There are 1.2 mil people who just leave their TVs on Fox Friday nights so their dogs feel like someone is at home.

Pretty clear that the low rating is Gable's fault for not trying enough with the Shorty G gimmick.

The GIF in the OP has revealed the answer to all of WWE’s problems, the main event of Wrestlemania must be... The Miz vs the corpse of the Ultimate Warrior Gotta be honest, I would tune in for that. Hell, I’d probably even buy a month sub to the Network for that.

I still want to know how they managed to convince Fox to pay them a jillion dollars for something that hasn't gained viewers in like 20 years.

Fox lost UFC and they were in the right place at the right time for a rebound for that same demo, they both believed at the time Now the belief has to be "the freefall will stop at some point", which 1) I wouldn't bet on, and 2) even if it did, "at some point" ain't necessarily "anytime soon"

It kinda makes sense that most viewers just see WWE is background noise and only the hardcore fans who have had their brains broken by years of exposure to the poo poo Vince's deranged mind comes up with would actually go out of their way to watch Smackdown. With that said, holy lol they got smoked by a tshirt company lmao forever.

Vertical Lime posted:because the rest of linear tv is doing even worse This has already been proven wrong multiple times but for a refresher course for those this is New Info to: First quarter 2016 to first quarter 2017: Raw down at twice the pace of other USA programming, at thrice the pace of other top 25 cable networks  Fourth quarter 2017 to fourth quarter 2018 (I forget the exact time but the Fox deal was signed either before or during 4Q2018): Raw and SD both down at thrice the pace of other USA programming, at double the pace of other top 25 cable networks  First quarter 2018 to first quarter 2019: Raw and SD both down at over double the pace of other top 25 cable networks  TL;DR TV in general may not be doing great, but it ain't doing near as bad at near the speed all WWE has been doing recently All images comes from WWE's own accounts

Imagine taking time out of your day to actively defend a huge company that thinks you're an idiot for watching their programs and actively shits on you for doing so while giving you a terrible product because they think you know what you want better than you do The levels of broken brains are off the charts

I'm sure smackdown will have a skit next where they use a wrestler as a stand in for the audience and tell them how dumb and stupid they are for not appreciating good poo poo

The only bigger names they could get in their (Vince's) eyes is getting the rock and stone cold to show up again randomly.

The Hogan and Flair segment did much better than the rest of the show too when they brought em back recently, obviously the impact is lessened the more often you go back to that well tho.

If Ricochet’s a real life spider man he should keep a mic nearby so he can make cheesy quips between moves

Even the WWE base that always tunes in on Cable for Smackdown couldn't be bothered to set their DVR to record on FS1. More people watched AEW Dark on YouTube than Smackdown last week.... 888,000 people bothered to watch Smackdown, yet some of these segments on YouTube exceeded those numbers

The crazy thing is a lot of Fox affiliates around the country rebranded themselves as "the station for sports" pushing the WWE hard as one of those sports. There's some theory that Fox is going to go hard after the NBA in three years with the idea of bringing regular season weeknight games back to network TV but I wonder if this puts a dent in that or WWE (rightfully) takes the brunt of the blame. SUN GOD AVATAR posted:Real talk, god, I bet and know this is actually a thing. I know Neilsen has tried to do things like measure active viewing but I don't know how successful that's been and I don't recall anyone sharing the numbers.
