WWE Raw moving to The Score!!!

[scott231]

It looks like July 31st will be the last WWE Raw on TSN as both companies have parted ways. WWE Raw will be moving to The Score channel 54 I believe. I watch Raw on USA Network anyways but I know alot of people that don't get The Score. TSN chose NFL Monday Night Football over WWE Raw at the end. www.wrestlingobserver.com/

Well overall the populartity of wrestling has gone downhill! Back in July of 1996 when the nWo formed wrestling got steam, then between 1997 - 2001 WWF/WWE was the most popular thing, #1 Ratings, sellout crowds, sold out merchandise you name it. I still watch WWE Raw but it's not the same anymore. I actually mis WCW as they were competition.

TSN didn't care about RAW even though it was their largest source of revenue outside of NHL hockey broadcasts.

I got so sick of hearing Jay Onrait talking about "gettin' back to rasslin'" or any of the talking heads there!

The SCORE may be a small upstart sports network but they have respect for their own programming and don't insult it. This is the same company that will give university sports an outlet (albeit only in southern Ontario), as well as some of the less popular sports like rugby and lacrosse.

Good luck with more WWE programming SCORE, it won't be long until Vince owns 100% of your network (knowing he has a 7% ownership share right now). Coule be good for the broadcast television landscape considering Bell Globe Media owns most of it!

The problem is see nowadays is new talent is thin. When Austin, Bret Hart, Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels were stars, they put many years into the business with other federations. Now newbie wrestlers go to WWE training classes for a couple of years then they go to the ring.

John Cena who has only been a pro for less than 5 years has no skills (except on the mic) is boring. Batista, big buy but has less than 5 years as well isn't a big time performer yet either.

Wrestling is for White Trash!

WWF or WWE or WCW...it's all gay as hell!!!!!!!!!!
