In terms of wwes ratings, I think that the problem is, they didn’t give us a chance to miss it, they just continued in the, diluted no crowds formula.

If wwe had taken some time off and were coming back in the empty arena format just now, like njpw are, fans would be excited to see it. As it is, I personally, have no wish to watch the product whatsoever.
