Rampage Rating August 12

[markymark]

Rampage ended up 10th place, the best viewership since April and that was vs the NFL(PreSeason but still)

I love when this happens. One of the most maligned cards draws one of their better ratings in weeks.

Sonny Kiss = Ratings

It's science

[dbrussel]

Bootleg Brock + Sonny Kiss + that guy from Jersey= New boom rampage period

[clifford]

Aight I give up with Rampage lol, I shat on the card in the spoilers thread and they've made me look a damn fool.

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

Slim J is clearly the draw here.

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

That's one of those ratings that really makes me laugh at any attempt to piece out the success or failure of a show based on its card. It's still fun to try that sometimes, but no card ever seems to hold as much power as TV happenings that are beyond our ken.

This reminds me of when MJF vs. Punk on free TV really did a bad number. But every segment they did before and after did great numbers. Their match at Revolution did a great buyrate. There's just an inherent randomness to it.

Well hopefully they'll reward Sonny by putting her on tv more, right?

.....

...right?

[Bang Bang Bart]

Sonny Kiss punching Orange in the freshly-squeezed peens = Ratings

[Mr Mario Mario]

See I’m not that surprised because Rampage was good the week before and I think that played a part as people may have been expecting more than what we got

I wouldn’t be surprised to see it dip back down quite a bit next week

[Cyno]

Demo breakdown, it's actually pretty proportional to how Dynamite performs. Pretty solid in every demo (for day and time) except the old folks.

Well if the Trustbusters are on TV, Sonny probably will be too if they've officially joined the group

Meltzer saying The Last Jedi was a strong lead in for Rampage, which might be one part of the reason for the higher rating.

But yeah, trying to figure out what makes ratings go up and down is a losing game in the 2020s.

[Chiral]

Let's get even weirder!!

Yeah he has been getting called out for stating so too...

I'm sure the lead in helped with the first quarter but I also think it would be unfair to say that the entire reason the number is up is because people watched a Star Wars movie beforehand when there have been plenty of big movies on since April. It probably helped the first few minutes but the entire first quarter did well which tells me folks tuned in to see Danielson and had some curiosity coming off of Wednesday. It would be disingenuous to say it's all one thing or another.

I swear this happens a lot in the UFC. A card looks completely unnecessary on paper and ends up being spectacular.
