NikoBaltimore Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 10 minutes ago, RIPPA said: Not necessarily - if you assume most places are using Nielsen ratings and Nielsen either uses live viewing on live viewing + same day DVR viewing (at least in the common reporting you see). The average person - most likely - isn't going to be able to watch their recording in time. Yes it wouldn't affect overall viewing - especially assuming Turner/TNT would get the reports that show how many people watched their AEW recording withing 3 days (and how many watched within 7 days) - but look at now. RAW and SDL ratings are reported as live viewing. We never hear about the "(insert number here) people watched RAW within the week" So - technically - yes it would hurt the ratings Well, in that case I'll watch AEW live and NXT either after that or next day.

Technico Support Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 For the digital primer and/or kickoff show, designed to introduce new fans to the WWE talent, I hope they just do an hour-long Wrestlerock Rumble style rap where each guy introduces himself in rhyme. Quote FOX wants everyone to promote WWE as a legitimate sport, not that the outcomes are real, but that it is a choreographed sports presentation So like figure skating or synchronized swimming? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The MLB Postseason schedule is out and that means that officially the 10/15 Smackdown will be on FS1 (due to a game being on FOX) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 And per Meltzer - the touring schedule when Smackdown on FOX begins will be RAW: Friday - Sunday - House Shows, TV Monday (Off Days - Tuesday through Thursday) SDL: Thursday - House Show, TV Friday, Sat & Sun House Shows (Off Days - Monday through Wednesday) This won't be the exact schedule every week and folks who have to work both TV shows will clearly have a different schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Getting three days off in a row is a big change, is it not? I'm not up to speed on their schedule these days, seems like that's a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 3 days off in a row has been the norm for quite awhile. But when you factor in the travel on the first day off to get home and the 3rd day off to get back on the road, it's always been just one real full day a week off for them. Grueling schedule, really. This new schedule seems like a good deal for the SmackDown crew, as at least once a month when there's a PPV, a lot of them will get another night off as a good majority will definitely not be booked on those shows. I wonder if they'll still have to travel to be at those shows even if they're not booked, or if they can wait to travel to the house show on Monday.

Niners Fan in CT Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The positive of having the middle of the week off, the beaches will be clear.

I wouldn't mind being by myself, I like running errands and it's a slow day or taking a walk on a slow day. But it's a matter of convenience. Most people are going to have the weekend off so if I'm going to do anything with friends and family it has to be on those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negative of having the middle of the week off, nobody else in the world has the middle of the week off. As someone whose work week goes from Saturday night through Tuesday morning I can relate. Having your schedule clear during the week is nice as far as going places and them being totally deserted is nice, but it's pretty much impossible to have a proper social life.

RIPPA Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 So apparently - they will be expanded to 3 hours of wrestling on Friday It isn't decided yet if it will be one hour on FS1 and then regular Smackdown for 2 hours on FOX Or it if will be 1 hour on the Network, 2 hours on FOX It could be 205Live goes live on the Network (though more likely the show is vanishing) Also that is known is that the plan is for 3 hours live on Fridays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Isn't 205 Live already, uh, live on the Network? Therefore making it a 3 hour block of wrestling on Tuesdays. So, in theory, nothing really changes, unless 205 live is cancelled and it just becomes another hour of Smackdown. But there's already three hours in place on the day Smackdown airs. I'd bet 205 Live gets merged with NXT sooner than later, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
