8) Declining Attendance
The WWE likes to keep their attendance records on the down low, especially the live events which generate some pretty awful turnouts. In 2014, the WWE drew some crowds of 2,000 fans in places like Glens Falls and Kalamazoo. In the same year, it was said that the average number of attendance during live events in the US and Canada was a little over 4,800 per show. This is extremely problematic due to the fact that more than half of WWE’s live events per year are house show-type events. Whether the WWE wants to admit it or not, the product is nowhere near the numbers it used to draw in the 90s (whether it’s attendance or rating wise). RAW’s ratings were more than double than what they are today. It remains to be seen how the WWE will take care of these ongoing problems.
