King Pitcos Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Â SmackDown spoiler, doesn't relate much to RAW but relates to the general discussion on this thread of WWE's direction as a company. Â Â Tyler Breeze debuts on SmackDown and is hit with Summer Rae. This company has no idea what to do with anyone. I mean who debuts on a SmackDown these days? Â She's a kiss of death. Awful in every respect, and I'd even say uglier than Bayley. Â Â It's harsh to say she's uglier than Bayley, but Summer does have a problem in that looks-wise, she is an uglier version of the prototypical diva. Paige is really good-looking but can get away with physical flaws because she's got her own niche. Bayley's ugliness is part of her gimmick, kind of. And for Summer, the role of Bootleg Lana was perfect -- but separated from that, she'll struggle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK Kat Von D Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Have other long running shows seen similar drops in ratings? Or are the excuses only used in wrestling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I said this a few weeks ago but overall ratings are much lower these days than they used to be because of many more channels, pay services (e.g. Netflix) and online. Â Other than live sport are there many shows these days with higher ratings than in previous years? If you take Eastenders for example, its highest ever rating was 30m back in the early days of the show yet last years big storyline with Lucy was only between 10m-12m and that was its 30th anniversary with much more publicity and advertising (and everyone talking about it).

Ambulance Chaser Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Raw just felt flat to me, I wouldn't necessarily call it terrible or insulting, it just fell I dunno, tired....a tired format, tired feuds that need settling, tired booking. I am so sick of the Wyatt/Reigns/Ambrose dynamic, I can't sit through any more. Kane wasn't on the show, but how long has he been fucking with Rollins now, it goes back a fair way I think to when The Authority were more prominent on the show, hopefully it all ends Sunday.

Briefcase Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 What do we all reckon the Survivor Series big match is going to be this year?  Wouldn't surprise me if they go with something like Kane needing to get his job back so he teams up with Reigns, Ambrose & Orton to take on the Wyatt Family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Â Â Have other long running shows seen similar drops in ratings? Or are the excuses only used in wrestling Did You Know? There are no other long running episodic weekly no off-season action-adventure scripted sports-based television dramas. TONIGHTS THE NIGHT BIG CROWD ALL PEOPLE GET LOUD EVERYBODY GET DOWN Â The build up for the Lesnar/Taker cell match has been really poor, especially compared to the excellent build for Summerslam. I get that they can't both be on the show every week but why not have at least SOME physical interaction on this one? Maybe have Brock ballshot Taker to give him a taste of his own medicine. Something, anything really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton is out with a shoulder injury, that's why they've changed the match on the pre-show. No fucking way are they going to be able to stretch out something involving Reigns and Wyatt into November, it's overstayed it's welcome and needs to end after the cell match this weekend, move bother onto new things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want them to go with what I suggested but this is the WWE after all.  Orton & Cena off tv too means the focus will have to be on Reigns/Ambrose and probably Kane. I would guess Undertaker may also be off TV for a bit after HITC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
