I really thought Krumholtz would lead to a new boom period

[Terry McConkey]

You can bet they're hoping to do another Legends night soon.

Can't they just do a reset of all storylines/titles and hire a new writing team?

[Legion]

They aren't great numbers, and yet they are still the winner of the night outside of NBA, so there will be no change or panic

[Pushed to the Moon]

Maybe got scared of disfigured Orton and changed the channel.

[DrBackflipsHoffman]

maybe everyone was watching the same show and realised the same thing at the same time

You could have a writing team of great wrestling minds and RAW will still be shit if Vince is the filter it runs through.

Right??

You can have the most expensive coffee maker on the planet, and use the most expensive best quality coffee on the planet, but if the coffee has to run through a filter made of dogshit, it's not going to matter.

On a night where they are starting to lose head to head competition, they're really running out of excuses.

They just can't keep consistency and I have to wonder how many viewers the whole Randy/Fiend stuff is keeping around or driving away...

Both numbers are up from last week.

I mean the Fiend stuff is driving me away from the product after the complete and utter trainwreck of a main event last Monday. The last thing WWE needs is a women's version of The Fiend. Bray needs the book taken away from him since he is the one who gets to control all this awful Fiend stuff.

Just to note that, ignoring Legends Night because that has help to get an audience, this is their best result since September, and they've managed to grow their audience 4 weeks out of the last 5.

I mean, from small amounts upwards, but it is what it is...

Yes, but very very marginally from a week where they went up against the biggest football competition they'll face all year.

But they did good against the bowl game. Numbers are better than they were during the NFL season.

Sure, they did better than expected during the National Championship. My point is that I would have expected somewhat of a bump given they had less competition this week than last week. Take the audience you've built since the NFL season ended and then and add in viewers who may have tuned out last week because of college football. It's not terrible to hold steady but ideally you want to continue to build your audience both as you have less competition and as you build towards Mania.

Sure, the tone of the posts I was responding to was one of the numbers being bad or a bad trend. I assume post-Rumble they may break 2 million again if some interesting things happen.
