Wrestling 2 the MAX EP 193 Pt. 1: Post-Payback RAW, Do Ratings & Casual Fans Matter? Ryback Issues

Well, it has been a couple of days since WWE Payback 2016 and not a whole lot has happened. At least we do have a post-PPV RAW to cover and an update on when we could see Enzo Amore back on WWE TV as well.We also have an interesting article, which has created a topic for us, discussing if TV ratings and casual fans really matter so much in the short-term or the long-term for WWE. Do the ratings truly affect WWE’s thoughts as much as they used to? If they do, should they? Is WWE preparing for life without USA Network with the WWE Network? We discuss these questions and more. So, we start things with the last offering from WWE’s RAWWe discuss a few things going on in the wrestling news in Quick Hits concerning a contract dispute for RyBack, Enzo’s impact test, and a few other notes. We finish things out with our topic about Casual Wrestling Fans and Ratings.------------ Time Stamps ------------(6:15-43:15) WWE RAW(43:15-59:35) Chat with fan that was at RAW Live & Final Rating(59:35-1:09:19) Wrestling News: RyBack Contract Dispute, Enzo Amore Update(1:09:19-End) Special Topic: (Using an article written by Barry Hess over at Voices of Wrestling, which you can read here: http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2016/04/29/why-casual-fans-and-ratings-dont-matter/) We discuss if the casual fans importance has diminished and along with it television ratings as well.
