from the depths of hail All the shenanigans with Alexa Bliss for months causing Randy Orton to cough up blood Just for the fiend to have a nice entrance pop out the little jack-in-the-box and then lose to one RKO For an alienate your audience number six poor planning The WWE's writers have a number of problems ranging from laziness to having to deal with Mr. McMahon's Mercurial mind that sees him change things with no apparent rhyme or reason Even the best of ideas tend to run into obstacles when it comes to creating their executing long-term story lines An essential element of keeping fans tuned in every week one of the biggest examples of WWE's poor planning is Otis's Unlikely and downright shocking Case when at 2020 the angle while surprising was a good direction for Otis a character Who'd gotten over thanks to a storyline romance with Mandy Rose? However as the months went on it became clear They had no idea what to do with Otis having the briefcase in his possession and they ran an overbooked angle where the Miz won the briefcase thanks to a meaningless heel turn by Otis's partner Tucker Thankfully they did get some mileage out of the Miz winning the briefcase But Otis winning it was poorly thought out and the feeble follow-up damaged his character as well as the fans already shaky faith in the WWE's capability at crafting long-term story lines number seven boring feuds We've already looked at the WWE's difficulties giving fans satisfactory payoffs for its story lines But feuds deserve a mention for the WWE's difficulty in managing them They occasionally get a feud on the right foot such as 2020's Orton versus Edge feud However, the WWE doesn't understand the basic outline of any drama like Banks versus Bayley They put Edge and Randy Orton in a last-man standing match for their first encounter Then expected fans to see them wrestle to see who the best wrestler was in the greatest match ever Fans also find themselves frustrated by the lack of interesting undercard feuds number eight awful announcing the WWE has I can agree with that like there's there's only like a few matches that you would really care for in a pay-per-view Now nowadays especially recently. I think we can all agree since Roman Reigns heel turn You really only care about his matches Like there's other matches that slightly interest you but it's mostly Roman Reigns whoever he's feuding with because There's not many I can say Compelling mid-card feuds that you're interested in some may pop up here and there like the the biggie Versus what's his name? I can't even think of his name Apollo cruise that was a nice mid-card feud that had some nice buzz around it But you need more of those because it balances out the car You don't want your car to only be people look forward to just the main event everything else They don't really care about you wanted to have like some type of Interest throughout your pay-per-view like oh, I'm looking forward to this big car match I'm looking forward to this match. I'm looking forward to this match like you want you want that So when you get to the main event, they've already been you know satisfied and now they're about to end off the night Watching something that they really want to see as well. So More than a wrestling problem. It has an announcing problem as fans debate What's worse the product in the ring or the men calling the action? Much awful as he is consistently mediocre Call is the epitome of someone who phones it in relying on cliches Corey graze has his moment like any potentially entertaining an out-serve You can't help but wonder if Vince McMahon has him wearing a shock vest that sets off if he gets too creative Samoa Joe was a welcome addition to Raw so naturally they got rid of him. Thankfully Thanks to the addition of Pat McAfee Vince McMahon will grind the former NFL stars performance down to the level of the other WWE Yeah, Pat McAfee, I've enjoyed his commentary Well, he'll be in on commentary and I've also enjoyed some mojo being on commentary as well when he was Coney comedy for wrestling fans. Oh my god Trying to get a friend to check out wrestling only to have the WWE make its latest pitiful attempt the comedy Whether it's riddled riding around on a stupid scooter the new day throwing tomatoes at Elias and Jackson Riker or Nia Jacks falling on her arse when she's not potatoing opponents There are plenty of reasons for potential fans to tune out and regular fans to turn red with embarrassment They have enough trouble writing wrestling and should work on improving the wrestling product before trying comedy It's next to impossible for wrestlers to pull off the comedy bits that DX the Rock and even Stone Cold Steve Austin pulled up during the Not so much because the product was PG-13, but because today's product is so heavily scripted number 10 failing to promote television and pay-per-views is a WWE afraid to let fans know which matches to expect otherwise risking fans tuning out before a Raw or pay-per-view is Why else wouldn't the WWE promote television matches ahead of time? Fans like to know what's coming up on TV or pay-per-view rather than just tuning in and hoping for the best Building up matches also makes the matches seem even more important If they're getting behind them and the wrestlers are talking them up There's a feeling they mean something a part of the problem is that the WWE feels its pay-per-views largely sell themselves The second is that Vince McMahon rewrites the WWE script so often that it's difficult if not impossible to announce a match When the WWE's head honcho decides to change things a minute before the show and number 11 The WWE's reputation There is another reason that the WWE universe is tuning out the WWE sketchy business practices as more people Boycott businesses with disreputable reputations. It's understandable why people wouldn't want to support the WWE The company's laundry list of bad behavior includes its ongoing business arrangement with Saudi Arabia It's mass releases and firings in 2020 during the pandemic some observers saw a sloppy safeguards during the pandemic I'm demanding that its wrestlers turn over their third-party deals such as cameo to it for it That I never understood why they had to turn over like their third-party deals like To WWE like that's that's kind of messed up. That's scummy Like they're twitching if they're on twitch or whatever promoting, you know themselves They got to turn over the funds for that. That's like really scummy, bro I don't like that practice like no It's own monetization or labeling wrestlers as independent contractors when they treat it as employees Yeah Fans just can't stomach supporting a promotion that treats its wrestlers and work is so poorly I'll be this may be one of the lesser factors for fans tuning out But it's a reason for some but they have a guy's 11. Oh, man This was a very interesting video. He made a lot of points WrestleMania, I got his name right this time He made a lot of great points and a lot of those points I agree with man to the tee like this is one of those situations where WWE they have the opportunity to really put some like thought into their product and I feel like they have acid Especially when it comes to like other other talent that's not in the main event scene They don't really put as much emphasis on them like they should because at the end of the day You want people to want to watch the show you want people to be invested in Damn near everything that you have on the show But you can only be invested in like a handful of things and everything else is just like Rinse and repeat like they literally have the writers just writing the same stuff They wrote the last week for the same wrestlers like that's not entertaining This is why I haven't watched raw because you're not missing nothing from wrong I'm I'm willing to bet if I watch raw next week. I'm literally someone could probably tell me You know that match was on last week in the week before in the week before like I'm not missing nothing because it's the same thing So I really wish that WWE and their creative team actually was creative on not just one story line Multiple story lines multiple characters. Let the wrestlers be individuals Let them let those wrestlers have their own character and be able to script their own character the way they feel it should be scripted But that's just my personal opinion. I think that would definitely help people want to come back if they see Some entertaining television, but it's not as entertaining outside of risk Roman Reigns He's the most entertaining thing on WWE television. I say it every time I check out a smackdown clip He's the best thing on WWE television because they wrote him to be that way So but comment down below Let me know if you know anybody that used to watch wrestling and now they don't because of some of these reasons down below I would love to get your thoughts and opinions on that. I appreciate all the love and support roll to 40k Appreciate y'all kicking it with me and I see y'all in the next one. Peace
