This guy wrote this interesting article on if the WWE is failing as a business ’cause of low ratings. I agree with his article totally. Just because WWE TV ratings are low, doesn’t mean the business is coming to an end. The WWE is a powerful company. This company will be on our planet forever. Like WWE or not.
Whenever it’s Vince McMahon’s time to die in real life, I’m not saying he will, but what if down the road, there will be other people in the wrestling business to take his spot as chairman to keep WWE alive. Like his kids Stephanie and Shane McMahon can take over ownership. Maybe Jim Ross or Triple H, those two guys know about the wrestling business more than anyone. There will always be people taking over if Vince McMahon happens to retire or dies, it doesn’t matter. Vince McMahon will never retire from WWE, he’ll be chairman ’til the day he dies, trust me on this. 🙂

Reasons I think WWE is low in the ratings:
-last year’s Chris Benoit murder controversy
-No Stone Cold, No Rock, No Hulk Hogan
-Storylines getting lame and stupid
-Not enough wrestling
I can think of a lot of reasons but those are the big ones I can thnk of at the top of my head. Basically, no one really cares for WWE anymore except the only people left are mostly the longtime fans who still enjoy watching it like myself.

It’s pretty obvious why their ratings are slipping. You gotta figure that most of the people who were fans back in the big years of wrestling have grown up and found something more interesting to pay attention to now that they’re in their thirties, cause unless you’re retarded you can’t be twelve years old forever.

Do not judge the fans of the WWE. WWE fans range from people in all ages from children to the middle aged. While the TV ratings are low, the WWE still seem to sell out arenas every show they put on. As long they can still sell out arenas, that’s still good business.
