Jim actually likes NXT.

It gets lost in his hatred of Kenny and the Bucks, but he's not exactly a massive fan of main roster WWE either.

KENTA: Spent his entire run injured and barely used. Left to go back to Japan.

Auska: Had a hell of an NXT run. Won a Royal Rumble. Lost to Charlotte. Is now a Youtuber.

Shinsuke: Had a hell of an NXT run. Won a Royal Rumble. Lost to AJ Styles. Had an awful feud with Jinder. Currently surfing.

Akira Tozawa: Former 205 Live Cruiserweight champion. Still on 205 Live. Likely gone.

Kairi: Was having a hell of an NXT run. Derailed when she was called up to Smackdown to do nothing with Auska.

Io Shirai: The other victim of the call up

KUSHIDA: Dancing.

a post that was actually gilded on Reddit posted:

Kofi, Seth, and Becky all won and the ratings stayed the same or got lower. Then Seth was “mean to M’Mox” and the same people who begged for him to be the face of the company now claim he’s garbage.

Television ratings are the most outdated, antiquated form of engagement. Nearly 30% of households don’t even have cables anymore. Most people get their television content from Roku, Hulu, and YouTube clips. People use social media for engagement. Until people like Meltzer step into modern TV engagement, he’s gonna keep sounding like a doom gong for WWE, while trying to spin the AEW low ratings as “actually very high.” However, I’ve never understood why wrestling fans only like what they think will draw, what was highly rated, as if they have no opinions of their own. “Psh. Rollins. He’s not drawing any dimes.” Unless he pays your bills or you have stock, who cares? Cheer for who you cheer for and enjoy the TV show. You wouldn’t see anyone claim that Brooklyn 99 sucks because “Hitchcock and Scully were lightning in a bottle! They didn’t push them! So sick of Peraltiago! They’re ratings poison!” Why do we do it?

i love how ratings no longer matter to WWE stans when ratings are bad. and lol @ the dave meltzer boogeyman

besides I thought the common complaint against WWE was that the stories and how they link into the wrestling and promos are utter dogshit. The ratings reflect that.

I don’t think “ratings are not a 1:1 translation of what they were even 5 years ago” and “WWE is in a creative rut with a subpar product right now, and that’s driving viewers away” are mutually exclusive.

Yeah, the guy has a shadow of a good point then goes on a think about Metlzer and lol.

I'd... love to be able to enjoy WWE television. But they just closed their big "premier" with a cuck angle so.... I don't enjoy the programming.

Ratings are how TV viewership is measured and TV money is what fuels WWE so it's a very stupid point. WWE isn't paid in theoretical Hulu viewers. They are paid to produce TV viewers and their viewership has fallen far faster than cable in general.

Yeah, Nielsen ratings may be a dinosaur but uh, it's what the people keeping the lights on in WWE care about. For some reason there's money in pretending this model is still relevant.
