Per Meltz: Fox wants 3.3 million viewers for SmackDown

[RammerJammer]

Quote: "I know, I was hearing 3.3 million is what they wanted."

He mentions during the mailbag segment that he expects a 25% bump cause Fox is in more homes.

So WWE's got 10 months to figure out how to get at least around 650,000 viewers back, which is more than 30% of their current audience.

He also speculates that when the show moves, Fox might second-guess the deal and they probably will if the only get 2.0 - 2.5 million viewers one month or three months in.

Fox really might cancel SD, or at least ship them to FS1

I called this a few months ago. Fox not fukking around with Vince.

Even if they go to FS1 they won't be on the channel for long.

Smackdown will end up on the network.

Vince finally got what he wanted, with getting a regular primetime slot on one of the major broadcast networks (given, Fox is nowhere on the level of ABC, CBS, or NBC, but still)...........it just happens to come at one of the worst periods the company has gone through in a VERY long time. Damn, homie.

The last time SmackDown pulled over a 3.0 was in March 2007. It's gonna be an uphill battle for them.

They won't put it on The Network because they'll lose all of that TV ad revenue.

If they fire Assdogg and actually get a real creative team in there...

Allow the wrestlers to have more than 5 moves they can use in the ring...

Don't end matches with shytty finishes or every match with interference....

This is not gonna work. Might as well starting imagining the evil Network stable vs team smackdown now.
