OCTOBER 2019 WRESTLING CHAT.


Recommended Posts

Wrestling seems sorta funner now than it had been in recent years... idk, maybe it's just because there's more of it aside from the WWE and it's more accessible too (you can watch several feds exclusively on YouTube instead of trying to figure out if you get the channel they're on).

It appears they have made an edit (can't be sure because they lack our handy "Edited _____ by ________" feature) so, does anyone remember what it said? Thanks!

The draft picks were going in the exact order of the draft pool (which explains why the list wasn't in alphabetical order)

People started noticing after the 2nd wave of picks and were talking about it online so I am assuming someone scrambled to edit the website

That's like wanting a pair of Adidas as a kid and your mom gets you the knockoff with four stripes.

I guess I'd ask Rebel about the infamous Shelly Martinez match.

Last night's SmackDown averaged 2.898 million viewers in the overnight ratings, down 25 percent from last Friday's FOX premiere. 

The episode was night one of this year's WWE Draft.

In the key 18-49 demo, SmackDown averaged a 0.95 rating, down from 1.35 last week. 

The only demo where SmackDown didn't fall was in persons 50+. The show averaged a 3 rating in that demo both weeks. 

In comparison to the other networks, FOX trailed both CBS and NBC but beat ABC in terms of total viewers. SmackDown did finish first in the 18-34 and 18-49 demos. 

The first hour of SmackDown averaged 2.925 million viewers, with hour two doing 2.872 million viewers. The drop from the first to second hour was only two percent, a much better audience retention than Raw usually has over the course of its show.

Last week's SmackDown dropped three percent from in the second hour, but with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson appearing in the opening segment, it would've been expected to drop more. 

Final numbers will not be available until Tuesday afternoon but should end up relatively close to this. Last week, the final viewership was up 14,000 from the overnights, a change of just 0.3 percent.

kudos to the person who posted "Perhaps the network which has received the most attention and has become the most well known for the "Friday Night Death Slot" has been Fox" on the 'Friday Night Death Slot' Wikipedia entry.

I'd be curious to see what the numbers look like in November when some more people are kept at home due to weather instead of being able to go out and do anything else on Friday nights. Although I do suspect that part of the ratings expectations are unrealistic because of the demo they're aiming for and the nature of ratings in 2019.

That being said, nothing about Eric Bischoff's post-1998 track record makes me think that he'll stick around for long if they need somebody to blame for ratings. No matter how little he actually has to do with things.

I wonder if that's the settling in number or if the draft garnered more interest and itll be like 2.4 million next week. I mean just because it's FOX doesn't mean the number is going to be that much better than RAW.. we are down to the diehards here. There's like 2.5 million diehards maybe and that's it.
