I usually don't bother posting them at all BUT SOMEONE'S NOT DOING THEIR JOB!

Meh, there wasn’t really a point to it anymore. Those who cared most about it aren’t around to project themselves about it any longer.

As a North American sports fan, it always seems so weird to me seeing people pissing all over one another over tv ratings. I guess though because we know the results in professional wrestling, things like the ratings and financial successes of our own respective billionaire owners become the only thing to really “compete” over. And I guess it’s proven that we can’t possibly just enjoy something without competing, so ratings it is!

Well, they definitely do compete over the ratings. It’s not nothing. WWE doesn’t have to care about it that much either even though doing so would make them more money.
