Last night's episode of WWE NXT on Syfy scored a 1.0 rating and averaged 1.22 million viewers, which was down 6.5 percent compared to last week's show.
TV viewership for Week 7 last night was in the middle of the pack looking all seven weeks of the show thus far. It wasn't in the low 1.10 million viewer range and didn't build on last week's show that recovered to 1.30 million viewers.
The following is a look at the viewership pattern the first seven weeks of the show.
Week 1 - 1.70 million viewers
Week 2 - 1.73 million viewers (up 1.8%)
Week 3 - 1.30 million viewers (down 24.9%)
Week 4 - 1.16 million viewers (down 10.6%)
Week 5 - 1.08 million viewers (down 7.1%)
Week 6 - 1.30 million viewers (up 20.6%)
Week 7 - 1.22 million viewers (down 6.5%)

I'll say this, NXT vs Impact is a lot more interesting than Raw vs Impact.

I will say this,If I was a regular Joe,and I turned the channel to what I thought was wrestling and saw a Keg carrying competition,I would not stay long.

Frito, at least it wasn't one of those Divas Search competitions. A) Hot women in skimpy clothing doing silly (and probably somewhat sexual) things vs. B) wrestler you've never heard of carrying a keg of beer for some stupid reason. Yeah, I think I'd go with choice A. |

That's some dropoff, considering Raw was basically one big commercial for NXT (from what I saw in the second hour).

They went in billing it as something new and exciting, TUF like and instead got another ECW AND Cole insulting them. There is a lesson to be learned but, damned if WWE will see it.

I know I hate it when heels start insulting people. It's almost enough to make me stop wanting to cheer them. In other news, the way things are going there might not be a second season of NXT after all. I really doubt Sy Fy are happy with it pulling the same numbers that ECW did at the death. |

I know I hate it when heels start insulting people. It's almost enough to make me stop wanting to cheer them. All Cole makes me do is turn the channel or mute the TV. Hardly what I would hope they were going for but, again, that is just me. I wouldn't call him a good heel (or even a heel) at all. |

No one on the show is booked right
Bryan hasn't won a match but comes off as a cocky idiot
Otunga's the biggest heel on the roster apparently but does nothing heelish ON NXT! on top of that in front of a National Audience Bryan told him he can't wrestle
Barrett is supposed is the biggest guy on the roster yet consistently eats finishers on SD for Jericho and has jobbed to Justin Gabriel
Gabriel was the first to beat a pro and beat Barrett and then they did nothing for him except get him beaten down
Sheffield has been given less attention than Michael Cole
At no point have they made Tarver look good
Young has been treated and shown as a joke since day one
Slater was undefeated up until for some reason they thought it was a good idea for him to get killed by Kane

Bryan is cocky?
He said he didn't think he should be ranked first. How is that cocky?

Aside from the ratings issue, the NXT format itself is a bust. With ECW, you had whole groups of new stars going to the main show at draft time. Now you're gonna whittle it down to one. What happens to the other seven? Do they get released or sent back to developmental? If so, you've wasted their time and your own. If they find their way to a main show anyway, then you've undermined the whole concept of your new show.
