To tbh honest Alex I am more interested in whether you have a mall head or a big glass.

Cripes. I don't want to be helping.

I wasn't genuinely trying to offend at all. I appreciate different people like different things but I was just saying I've tried but it's completely over my head!
It makes millions and millions watch it which is fine and I wasn't trying to be condescending in the slightest. Soz if I came across that way but i wasn't.

like you weren't trying to offend.

Did we ever find out whether Al has a mall head?

[CJ]

We didn't Lee.

The Federation is coming off three straight poor TV ratings, the worst non-holiday rating since 1997 when Nitro was on.

The response from Vince: Kane in the title match!
And bring back Brock and burn through his contracted dates.

How do you save wrestling now though?

Can you bring it back attitude era now it's towards the kids, is there any real stars that the wwe has now?

Kane in a title match and relying on Lesnar sounds like last resort.

[Alex]

Meh.

IMO WWE is the best its been for a long time at the moment. Its clear that all the old guys are on their last go around. So milk them for everything before its done.

Reigns, Rollins, Ambrose, Wyatt, Owens, Balor, Zyan and Bryan are all going to carry this company going forward. Most of the stories revolve around those too.

Past caring about what goes on behind the scenes and TV ratings. As long as I find it fun to watch I will. When its not ill stop.

I will say that ratings across the world are dropping because of different ways to consume TV. What they are losing with the TV side must be slowly getting picked up in Youtube views and ad revenue.

Why save it. It's grown men in tights trying to entertain kids. The kids have moved on and found something more worthy of their time.

[Alex]

Insightful.

Please go ahead and tell me what people should be doing for enjoyment instead?

[CJ]

Well as an adult it might be overudue for you.

It's not a spot and the number of people finding it entertaining is dropping.

I'd rather powrewash the drive, paint the fence or any other diy which I hate doing.

If I want entertainment I can watch films good TV. I can also watch proper sport. Or o to the pub and listen to live music.

It must be hard for you enjoying kids TV that even the kids dont like any more. You have my sympathy.

[Alex]

You win. You've changed my mind.

In all seriousness there is plenty out there that people enjoy and reducing it to Kids TV is just wrong.

Bit like saying the Simpsons is a kids cartoon. Lots is aimed at kids, but when that's on I just don't bother with it. What I have enjoyed has been a damn sight more fun than anything Liverpool have offered up in the last 18 months
