Even smackdown is getting very low viewership.

Shut the fuck up Vince

>>1242445

You're argument is that TNA used to draw a 2.0, and now that Styles left, it draws MAYBE 300,000 viewers, and therefore Styles is a ratings killer?

This is some primo troll logic. Nice job.

>>1242445
Smackdown doesn't progress storylines in a meaningful way though. It's basically what Superstars should be.

>You're argument is that TNA used to draw a 2.0
No idiot it barely ever drew a 2.0 period. I only pointed out it's current viewership to give a perspective on how far it has fallen. They switched to two networks that don't have the amount of viewership spike gets. Which is why they have even lower viewership now.

>and therefore Styles is a ratings killer
I don't know anon you tell me. Styles a main guy for much of TNA's years and they almost never get into the 2.0 rating. Most of the times hovering around 1.0 rating and very often less than that while Styles was their main guy. All of a sudden Styles is feuding with Roman and viewership is dropping fast.

This is no coincidence. Styles is a ratings killer and it is obvious.

Well, color me surprised.

Gotta admit, I download RAW and Smackdown. I'd literally have no way to watch these shows otherwise. In my opinion WWE needs to improve the accessibility of these shows.
They should put it on the Network like NXT and not months behind like they currently do, that's pointless because I ain't planning to be months behind the rest of the world you know.

If you don't think this is a factor, you don't know TV.

>>1242566
This. I wanna watch Raw and Smackdown but I just don't have any reason to get cable.

They gotta get some kinda digital distribution going for those shows, I'd pay for that in a heartbeat.

>>1242565

This. Watched Celtics then Flipped to Red Sox then flipped to Draft when both teams were playing like shit. Smackdown was DVR'd.

>>1242445

Smackdown was always the weaker brand

Raw ratings are down
Smackdown ratings are down
Total Divas ratings are down

JUST

All TV is getting low ratings, WWE Raw this week still beat the nba playoff games.

why would I watch any of this shit?

>>1242445
Indy manlets and shield guys are dropping the ratings. WWE is screwed, all their guys don't have it and never will, even with good writing, they are terrible actors with no charisma or don't have the physical appeal.

>>1242445
I didn't watch online because USA botched the online feed all this week. I wanted to see if Ric Flair saying KYS made it to air.

>>1244096
This.

Most people, like me, don't need to pay for cable when there are people out there live streaming the shows we want to see.

>>1244078
Not in the early 2000s breh

It's because people are starting to realize how gay rasslin is, probably in part to /asp/ being the online showcase of fans. They find you fags in here, and never watch again for fear of becoming you.

Waaait hold the fucking phone.
A meme from the 90s is finally losing speed?
Thank fucking god.

I haven't watched Smackdown in years. Until it's live and/or they progress storylines it's not worth watching

Cable is slowly dying, I know, but the point was, this thread was pointless because there were 3-4 more interesting things to spend your time watching than this week's Smackdown that was spoiled on Tuesday.

>>1244180
hate to break it to you Jags were never great. They has a few good years but that was it.

At least they drafted well on Def. They're not bad on Offense, Bortles needs to not throw picks tho. Him & A-Rob won me a few games last year

>>1242467

>No idiot it barely ever drew a 2.0 period.

So TNA DID draw a 2.0. With Styles.

And then Styles left, and they got booted from Spike and then booted from Destination America. All the while Styles drew gangbusters in Japan.

And in light of all of this evidence, you conclude that Styles isn't a draw. Because you didn't get enough oxygen at birth.

>>1244403

>Bortles needs to not throw picks

Bortles needs some goddamn protection. I think he set the record for most times sacked in his first two seasons, because none of their scrub WRs can get open, and their O-Line is asswater. It's no surprise he's getting picked off when he can't even step into a throw because he's getting knocked on ass every play.

>>1244408
>So TNA DID draw a 2.0. With Styles.

Way to spin words around. Every time they have ever drew a 2.0 which is literally a handful of times it was in spite of AJ Styles. He just happened to be there was all.

One of those times they even got over a 2.0 was because of Hogan, Hall and Nash. Not because of manlet styles.

Smackdown 02-03 was the best show WWE has ever produced. Absolute GOAT as fuck

>>1244559
Well it is true. You can look it up. The TNA that those three reunited drew their biggest number.
