Just realised this is on at the same time as the Oscars. That's just stopped me from watching it live. I'm wondering how much their viewing figures will take a hit because of that.

I would imagine there's very, very little crossover there I think it'll be a bit more than "very, very little". Considering about 15% of the population of the U.S. watches the Oscars on TV, it does have the potential to take away some audience. Just going from this forum, there a quite a few people who watch the Oscars live. It's not exactly a template for how it'll be everywhere nor do I expect it to be that much of a difference but as I said, I think it'll be slightly more than very, very little. This is, to the best of my knowledge, the first time they've ever aired a show against the Oscars. I would be interested to see how much the PPV buys are but since the network has come along, there will never be a telling figure.

Well, if they are subscribed to the Network, I suppose it doesn't really matter if they actually watch the show or not, as long as WWE gets the $9.99 every month.

Yeah, even if people don't watch it live, they'll just watch it straight after or the next day. Which makes me wonder if that's a reason why they are only now going "up against" one of the biggest Worldwide entertainment events.

As are Barrett v Ambrose for the IC belt and Usos v Cesaro/Kidd for the tag belts.

Maybe Rollins and The Local Men vs. Union 2.0 to set up Orton/Rollins and further dissension between The Local Men.

After watching RAW tonight, WWE needs to make Reigns/Bryan No DQ and let these to kill each other. If they need to go the Triple Threat route at Mania, they need to just get it started before the bell rings, and they never get control over the bout, to the point where the entire roster has to pull them off of each other, and they still end up going at each other. Match never even starts, and the segment ends with half the roster as casualties, and with Roman and Bryan both knocked out. That way, both Roman and Bryan get the main event match by kicking too much ass, but unable to settle a damn thing between them. It's like Ground Zero 97, but with two Undertakers.

You know how in EWR, when you book something wrong the crowd gets confused and both guys lose overness? It kind of feels like that's what has happened to Bryan and Reigns going into this.

Sky have announced that as well as moving Fastlane from Sky Sports Box Office to Sky Sports, they will also show it live on Sky 1 - presumably because it's free on the WWE Network.

I thought RAW was pretty good - some development for the divas, for the IC title. The Bryan/Reigns angle was by far the most boring part.

Anyone think Reigns might earn the distinction of being the first person to kick out of the Running Knee?
