What happened to Sanity? Â Or Jose? Nikki Cross? Sanity are on Smackdown. Well, I say on Smackdown, they don't often compete. Eric Young did this week, though. Nikki Cross lost a qualifier on Raw, I think, for a spot in the women's Elimination Chamber (teaming with Alicia Fox). No Way Jose is probably on Main Event, I didn't even realise that was still a thing until I stumbled upon it on Sky the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Ageing Vince is losing his marbles, that is fairly obvious and accepted. But he's not so far gone that he's sweating an indie outfit led by pudgy mid life crisis Jericho and Cody Rhodes. A promotion that, despite leaking rumors to big Dave about how close they were to an amazing TV deal about two months ago, have yet to confirm anything at all about it.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 No Way Jose is absolutely appalling though. Why didn't they just keep Adam Rose? Absolutely baffled why the NXT barricade slappers didn't boo him out of the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really liked him in NXT, he did a few good fiery babyface promos and his matches, while never spectacular, were decent midcard stuff. You kind of knew he would end up one-note on the main roster, but I never suspected he’d end up at the absolute bottom of the pile like he has done.

Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted February 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 Vince McMahon just announced on twitter that Roman will be on this coming Raw to address the status of his battle with leukaemia. Hopefully it’s good news and he can start making a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 22, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2019 That feels like a mad panic ratings fix, though there was talk around the gossip sites that Vince is pushing for Reigns to be back for Wrestlemania, and that we might be getting Reigns/Ambrose/Strowman vs. Corbin/Lashley/McIntyre, which sounds dire. I'm guessing Reigns will be at Wrestlemania in some capacity, even if he's not wrestling - celebrating with Rollins, at the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam O'Rourke Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Knocked up a chart on Raw audience retention for people to digest, tying it in to the advertised last segment...interesting to see how severe the audience drop-off problem was in the aftermath of Roman leaving.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted February 22, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2019 So the only time the ratings didn't drop was the Christmas Eve show? That possibly means something...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam O'Rourke Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Well, way I see it is that that week, the show started so low that the people watching were the ones who weren't going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted February 22, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2019 The bigger drop offs do seem to tie in to the bigger first hour numbers though. The extra 200,000 or so people who seem to not watch every week definitely don't sit and watch for three hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
