Smackdown Viewership On FOX Declines Once Again

[jadillac]

AEW only had 6 matches, you really think that’s too much?

I think aew needs more matches. One thing wcw did well early on with nitro was quick matches. Aew has guys like MJF who haven't been on since the first 10 mins of the first episode.

You need to build those guys every week

Respectfully

How many matches do you think spose to be on a 2 hr show?

Technically it isn't a 2 hour show tho.

If you take out the commercials, it's really about 80-90mins.

they were promoting "one time only" on FS1 next week, shyt bout to be permanent

Theres no cool angle(The NWO) or cool character (Austin, Rock) that can draw.

Plus you have Strowman out there dressing like a cotdamn kitten and we supposed to beleive he can take Fury?

 

[Tres Leches]

Whole smack down show has no direction, last time they had it was the kofi buildup

 

[MenacingMonk]

If you saw the thread numbers, this shouldn’t be surprising.

Still remember seeing a picture on Twitter of him in a Wonder Women outfit

Friday night is always bad night for programming, but FOX thought that WWE was still hip.

Not to mention College Football is creeping into Friday nights for watchable games even more.

This is a Wrestling problem as people don't care for live programming anymore aside from sports. Everything is streamable. WWE doesn't understand this and trouble will continue.

getting emotional over ratings if this play fighting trash is what keeps your sad pathetic reality together and you don’t want anyone to pop your bubble, go ahead and ignore me because I don’t need to be blamed for whatever you do to yourself when AEW gets canceled at some point



And lames acting like being an AEW markkk is somehow the “cool” thing to be now when the audience is 100% crakkkas

If your judgement of wrestling is scoping black dudes in a crowd then you fail

oversaturation

Fox overpaid for this shyt but hey their money not mine. The honeymoon phase will run thin going into next year.

I disagree.

I feel like one of the only things aew is doing right is not exposing the talent.

Young bucks not on every week.
Omega not on every week
Joey janela never on lol
Mjf not on every week.

Makes people want to see these guys more

These are Raw in deceline numbers

Gonna say what the numbers are for the November 1st show after the World Series and Baseball is done.

Yeah I dont know whats up with Wrestling as a whole. It aint popping on TV but a lot of stuff aint popping on TV but has a life on Digital content. Wrestling attedances are down which is a bigger indicator but more people talk about them and are active on wreatling related stuff in all the othe modern metrics

Fox is probably still gonna committ to it and Im sure they had to know of a decline coming but we'll see what happesn after 2024

Vinny Mac better wake up and realize this isn’t cable no more and he can’t get away with shyt like this no more.

This is NETWORK television we’re talking about and Fox WILL pull the plug with the QUICKNESS if the ratings get lower.

Wrestling is dead. Let's just change this subforum to "Old sitcoms and cereals discussion".

I do need a place to talk about the GOAT 'Cheers'
