SmackDown Viewership Plummets After Last Week's FOX Premiere

[The G.O.D II]

You don’t remember seeing that breh

I don’t watch this shyt. I just cruised by Fox channel surfing trying to find the bulls game and saw Aikman/Joe Buck with the most phony enthusiasm talking about the draft like it was real

 

[Ripp]

Matches were trash

 

[krackdagawd]

nikkas tuned in saw that it was still trash and booked

 

[THE 101]

Checked to see RAW's viewership and that shyt is at 2.3 million


WWE gonna finish these current contracts with a viewership below 1.5 million

Who knows what they will get offered next. I'm not sure below 1.5 million will be necessarily bad for a network like USA (FOX will ax them sooner or later unless something unexpected and incredible happens with their product) by 2023 but there's no fukking way the TV deal bubble doesn't burst before then.


We are probably gonna get the GOAT 'deavor season in 2021

King of Sports bout to be the last game in town once WWE and AEW's TV deals crash and burn

That undefeated streak

They really had the FOX robot

Aikman and Buck looked like they didn’t want to be there

I wanna know who put together the USA segments. Their room was all dingy and I'm pretty sure one of them was a werewolf or someshyt.

No, I was referring to that Gif you quoted with Vince telling this guy to puke.

That was legit from an old documentary.

They even pulled out a trash can and all hoping this guy was going to puke on command in the boardroom of WWFs Titans Towers HQ

AEW got 1.14 including Tru TV. You likely knew this but decided it would sound better if you pretended to forget they were on two networks.

Okay that’s Fine. Either way Their ratings “only” dropped by 20+% ... not 25%

WWE also was without Dish and Sling customers for a while so that affected their ratings, but you don’t wanna mention that

Just saying, you can’t have it both ways and only rag on WWE for a ratings drop when AEW had a massive drop off as well.

I actually watched it on TRU

 

[Larry]

Smackdown falling to an average of 2.51 million last night being awful while AEW falling down to barely topping the 1 million mark in only their second week being applauded really shows how there’s levels to this shyt



“Ya best success is my worst blunder”



With that said, smackdown was fukkin trash


Get these nikkas outta here

They already ahead of the curve. The TV bubble burst 30 years ago and MMA people fukking up their business was 15 years ago. King Of Sports got that experience factor going of them

Smackdown loses ratings and it’s all LOL’s and Fox is already regretting the decision, ready to cancel the deal, the sky is falling, etc.. despite still being the number 1 draw on Friday nights

AEW loses ratings and is barely over the million mark and it’s perfectly fine and all is well. Business is booming!

Got it.

Will be interesting to see if there is an “AEW’s second week ratings PLUMMETS” thread considering they dropped 25% as well just like Smackdown did.

1,400,000 to just over 1,000,000 (25%+ drop)


or does that not fit the agenda?

Which means people didn't like the show and wisely tuned out, that's what happens when you give people a 10min Corbin vs Gable match
