**All TV Ratings, Buys, Draw Talk Here**

THE RATINGS WAR PART IV:

Yeah, a new thread to talk about numbers and all that other pointless crap that comes with wrestling. So chat away about how someone's segment only drew so many viewers and how it's all their fault.

It's the numbers WAR, where marks and shit cry and moan over a bunch of numbers to try and justify their points of view.

I actually expected a worse rating, because the Slammy's always suck and do terrible ratings, as the fans learnt a long time ago that they are not worth the watch. Also, it's 4 days before Christmas, it's the holiday season, so yeah compared to the last year's ratings it might look bad, but for 2015 it's actually a decent rating for a holiday season show

Put on a shit show and ratings will be shit.

Last weeks Raw started with Stephanie and Reigns in the ring but we got an announcement that Vince was coming so that brought interest. This weeks Raw started with Stepahnie and Reigns in the ring but all we got was Usos vs. New Day and Ambrose vs. Sheamus. Quite the come down on last week.

WWE Raw rating for the December 21, Slammy Awards edition

Monday’s WWE Raw scored a 2.33 rating, down from the 2.66 rating the show drew last week. Raw averaged 3.377 million viewers, down from the 3.88 million average from last week.

Powell’s POV: Raw lost 500,000 viewers from last week, but it’s still a decent number when compared to some of the numbers they were delivering prior to last week. The December 22, 2014 edition of Raw delivered a 2.66 rating with 3.521 million viewers. The 2014 Slammy Awards aired on December 8 last year and produced a 2.66 rating with 3.70 million viewers.

Are we still blaming Talent for the ratings? Look I am not Reigns biggest fan. But I agree by proxy by being the world champion, he is the main focus. So of course he is going to be the scapegoat. Just like Rollins was. Their is no distinction between the two. You can call Punk the Scapegoat for poor ratings, you could say Bryan was, Rollins was, Sheamus was, and Now Reigns is. The reason why the ratings are poor, is because hardly anyone is watching cable or network tv these days. Ratings have declined by 10-11% the past year alone. And it is December, ratings are usually low. IT is going to take an overall, fundamental change of the product to increase ratings. The time of a draw is gone. Rollins nor Reigns well change much, just enjoy them for very different reasons. And stop placing blame on the talent, they don't book the show.

In all fairness to the live version, doesn't that usually do less than the taped shows (since people are used to taped editions)? If so, Ambrose really came through and his IC Title reign kept SD from sinking even further.

If however they usually do better and this decrease is out of the ordinary, then Reigns fails to draw again and needs to be de-pushed before he sinks the ship as a whotrolololle.

Live Smackdown always "flops" in numbers because WWE usually does a shitty job of telling viewers it's LIVE on a different night. I didn't watch Raw so I don't know how they advertised this week's Smackdown. It's still a larger number than usual in comparison to the previous week's taped version iirc, which points to most people just getting it out of the way in time for Christmas Eve because who the hell is gonna watch Smackdown on Christmas Eve?

WWE Smackdown rating: Final numbers for the December 22 live special


Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown scored a 1.53 rating, down from the previous week’s 1.68 rating. The show averaged 2.264 million viewers, down from last week’s 2.332 million viewers.

Powell’s POV: The number was down, but WWE will double dip with a replay of Smackdown tonight on Syfy. The December 19, 2014 Smackdown delivered a 1.51 rating with 2.027 million viewers. The December 19 show was a replay of a show that aired live earlier in the week.

I love how when the WWE beats sporting events they include that in the Twitter numbers but when they lose to them, they don't so they can claim they were #1 no matter what.
The WWE is always fudging the numbers to claim they were #1 .

Also just because you have a high twitter impressions doesnt mean its positive tweets lol And based on last nights show, it was probably mostly bad.
