I'm curious as to whether the audience engagement with the storyline is any worse than anything else they're currently serving up. I haven't really seen any breakdowns etc. Alexa is doing some of their highest YouTube views each week so in terms of the modern world, it's far from a ratings failure.

Kamaras-Tash Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 That opening segment was terrible, do they really think people actually talk like that? just went to sleep after that shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJones233 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 A fitting punishment for him is to make him watch Alexa Bliss and Fiend segments on loop clockwork orange style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still in great shape, his performance at the Rumble was outstanding, but he looks about 65 and they don't play into it. He looks more like his old mucker Rob Zombie than ever, should put tassles on his trenchcoat, black makeup round his eyes, and give him his old music back.

Paid Members mim731 Posted February 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Weirdly, I've quite enjoyed the Fiend/Alexa/Orton stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm aware it's total shite. But for some reason (probably a special sort of car crash quality) I am legitimately enjoying it. I also appreciate I am in the minority and this is not what WWE should be leaning into to get their product back on track. Edited February 2, 2021 by mim731 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube is absolutely meaningless. It accounts for a minuscule percentage of revenue as detailed in their financial reports and there has proven to be almost zero correlation between YouTube views and any other viewing metrics, as evidenced by a show long built Alexa title match losing 200000 viewers last week.  Heres a quote from Meltzy on the matter: YouTube views are mostly outside US, heavy in India, Kavita Devi did giant numbers. It's one of those stats that are cool to look at, but their meaning has little relationship to money  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be creepy as fuck, and she/all the women probably get far worse. Didn't some lad break into one of the nxt women's wrestlers house a few months back?

If there is something people want to see then they stick around, it doesn’t happen often because the show is the shits and they never put anything on that any sane person could ever give a fuck about. But in rare instances the third hour stays steady if people care about what’s happening, for example a show last year where edge returned after a couple of months away the third hour was the highest of the whole show.

As a rule, the women with a more "alternative" look tend to attract the bigger weirdos, and the ones who flirt with childlike imagery are even worse. Alexa's basically picked up the old AJ Lee "fanbase". Your Trish Stratuses and Stacy Keiblers likely never get the full-blown stalker weirdos, but the women with gimmicks that make them seem more "attainable" always attract terrifying nutters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember one Australian guy was stalking Kaitlyn so badly that WWE took her off Australian tours for a bit. He was sending her hundreds of tweets a day, as if she was his actual girlfriend, as well as hassling other people on the roster about her. He threatened to kill himself when she (finally) blocked him. As for Bliss, I made the mistake of clicking on one picture on her Twitter a while ago and I felt like I needed a shower after reading the replies. I'm not sure exactly what must've broken in someone's brain that makes them think "Bet she'd like to see a photoshopped picture of Zack Ryder having a wank. That'll make her love me" but there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She posted a pic the other day where her gear said 'Watch me' and one of the top replies was something like 'I already am ;)'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
