Whether it was the best decision ever is totally dependent on whether you care about WWE, which I don’t

Well, I mean, I’m thinking in terms of broad strategy. I don’t watch wrestling either, but LOTS of people do.

Gerweck.net reported, "FOX dropped WWE Smackdown because high level advertisers were not interested in buying ad space on wrestling shows due to low income and education levels among the viewership." I get that it's a good business decision, but requiring WWE fans to buy a $7.99 streaming service sticks in my craw. I wholeheartedly agree with Rep. Pat Ryan that airing Thursday Night Football exclusively on Amazon Prime is an antitrust violation. The NFL should be penalized accordingly. And while we're at it, sequestering new Star Trek shows on a streaming platform is downright un-American.
