>This week's post-Backlash edition of WWE SmackDown, featuring new WWE Champion Jinder Mahal plus Shinsuke Nakamura & AJ Styles vs. Dolph Ziggler & WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens in the main event, drew 2.328 million viewers. This is up from last week's 2.175 million viewers for the Backlash go-home show, which was a new low for 2017.
BIG POPPA POO IS SAVING WWE
That was probably Randy's last title run of his career. There's no excuses for a 13 time champ being such a fucking nodraw.

Wew that was damn close to beating raw this week.
When's it going to happen bros?
>skyrocket
>the same rating they got three weeks ago
A brand new champ barely nudges the ratings up. This is proof if any that the ratings are still heading in a downward motion.

Confirming what we all know, only old people still watch television.
This happens literally every time there's a new champion. AJ got higher ratings when he won the title last year

You can't hinder Jinder. Big Poo is a ratings machine. He is like Roman Reigns without the X-Pac heat. Basically he is everything Vince wanted Ramen to be.

>>2687286
Randy is relatively young and Vince will always need a transitional champion. In the other hand, Randy seems to be tired of wrestling and trying to become a part-timer
>>2687551
I wish he'd try to become retired. Guy gets paid $2 million for years to be bland and average in everything.
He's so smug about it too yet he is fucking terrible. B+ as fuck.
>barely 100k increase on a post PPV episode
>next week it's going to be lower than 2 weeks ago

Only 100k more pajeets than usual managed to stay up and watch their new punjobber champion. Shame.

Randy can be pretty good. It's just that he's constantly jobbed to people, and never allowed to be a gruesome heel. He naturally doesn't fit being a face, and WWE is too polished to let him be the kind of heel that would draw dimes. He's still the kind of guy who no one is surprised at him main eventing a PPV, so he's already better than most others on the roster.
>>2687402
That was a legit flash knockout. Based Jinder saved us from Balor and got a title run for it
>3rd lowest rating of the year
It only looks good because last week bottomed out hard.
>>2688081
>saved us from Balor
He wrestled on RAW the following week and has a #1 Contenders' Match at the next PPV
>>2687339
Birds aren't a species you fucking dipshit
>>2687286
Do you listen to any podcast? I always here folks, Austin included, go on about how Randy has all the potential and the world and he just squanders it. I legit think he might have some heat backstage for being lazy, but the popularity of the RKO meme helps keep in top of the card.
>>2689065
>potential
He's been wrestling for nearly 20 years. If he actually had that "potential" he would've actualised it by now, instead of having one of the shittiest bodies of work ever.
>I always here
>>2689065
>a years old meme keeps him on top of the card
holy shit you are dumb no wonder you work at a gas station
>>2689079
More children have seen Randy RKO the Hulk than they have seen Randy actually wrestle.
SNL just did an old Hollywood skit with The Rock titled RKO Studios and the Youtube comments were full of disappointed people saying they expected Randy to show up.

Orton doesn't want to be the center of the show.
It's obvious he prefers to help put some newer kids over.He probably pushed hard backstage for Jinder push.
>>2689220
I could see that being the case. I bet he doesn't enjoy being a face either.
>>2687277
based
>>2689241
he mentioned numerous times in interviews, twitter etc. that he actually hates being babyface.
>>2690025
Orton just oozes the presence of being a prick, which is for the better.
Between the fake arson and real gym bag shitting, Orton cannot convince the most retarded baby that he is a good person
So what do they have to do to keep the ratings up, make people hate him even more?
>>2687277
He truly did it. Not only won the title but the ratings. If only he had any merchandising I'm sure he would get a good number as well.

>>2687277
What was up with his voice on Smackdown?
>>2690724
he was pushed too fast and cant cut a promo in a loud heel voice without it cracking
>>2690758
I reckon he over exerted his heel voice and fucked up his larynx temporarily. He's been going too hard with that fake raspy voice.
