The shows started to go down the toilet as soon as WCW wrestlers started appearing in WWE. Specifically, when Benoit, Saturn, Malenko and Gurrero showed up. Then after the WCW buyout.
There is a reason WCW is out of business, and those reasons are now wrestling in a WWE ring.
Almost every match has a WCW or ECW wrestler. Nobody wanted to watch them on Nitro or ECW, so why does McMahon think we want to see them now?
Welllllllll.......even though it had some boring matches (ok a lot of boring matches recently ;p), it still has some good ones too. Along with some storylines that are still entertaining.
Since moving from Montreal, I can't get the channels that show RAW or Smackdown anymore............so stop complaining =)

Yep I agree, What ever happened to the The Iron Sheik. I thought he was the shit with that CAMEL CLUTCH move. Pulling that stunt on the friends while growing. HAHA what times.

Yeah but I still watch it. Been watching it for years. Has gone downhill in the past year. The Smackdown/RAW shit sucks. They just need one roster so matches like Goldberg vs Brock Lesner can happen.
i use to love that shit, RAW was the best program a few years ago with the Austin/Vince fued - it is getting very dull now, but Vince will come up with something

Nitro had better ratings then RAW for a while, so obviously people wanted to see these guys wrestle. Take Goldberg for example. And Chris Benoit is one of the more popular wrestlers on Smackdown.
I only watch RAW though now, but I am looking forward to the Royal Rumble to see who will cross over to RAW. There's rumours that Benoit might win it and go on to wrestle Triple H or that Goldberg might win it and go on to wrestle Lesnar.

You know nothing about wrestling.
When those four turned up on WWE tv ratings went up HUGE. It was a massive deal.
WCW went out of business for many reasons none of which are Benoit or Eddie Guerrero. Both of those are top ratings draw. In hispanic markets Eddie is a bigger ratings draw than Goldberg, Angle or Lesnar.
Also whya re you knocking ECW wrestlers? ECW gave us the beer drinking Steve Austin and hardcore legend Mick Foley.
WWE is boring and in the shitter becasue it is written by a woman who is clueless (Stephanie McMahon) and her asshole husband Triple H who gets his own way and buries talent.
I know all decisions and storylines must be approved by Vince before it airs. The ratings have been dropping pretty steadily, he needs to go back to the raunchy shit

They just need to write better storylines and create better characters instead of putting his talentless sona dn daughter on the air and letting his son in law beat Goldberg, RVD and Booker thus killing the guys who could be big stars.

Shane takes some cool bumps but being booked like superman is terrible. He hung with Kane in a couple of matches which should NEVER happen. He even beat Kane on houseshows. Just terrible booking having your monster made to look bad by the bosses part time working son.
I haven't been watching lately so forgive me if I am wrong but why the hell is Jonathon Coachman a big player on RAW? Last time I watched he was some little weasel who interviewed wrestlers in the back......... Who the fuck wrote this story

Sadly he is popular with the McMahons and they want him commentating despite being terrible.
WWE is using coach as part of the racism angle because they are desperate for anything to get viewers.
