Vince thinks putting a band-aid on a bullet wound will fix the problem. He refuses to touch the fundamental problems that are turning fans off the product. He can't panic button right.
A big issue is that with vince devoting his time elsewhere, he s delegating much of wwe to kevin dunn….who is outright trying to sabotage hhh. numerous people have said this
according to reports, the E is planning to cut back on youtube content, in response to the low ratings of raw and SD.

i think we all need some riffing after last night.
Just my opinion... but I think the only WWE show that really needs work is RAW.
I think over the past year Smackdown, NXT, NXT UK, and 205 Live have been pretty good. They have all had their ups and downs, but I think overall they have been solid. I think RAW maybe just needs a better creative team. Though in their defense, it's gotta be tough to do 3 hours of programming every week. Due to it's length, I sort of think RAW will never consistantly be a good to great show.
Sami hitting three Blue Thunder Bombs in a row only for Kofi to kick out, but then Sami losing to ONE Trouble in Paradise, was not a great finish to an otherwise quite good match.
Asuka & Kairi vs. Mandy & Sonya-I don't know why WWE insists on taking wrestlers who could all use some wins/momentum and pitting them against each other. They do it constantly and it's irritating.
The women were all but absent from both shows this week actually, that's not a good sign.
Overall a decent show, and better than Raw. But again if you really want to help the ratings, putting on shows like this ain't gonna do it long-term.
Apparently the wild card rule is Vince's way to compromise with the TV networks. USA and Fox want for the company's top stars to appear on their respective shows but Vince doesn't want to end the brand split.
I'd definately say the Wild Card thing is the lesser of 2 evils, as I don't want the brand split to necessarily end either.
Though I do wonder if the simpler sollution wouldn't be to simply have floating world champions. That's having top stars show up on both brands in a more organic way.
