Smackdown ratings drop 10% from last week

What do they expect, the shows are horrible.

I watch the 35 min highlights on YouTube and have to skim thru those

I did the same. For me to get hyped for SD after watching RAW, AEW, and NXT, it's got to be a popping show not what they've been putting on outside of the NXT invasion episode..

it seems like everything around the WWE is evolving and changing. Everything except the man running the show.

The sad part about SD is that besides that Baron Corbin shyt, it was a good show. But that dog shyt was just

Old man Vince gotta step aside..

it’s sad that they thought that was good television. They need to realize their audience isn’t a bunch of kids. They need to figure out that no one wants to see that goofy shyt

Friday nights on network TV are still a death slot unless you’re Blue Bloods or Hawaii Five-O

I’m guessing their expectations are lower because it’s on Friday. Still it’s a stupid idea to set your new show up for failure like that.

On top of that by Saturday I’m just getting to NXT IF I’ve made it through AEW by then. There’s too much wrestling on tv to be watching wwe continue to be out of touch and have poorly written promos.

I don't think FOX expected them to get more viewers than Hawaii 5-0 or Blue Bloods but I'm pretty sure they were betting on Smackdown getting more viewers than 18-49 for them. Tying with Hawaii 5-0 every week was probably not on their agenda.

A real wrestling company would never do a stupid mascot gimmick!!! Smh

Friday is a horrible night. I mean, after working all week, I'm not trying to sit my ass down on a Friday and watch WWE unless I've got nothing to do. I'd rather go to a bar, show, party, wings, live like I don't have work on Sat, etc... 18-34 years old should be out living it up unless they have a family. Tuesday night was the best night of the week. Especially after holding that slot down for 10 years or whatever. Such a hard sell.

These weekly ratings threads are as bad as the stan wars.

Breh, the ratings threads ARE the Stan wars

This angry man child

Assuming that's the mascot thing everyone was talking about, I can understand bouncing off watching the show. But flipping the bird is amazingly ridiculous.

Low key, one of the best parts of WEE being so trash is seeing the people that have to watch this shyt for work get frustrated with it.

I listen to the POST Wrestling podcasts, and you can tell Pollock is dying to get three hours of his Monday back.

It's why I don't bash the podcasters, because they legit have to review and watch this shyt to get bills paid


All I have to do is post a gif saying I'm in, nah I'm out and I've stopped watching while still getting paid.

Alvarez gotta sit through 5 hours of trash at minimum, average at best programming every week.

Nah it’s been awful when they push the Big Dog. He is a channel changer.
