Is she a draw?

>AJetty

Wow great job opening the show with womens ""wrestling""! Surely everyone wants to see that!

Sad

>This week’s show was one of the lowest rated shows since the 1990s. This continues a downward trend in ratings and viewers that RAW can’t seem to shake.

It was opening the show with fucking becketty. hopefully they learn from this and get the title off that bitch

>>1789497
only 19 days bro

>>1789490
But AJ didn't wrestle that night.

Raw and Smackdown have the same audience.

When one goes up, they both go up. When one goes down they both go down.

We won't see differences in ratings trend until next years when (if?) both shows have established different styles

WWE is basically dying.
Also Cena has never been a draw, it's time to accept that after well over a decade now.

This is why you never fucking open with women's wrestling.

Roman Reigns fault.
WWE used him so much on Raw on Monday that he killed any interest someone might have in watching wrestling on Tuesday.

Smackdown has been so fucking good, it bums me out to hear this.

>>1789500
18 days you stupid shit

>>1789475
Except Cena and Ambrose were advertised as the main event and pushed throughout the whole show. AJ had all of a backstage interview for a minute and showed up right at the end.

>>1789509
Shawn Michaels is the GOAT and he wasn't a big draw.
quality =/= popularity

>>1789504
>When one goes up, they both go up. When one goes down they both go down.
Except that wasn't the case last week.

>tfw Roman costed WWE 1 million viewers
>tfw now it's hard to get them back

fucking Roman

>BMJ loses against balding hobo
>ratings in free fall

>tfw SD gets literally good
>tfw they will merge rosters in 6 months because ratings are shit

>>1789510
Fuck off Reddit. It's a boring show just like Raw.

End it

>Thinking two weeks is a trend
I say you would need at least 16 weeks to see what the viewership will actually be

>>1789536
t. SquaredCircle

Dropped RAW for the same shit, women wrestling and jobbers taking more than the first hour. It should be fucking illegal.

>>1789544
Unless there's a drastic change, in 16 weeks there won't be any Raw or Smackdown on TV. Maybe on another channel with a diferent title but it won't continue as it is

>Dean "Worst Member of the Shield" Ambrose is such a non-draw that even when working with Cena on a non-football night, he draws a lower rating than Based Seth and Based Roman drew against football

No aj match = no ratings. Fuck of ambrose

>>1789475
AJannetty confirmed for dropping the title next week

>>1789568
SD was against the fall premiere of big shows like NCIS, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Voice. Jasethy and Ramenetty still got record lows tho.

>>1789588
Let's all take a step back and soak in the fact that wrestling is now officially less relevant than all those shows.

I turned it off when I saw AJ wasn't in the opening desu

>>1789603
> underestimating just how many people watch NCIS
there's a reason it's had 14 fucking seasons

>>1789609
Fair enough, well it's not like those shows have a common audience anyway.

>Rometty
>Jasethy
>Deanetty
>AJ-etty
>Becketty
>Stephetty McMahon
>Pauletty Levesquetty
>RAWetty
>Martetty Janettyetty

Any that I missed?

>>1789623
I miss when it was just Deanetty

It flowed so much better but the Dean marks couldn't take it so just forced it on everyone else.

When will they learn that opening a show with *****womens*****wrestling***** is going to make people turn off?

>>1789475
>AJ is there
>The B show of all things almost beats the main show

>Cena is there; no AJ
>ratings down 14%

>>1789662
anti smarks are delusional, this is not news

>>1789510

only compared to the shit show that is Raw. On it''s own merits, Smackdown has been nothing special post brand split

Is it even worth it to compare tv-ratings?

Everyone I know just torrents the shows or watch them on the WWE Network.

Nobody watches cable tv anymore.

>>1789568
>Based Seth

Hi Cuckter

>>1789671
Im pretty sure this is correct

All that matters in the end is revenue. I doubt Vince is looking at the ratings and getting worried.

I think wrestling smarks are just obsessed with ratings because the whole ratings war and how important it was to the compant. Today it won't matter. There will never be competition like the WCW again and wrestling will never be mainstream again because of the stigma of fat manchildren that so many people associate with wrestling fans.

Kek Jasethy was always the original /wooo/tist

>it's a Carter gets a new gimmick episode

So is it AJ's fault or Dean's fault?

>>1789746
I turned it off when I realized AJ wouldn't have a match. And they started with women's wrestling.

>>1789676
TV in general is a sinking ship and everyone is trying to move toward networks, not just wrestling.

>>1789475
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO CLOSE UET SO FAR
maybe youll beat raw next week when the debates and mnf happen

>>1789588
Smark excuses getting worse by the day lmao

>>1789475
DONT START SHOWS OFF WITH WOMEN SEGMENTS

>>1789563
yes

To be fair the election is poised to kill everything in ratings at this time, even the last 2 Monday night NFL games did pretty bad compared to their usual numbers.

>>1789475
Because Big Match James Ellsworth wasn't in the main event

No hope.

This is for the best. Should be celebrating actually.

I`m surprise theyre that high, between the WWE network and pirating I assumed the only people who still watch things on the tv are 60 year olds.

>>1789516
The whole point of the wrestling BUSINESS is to draw money. If HBK didn't draw money, than he is not the GOAT. Simple as that.

>>1789609
And fucking SpongeBob has been on since 1999. If Nickelodeon started airing new episodes of that on Tuesday, will that be used as an excuse too?

It's because NCIS came on with a new season, followed by a show starring an old NCIS actor

fucking NCIS, idk why normies love this show so much lol. But lots of shows took a dip last night because of it

>>1789757
And many shows are getting increasingly popular. Football must be at an all-time high in popularity. Face it, the ratings are dropping because the show isn't good.

>>1789996
does spongebob get 16 million viewers?

>>1790007
The point is, Smackdown lost that many viewers because it wasn't a good enough show to compete with NCIS hype.

>>1789569
Alexa was great you fat cunt. Becketty ruined it

>>1790017
and neither was anything else
SD was still #1 in cable ratings
NCIS just shitfucked everything else on TV

I realized recently that the only reason I watch wrestling is the entrances, and I feel like a lot of others feel this way and don't realize it. The second most popular PPV, Royal Rumble, is just an entrance marathon and for the parts of the match that aren't entrances or countdowns, the crowd looks bored out of their skulls.

The only cure for this is a hardcore match and these days they are as rare as they are pussified. Old promos were also good but without coked-up roid wrasslers they just don't catch my attention.

>Start WWE Network as a plan to remain competitive as cable goes the way of the dodo
>Surprised when nobody's watching the shitfest of commercials on USA network etc.
>Still can't satisfy WWE Network subscribers because even in the face of diminishing cable viewership they STILL remain so cucked by USA that they won't put episodes of RAW or SD online for a month after taping

Cable viewers can't see the storylines culimnate for Network PPVs, and network cucks can't watch the cable shit to know why two wrestlers are even fighting at a PPV

>>1790172
ikr if youre going to make the viewer go the extra step, the product better be top fucking notch. too much garbage to sift through.

>>1790172
they started the network because the fucking ppv buyrates were fucking embarrassingly bad

>>1790160
I've thought the same thing and just wince at the mere notion that people only like wrestling because there might be someone that comes out in a colorful get-up to a particular song of a particular genre and they may even use fireworks.

Kinda sad, really sad.

Feels great

>>1789475
AJ had no match. I'm happy they gave him the night off, though I'm sure he wrestled the dark match main even. Probably lost.

No AJ = NO VIEWS
