Smarks getting worked by the professional smarks into rooting against WWE as a company, who are the heels, is hilarious.

At a certain point you have to realize it’s barely different than the toddler who thinks it’s real passionately rooting against Baron Corbin.

The entire business is a work. Meltzer or Alvarez is a CM PUNK face cutting promos on what he tells you is a heel WWE.

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

They might not have no choice. If they axed they would probably get picked up by a smaller network and even less TV ad revenue.

watch them move Brock Lesnar to SDLive :mjlol:

Brock won't save them. I'm going to enjoy when they flop. :mjgrin:


This would be the perfect time to start another US national company. :mjgrin:

The fukk are you even saying? :what: Losing viewers year after year isn't a "work". It's reality. This is what they get for being on cruise control and being aloof to their audience.

On the one hand, it is going to be on fox which is in more homes than the USA network (especially for No Cable gang)

But on the other hand it’s on a Friday night. :patrice:

One thing is for sure, the current product would have to change for viewership to go up

This. If they kept it on a Tuesday/Wednesday night when people are actually home, I'd think they would have a fighting chance. Especially with some of the stories and feuds SD has going for it right now.

Friday night is traditionally one step away from the graveyard

Let's put this into perspective...

NFL ratings used to be in 20 million plus range

This year it's down to the 15-20 million range

The NBA ratings are usually around 10-15 million depending on the game

WWE has consistently been around the 2-3 million area

This lines up with the overall popularity of wrestling in our current generation and culture

3.3 million on a Friday will be a hard target to reach considering ratings are down for everything and continue to go in that direction...
