3 YouTubers Who Could Be Successful with WWE

It is no secret that WWE's TV ratings are declining and this is a major issue. WWE's Chairman Vince McMahon addressed this problem in a recent quarterly earnings conference call where he said that WWE is trying to improve the ratings.

So what can WWE do to increase the ratings? Well, one tried and tested method of introducing new fans to the product has been to bring a popular figure from a different industry into the mix.
