Poll: Do television ratings and pay-per-view buyrates matters?
A debate has been circulating around Twitter the past week or so (cheap plug: follow us @cagesideseats) about whether or not wrestling fans should discuss or even care about what kind of numbers WWE Raw or TNA Impact pull in on a weekly basis or how much people end up buying each company's...
So, all things considered, how was Utah's inaugural Pac-12 season?
I think most of us expected challenges this season.
