As we noted before, the ratings of Raw have been sinking in the past couple of weeks and this and the average episodes of the show that the company has produced recently have been a topic of discussion among wrestling fans.
Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer recently commented on the situation and replying to it former WWE Writer and indie star Jimmy Jacobs tweeted that writing 3 hours of television every week is very hard:

Later the Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins also joined in on the conversation and said that people don’t understand the difficulties of writing 5 hours of live television every week:
That’s the one thing I don’t think people understand. 5 hours of live TV every week. EVERY WEEK. Add in all the extraneous variables that affect the final outcome….and it’s a modern miracle that the shows come together as well as they do.

These comments are especially interesting as it was also Rollins who had recently criticized the WWE writers saying that important storyline points go over the head of writers sometimes.
This talk has since picked up the pace and people have been discussing who is to blame for the current state of WWE Programming. Do let us know your thoughts on the matter in the comment section below.
