...falling on the same date as election day? With all the talk regarding WWE having to go against MNF and series premieres and the such, why would they intentionally go up against election night coverage?

Disclaimer: This isn't a politics thread; no politics discussion, just date discussion. Oh wow I didn't know it was on Tuesday. Me, kidglov3s. I can't be alone then (though thinking about it they can promote during Raw and probably will, so I'd have known before Tuesday). These super Smackdowns almost always get lower-than-normal ratings. Maybe they had to do one and felt this would give them an excuse for why it's low? |

Vince just knows there a joke he can do that involves Mitt becoming a Baseball mitt and The return of Abe Knuckleball Schwartz, he just hasn't thought through the details so it makes any sense.
There's some evidence to support this theory as Abe was featured on Vintage Collection last week.

The network would be looking for a 'special' show on that night to attract viewers, particularly younger males, who do not have interest in the election. Which I think in some ways is sad. I know we cannot do party politics here so won't but it's unfortunate that networks still assume men are too dim to engage in public affairs so instead need distracting with car chases, explosions and grunting on television.
I find it somewhat patronising. Do they do the same for women? "Hey girls. Aren't all these big words confusing? Join us on this network Tuesday when you can forget your pretty little head about it as we show a marathon of Brad Pitt's movies. Yum yum!"
But yeah, I don't think it'll be two hours of Vince (ala Homer) holding up a picture of his wife on screen and saying 'I am Linda McMahon, do as I command you. I am Linda McMahon, do as I command you'
In fact politics won't even be mentioned or hinted at.

Will Vince even be there? Presumably he'd rather be with his wife on the night and won't be able to be at the venue at the same time. After all, if it does happen he won't want to miss out on the photo-op, will he?

After all, if it does happen he won't want to miss out on the photo-op, will he? The show will be taped earlier in the day as the SD crew is in the UK next week, so no, he won't be there. So you can add the fact that it's a taped show to the ratings excuses. |

Because one is a predetermined circus with over the top caricatures and run by rich egomaniacs and the other is pro wrestling?
