If they're having him suddenly appear on Raw, plus a GMA appearance...this seems like it's either going to be REALLY, REALLY GOOD or REALLY, REALLY BAD. No in between. (Considering the GMA thing, that seems positive since he'd presumably have to fly to NY for the taping.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 You know, saying this is an elaborate work is Jesse Ventura levels of dumb, but the fact that they are clearly using the dude's cancer for ratings and attention is still gross. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he looks in great shape and was shooting a movie, I'd say his treatment is going well. Not going to lie though, I'd find it funny as hell if he came out to say he was going to pursue a movie career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I have a feeling maybe he's gonna work Mania in some way. Maybe as a special referee in a match or maybe as the host. Ratings were actually way up this week for both RAW and SDL but I attribute that to Kofimania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will say what they will about Owen’s wife but she knew all along what this business and Vince are like and although I’m as bummed as anyone about Owen basically getting the Benoit lite treatment as far as remembrance because of her actions. If it helped prevent even one exploitive pile of bullshit from Vince’s twisted mind not to transpire then so be it. Fuck Vince. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 1 minute ago, Niners Fan in CT said: Easy. It was the night after Elimination Chamber. So people tuned in to RAW expecting Smackdown stars (besides Becky & Charlotte) to be on a completely different brand? Keep stretchin'. Quote "While some will credit the NXT guys debuting, the ratings pattern indicates something different. The 3,046,000 viewer first hour was the highest-rated hour of Raw since 8/27 (overall it was the best number since the 9/3 show did 2,873,000 viewers on average). From there, the 20.7 drop from hour one to hour three was the seventh worst of all-time. That more indicates something happened at the PPV that caused a ton of curiosity, but once people saw the early part of the show, they tuned out in near record numbers. My best explanation would be the angle with Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair, and once it was made clear Lynch wasn’t on the show, that was it. Rousey was pushed on the show, but it was also a match against the woman she beat quickly the night before. There is almost always a big bump for the first hour after a PPV show, but this was well above usual levels." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 WWE hasn't been real strict on who appears where but even if you want to credit RAW to the women's angle, SDL had their highest number in many months. #Kofimania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Yeah I'm perfectly fine attributing Smackdown's ratings to Kofi Kingston. If he played a factor in any fan's mind to tune into RAW after Elimination Chamber, these fans are stupid (and fickle). I also don't know why you're using hashtags on a message board like this is Twitter or something, but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing to add to the Kofimania debate. It's been a long day and I'm well past the point of needing sleep, so I guess that's why I mis-read Kofimania as Kalifornia. Kofi as a redneck serial killer would be an interesting direction to take. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The ratings increase this week is a typical post-PPV bump, of which Kofi did play a part. But the numbers aren't dependent on him. As far as Roman goes, I can't imagine this being bad news. I don't see Vince having him announce that his cancer has taken a bad turn and making everyone sad. With Roman being scheduled for Good Morning America next Tuesday, my guess is his treatment is going well with his in-ring return to be determined at a later date. They'll have him interact with Seth and Dean, naturally. Probably slug Corbin for stealing the Shield's triple power bomb at Elimination Chamber. I suspect some of this may be for a morale booster to the locker room. A few wrestlers have posted "We miss him" type messages on IG over recent weeks. With Mark Henry being brought in to be Vince's monitor, the locker room may be clamoring to see Roman right now. I'm cautiously optimistic. I feel the news will be that things are going in the right direction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 For all intents and purposes, Ambrose is already a face again, and was likely made one by defacto once WWE officially announced he's leaving after his current contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I really did find it amazing that they spent so of RAW building to a rematch of a 90 second squash the night before. I actually was thinking about how that can't possibly sustain the ratings all night, but damn that's a huge drop. Roman cutting a feel good promo and Becky getting involved with the birthday celebration to advance that angle sounds like a pretty good foundation for next week's show to build around. It can't possibly end up as random and haphazard feeling as this week did. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
