They may technically be three separate 1 hour shows, which is why you see the copyright at the top of every hour. But Smackdown is just one 2 hour show for some reason.

A 10% drop from last week against the Super Bowl is honestly pretty admirable. Those viewers will be with the company until the day they die. No idea what it would take to get lower

Going against a debate and a football game where like eighty points were scored that's not awful

Football actually lost 4 million viewers and dropped a full third of its audience , so it was basically the debate.

Good number. 2 million people will watch Raw no matter how bad it gets or what else is happening the world. The world could be ending and Raw could be 3 hours of Stephanie and 2 million will still watch.

It make me wonder how they only have 1.49 million subscribers WORLDWIDE, when you have 2 million people so dedicated to watching this show on USA in the states.

There are way too many guys doing topes every match at the moment. So much risk for a move that doesn't even look that good most of the time.

Yeah it's really not even a cool enough move to justify the risk involved. Especially when like 6 guys do them.

honestly Dean's is the scariest of all because he is so critically incompetent at doing it there is no way to tell what he will land on

Most of the guys in WWE seem to be cool with coming down on their shoulders/head. If you watch Cuerno he will use the guy he lands on to swing his feet back under him as he falls.

It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with Turkeys!!



Suicide dives were cool when they didn't happen in every single 10 minute match on Raw. Plus most of the people who do them shouldn't, either because it looks like poo poo (Dean), it looks dangerous as poo poo (Big E), or they have way more impressive moves and don't need that spot (Cesaro).

Soothing Vapors posted:

Smackdown has the opposite problem to Raw though, you have 3 strong faces and then on the heel side the dropoff after AJ is hilarious.

The Miz? Bound to the midcard until he drops the strap, and he should in no way drop it anytime soon.
Bray Wyatt? Dolph Ziggler (eventually)? Baron Corbin? No one cares.

I almost wish you could somehow take the rosters of both shows and like somehow combine them into one unified roster. You could then have wrestlers from both shows fight one another, which might create some fresh and interesting matchups. Also you wouldn't have two incredibly anemic tag and womens' divisions. I don't know if it'd ever be possible, just something to think about
If Raw and SD shared rosters again this is what would happen, you'd have the same guys wrestle each other on Raw and SD and trade wins for eternity until the next feud started

Seth is the worst baby face ever. He's a whiner because he hasn't got a free ticket any more. He comes across like a petulant teen. He needed a promo where he acknowledged the shortcuts he took as being bad, or something at least.

Imagine how much better things would have been if the guy just came back as a face instead of trying to regurgitate his year long heel run.
