Well some of their daytime shows do not allow any work or attacks on the head, neck or upper parts close to these areas, thats deemed to violent

Weird huh

[DeviousOne]

The only way a wwe channel will make money is if they offer free ppv's with a paid subscription.

[claud3]

That's possible, but how many and how amazing will they be

[Yuuichi]

Where did you read they're operating at a loss? I've read for years now that these are WWE's most profitable years actually. ._.

On the subject of PG, what boggles my mind is how far WWE has taken this PG crap. They can show blood, they can be edgy, they can have violence and weapons. PG doesn't prevent any of that. WWE just takes PG to extreme (may I say ridiculous) lengths.
Obviously I'm not completely up-to-date with PG guidelines, so I may have misspoken above, but I know for a fact PG doesn't restrict as much as WWE (or maybe its fans) pretend it does..

I misspoke earlier. They are not operating at a loss, their sales are profit are down however.

[claud3]

Well either way, a loss or not

They are suffering on a lot of levels we know about and ones we do not

If I were in charge I would fire the entire writing staff and bring in new blood. Any WWE fan could write a more entertaining show than these clowns.

The problem is mainly Vince. Everything goes by him first and he has first and only say in the matter. I am willing to think there have been some awesome stories made up by the writers that would have all of cheering but where shot down by Vince. Really he just needs to leave.

WWE Stars Set to Request Their Releases From WWE?
Source: F4WOnline.com

There are rumblings that there might be a group of WWE stars who are set to request their releases from WWE some time after WrestleMania 29 due to being frustrated with their careers and being rarely used on television. No word yet on exactly who they might be, but one might assume that it would probably be low-card talents who rarely get any time on Raw and SmackDown.

More on this story when details become available.

I've read that one of them is Ted DiBiase.

And there's this ownage:

Low Attendance

Tuesday's tapings for WWE Friday Night SmackDown in Bridgeport, Connecticut reportedly only got about 2,500 people, which is a very low number. Connecticut is WWE's home state and an area they usually do very well in.

To vinces credit he has make good decisions in the past however being the only major show in town has diminished his decision making I think

If TNA stayed the course years ago instead of bringing in bitchoff and hogan they would be their compotetion but no did the safe thing and TNA lost its orginality.

[claud3]

Vince oddly enough is pissed with the way raw is going and smackdown, considering he makes the final decision on both brands...

The Vince man is losing the plot and needs to relish in the success he has achieved and leave

[DeviousOne]

With everything recently said is anyone gonna watch TLC tomorrow night...Ill be streaming it

[claud3]

nope, because i feel its not the best ppv anymore...

[Yuuichi]

TLC will be a disaster both in sales and performances.

[DeviousOne]

nope, because i feel its not the best ppv anymore...

It never was mate...lol

[claud3]

it's just an excuse for light hardcore wrestling lmao

[DeviousOne]

TLC will be a disaster both in sales and performances.

That kinda why I want to see it lmao its like going to see a train wreck

[DeviousOne]

it's just an excuse for light hardcore wrestling lmao

Lmao good point bro!

[claud3]

I know lol....

But it will be so crap, here only 2,500 people showed up to the taping on smackdown this week... Talk about ouch

[XMW]

Eh TLC is this Sunday right? I got other things on my mind atm, I'm not caring too much about WWE, add to that the fact that this looks like a pretty bad PPV I'll likely download it Tuesday when I got home from work.

I'm really only interested in the 6 man tag main event, I honestly cant even remember some of the other matches on the card.

[claud3]

Likewise mate... I think I will wash my hair that night lol

[DeviousOne]

Big show and sheamus, also Cena and ziggler in a ladder match that could steal the show

[claud3]

Here is a cool thing

And I agree 100%

-- Online technology news website Wired.com published an article today criticizing WWE's storytelling ability, but more specifically, John Cena. To writer Chris Sims, nobody embodies the problem more than "The Champ," whose character is often promoted at the expense of others.

On the Dec. 3 RAW, WWE chief Vince McMahon had authority figure Vickie Guerrero add the stipulation of Dolph Ziggler putting his World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank contract on the line in his match against Cena at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs. For this disregard of storylines, Sims ripped WWE, writing, "It's the most blatant example of pulling strings to give him an endless amount of chances, and to make matters worse, it's a pointless storytelling move. It doesn't matter what the outcome is; if he loses, it doesn't mean anything because it's become evident that he'll just be given another chance. If he wins, he doesn't really gain anything because he's in the exact same spot that he always is, and Ziggler loses some of his legitimacy to fix something that ain't broken."
