Tonight we are scheduled to talk to SICW owner/promoter Herb Simmons. We were scheduled to talk to him a few weeks ago about the FITE app. However, a few days before the show, Herb's long time friend and partner in SICW, legendary WRESTLING AT THE CHASE commentator Larry Matysik passed away. This Saturday, Herb and the SICW crew put on an event to pay tribute to Larry, including a major steel cage match.

With our remaining time we are going to discuss the question of whether complacency is killing the WWE product. Attendence is dropping not only at non televised house shows but even on RAW and SmackDown Live TV. Entire building sections tarped off, lights only aimed at one side of a building to cover the lack of audience. The ratings numbers are dropping as well, with RAW posting its lowest numbers ever, and this on the go home show prior to their last pay per view of the year.

Did buying WCW away from Ted Turner kill Vince McMahon's motivation to make good matches and angles? Has programming everything literally down to the second killed the spark that makes live audiences react and viewers want to turn in? Is there anyone out there that can be a strong number two that can force WWE to step up their game back to the level of the Monday Night Wars?

We'll discuss all of this and other items TONIGHT.
