Paid Members Benno Posted February 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Something about the Rock being stuck in the UK channel surfing and coming across that Channel 4 doc about the Knights at 3 in the morning is great. Â Â Genuinely hope big Dwayne has been on here reading the Paige thread as part of his research. Edited February 8, 2017 by Benno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted February 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2017 Mike Adamle's been diagnosed with dementia. His commentary doesnt seem quite as funny hearing that. Doctors suspect CTE is the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2017 That's a shame to hear. I just had to see whether it was from his football career or racking my brain for any bumps he may have had to take during his time in WWE.

Paid Members Benno Posted February 8, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 8, 2017 Did a thing on the WWE UK viewership from January 2014 (when they renewed their contract with Sky) until now. This is the live 1am airing plus 7 days Sky Plus etc of that airing. Â (Spoilered for those who can't be arsed) Â Â Â Â Â Â The trend with the averages each year is worrying for a new deal (it's due 2019). In 2017 so far, the average is even lower at 52,000, but you'd imagine that will pick up. Â Worth noting that separate from the above, there are the weekday repeats in the afternoons and evenings on Sky Sports 5 etc which can't be accounted for as they often do lower viewership than publically available in the BARB top 10 stats I'm looking at. Â As a general guide, in January they've ranged from as many as 25k viewers for an evening repeat, to the daytime repeats going lower than 10k. Â Â Â Â Â Â Looking at Raw vs Smackdown Live since the Roster Split - they mirror each other generally with something of a spike in interest around this year's big Survivor Series. The buzz around Goldberg certainly seems to have helped, especially the week before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted February 8, 2017 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 8, 2017 Interesting stuff Benno. We may grumble about mining Attitude Era stars rather than creating new ones, but you can't argue with Goldberg moving the needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It led to the fun that always is old men watching wrestling (going from cynic to mark in the space of a match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can argue with it... they wouldn't need Goldberg to move the needle occasionally if they had a young full timer filling the Goldberg role every week. I'm sure WWE would rather have ratings up higher all year round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Kat Von D Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think Jesse Ventura could have beaten Trump if he had ran against him. The press have really gone out of their way to discredit him in recent years and he seems to have given up on politics. Been watching a lot of his stuff lately and the bloke is brilliant. Â When he ran for Govenor he did it as a third party on a budget of $300000 while the Democrats and Republicans had a budget of $12000000. Can't remember if that's each or combined. Two months before the elections he had 10% of the voters backing him, he was allowed to join the debates and won everyone over. Pretty sure he is the only person to have done that. Â Imagine if Vince had put money into Ventura for President instead of Linda's failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I'd have always ruled out Ventura because of his 9/11 conspiracy claims, but we now live in a world where I can easily overlook something like that if it means getting the loofa-faced shitgibbon out of the White House. Â And at least Jesse might shut up about that stuff once he had access to all the government's records ("or were they destroyed???!?!?"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
