- Smackdown last week did a 1.87 cable rating with an average viewing audience of 2,626,000 viewers on SyFy.

The May 18 episode of WWE SmackDown did 1.81 cable rating with 2,803,000 viewers.

Viewership decreased.

Memorial Day weekend. Viewership is always lower during this weekend.

 

[DesolationRow]

Not bad at all, particularly considering the holiday weekend.

 

[HardNocks]

Less than 3 million viewers. Ouch.

Less than 3 million viewers. Ouch.

It's only going to get worse as summer progresses and people go on vacation.

Well, Mark Henry's not World Champion right now.

No surprise the viewership went down, that's what happens when you have ADR and Orton in the ME.

Not to mention the fact that it sucks but hey soon it will have more Cena on it.

This is only...the...10000000th time you've said this? It's getting old.

But it's true.

Just like every time you go into a Punk/Bryan/AJ thread posting how it's a terrible feud, or go into a DB thread saying he's boring. unk2

Why do people not only care, but think the rating is bad anyways?

SD was still the 2nd most watched show on cable tv. The most watched on primetime friday night. So who cares if the rating is a 1.7 or 1.8.

 

[Amsterdam]

The lack of Aksana is obviously responsible for this lower rating. I'm sure the online viewership for Superstars went up. :troll

Who stays home on a Friday night to watch wrestling.

I watch SD on Friday nights, but I'm technically not at home. TV at work.

You out and about getting money while watching Smackdown. There's nothing wrong with that. I wish i could watch my favorite tv shows at work.
