Because Punk is bringing in the same numbers as an Austin, Hogan, or Goldberg...oh wait.

He would be, if the actual WWE product was as good now as it was back then. The fact that they didn't go all the way with Punk in 2011 or go all the way with Bryan in 2013 just shows how stupid WWE is. They're more interested in protecting Cena's top spot than actually making money. Bryan was getting Austin pops this year, and the WWE just kept screwing him out of the title and holding him down at every single opportunity, leaving us with a boring Rumble main event between two has beens who've already wrestled each other a thousand times, and a weird, possible heel turn for Bryan that makes no sense given that he is the hottest babyface on their entire roster. I really hope this Wyatt family thing somehow works to Bryan's benefit but I've given up on giving the WWE the benefit of the doubt, so I remain pessimistic.

I wanted to get that, but it's pricey. Also, I read somewhere that it may not be as uncut as WWE claims.

I once saw an ad for the WWE stating that John Cena has more followers on Twitter than some really famous celebrities. They treat him as a brand , you know like how Nintendo stick Mario's name on everything just to make people buy it. That is why they will just not quit on him, Cena=Sales .

How much is the RAW DVD?
As big for a wrestling fan that I used to be, I always hated RAW for some reason. I am watching some Nitro episodes these days and boy did I miss the good stuff (Never watched a single Nitro episode before 2008/09 on DVD I got) .

Plus, many of those WWE releases are just re-releases I am willing to say that any wrestling fan probably owns these RAW episodes or the most important parts in different variety of wrestling related DVDs . I bet some are in The Rise and Fall of WCW DVD, others are in the Shawn Michaels dvd you get the idea. Its just collected in a different way.

Daniel Bryan turning and going with the Wyatt's made my 10 year old daughter cry. I explained it's not real and he'll be back as a good guy again someday.

I'd like to add though that the only reason I watch WWE right now is for Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, and Eric Rowan. They are solid in the ring and out and Bray is one of the most talented mic guys ever. I do hope to see Heyman back as well or better yet let him go to TNA to run that company; non financially of course.

Casual watcher here, so I don't know what all has been going on...but I think the Daniel turn is solely for the fact that the Wyatts will gang up on Lesnar when he and Daniel fight.

-Ross on Daniel Bryan on WWE Old School Raw: "WWE creative must hit it out of the park tonight on the Daniel Bryan, who's soon to be known as Daniel Wyatt based on weekend WWE live events, and the Wyatt Family storyline. I've never seen a talent over the last few years get 'over' to the level of Bryan and then be booked so curiously. Hopefully, at the end of the day, this will come full circle and please many fans but at least Bryan is still getting quality TV minutes and his bell to bell in ring work is virtually untouchable."

Though I think Daniel Bryan is their best overall talent right now, Bray Wyatt is in my opinion the best talker in the company aside from Heyman, who is not an active wrestler. So I agree with you. I like the Wyatts. I just don't like the way they are mixing them up with Bryan, but we'll see how that all turns out tonight I guess

They've never released full episodes of Raw or Nitro before, except for the a handful here or there as extras on a DVD here or there (the first episode of Raw and Nitro have been released, I think, as extras.)

I love the DVD documentaries, and own a lot of them. But being able to have 20 of the best episodes, uncut, including under-card matches and moments; is entirely different. It's like having just a single retrospective episode of a T.V. series vs. having the entire season box-set.

That's what's so crazy though, he DOESN'T equal sales. Their buyrates for the last few pay per views have hit record lows. Ratings are not where they should be, and overall WWE is not even close to being as successful as they were in the Attitude era. They're pissing away money making opportunities every year, and Cena has probably cost them millions in all the fans he's pushed away from the product

The people running WWE right now are literally insane and they're going to be in for a rude awakening when they see how the WWE Network flops when it debuts this year. And I'm going to laugh because it's about time these people got a nice reality check

I watched about 45 minutes of Raw tonight and changed the channel after the awful Bryan/Wyatt follow up. They're not getting my ratings anymore. If I'm curious about what's going on I'll download Raw off the internet or read online results

That's still happening?! AWESOME! I can't freaking wait! I thought they scrapped it. I can't wait to watch old Raws, Tuesday Night Titans, Nitros, Thunders, and WCCW again!
