Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 5, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2020 under any other circumstances I'd guess that was done to protect Reigns by not showing him take the pin. It's a weird choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Don't really think it's a story, as has already been discussed on the forum its probably an out of sight, out of mind thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 5, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2020 Little irritates me more than Seth Rollins swinging the belt round his head. What a fucking dweeb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted May 5, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2020 Having been the idiot that originally suggested Vince was pissed with Reigns taking his legitimate health concerns and going home, it is just getting pettier, I doubt now is the time they're protecting Reigns by not showing him losing. Unless this is the creative way HHH meant when they'd explain that Roman was out of the match with Goldberg and what he meant was we're all now wondering if we collectively hallucinated Reigns ever existing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird choice. It's definitely not that. The deletion of Roman Reigns has extended to the WWE.com front page and YouTube channel as well.   Put Roman in the Hall of Fame ffs. Remember his career, not the minor incident that ended it.

Mr Kennedy Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Well I for one am shocked that it turns out that Vince McMahon is an asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyUK Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hope Drew eventually gets the chance to have part of his reign in front of a live crowd (and would be nice for him to get back over here with it) before Brock inevitably wins it back. He's doing a great job so far and there's still fairly fresh feuds with the likes of Styles, Orton, Mahal and potentially even Joe after he's through with Rollins so there's no rush unless they panic over ratings. The long matches for the sake of it are becoming even more apparent in front of no crowd though. It was that six man tag last week and the Viking Raiders/Street Profits match this week.     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergio Bellend Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Only really started watching the full shows for the first time in years during the lockdown as there’s nothing else on to watch, but are there always so many squash matches on Raw, or is it just because of the current ‘situation’? Smacky D doesn’t seem to have as many, but this was the first week since Mania that hasn’t been full of them. Before yesterday every match on Raw went either 90 seconds or 30 minutes. Edited May 5, 2020 by Sergio Bellend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Raw rating was its lowest ever. USA can’t be best pleased. Also, WWE was supposed to have four hours on FS1 tonight, but the listing for the show at 10pm is blank when I just checked - might just be my computer, but looks like FS1 have cut one hour out of the block.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted May 5, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 5, 2020 @King Pitcos do you see viewers returning once Lockdown is over or do you think ratings will stay this low? Like it's not so much like a Soap in that you can quite easily watch a lot recapped on YouTube and catch up, but do you think people will bother? I haven't a clue in how the usual YouTube views are different to the current ones in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smackdown was also the lowest since the move to Fox. Will be interesting to see  if NXT sees a similar decline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 To give ratings chat context, what are the rest of the shows on fox and USA doing ratings wise? Or just wrestling down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
