On my tenth in the rankings, sports did a number on it

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

Yeah, Rampage was in striking distance. It can't do that number often.

Things are about to get even worse in about 2 weeks.

Those numbers are totally worth ripping the company in half.

Has it been?

Even if you consider The Elite/Punk situation, most of these guys and girls appear on both shows in some capacity

That being said, again, Warner should have known with the onset of College Football coming that Collision's ratings were gonna take a beating.

Punk about to ban anyone that draws from Rampage.

Some interesting times ahead, as this could well become the norm. Maybe explains why Punk is suddenly so keen to try and get The Elite to work with him.

The combo of College Football and WWE PPV/PLE will be a deadly one for Collision.

The Elite don't need to wrestle Punk. Punk needs to wrestle The Elite.

[Loser troll. Please ban me]

More good news, Or so I'm told.

In the key 18-49 demo, it drew an 0.17 rating, up from 0.13 last week. The average of the four more “typical” episodes is 0.20, so this episode was below that. It was still strong enough to finish no. 2 in all of cable in the key demo, behind only boxing on ESPN which drew a 0.22 rating and 669,000 viewers.

The male 18-49 demo rating drew 0.25, up from 0.18 the prior week but down from the 0.38 for the July 29 episode. The average for the series after nine weeks is 0.28, and 0.26 not counting the premiere.

The younger male demo, 18-34, averaged 0.15, up from 0.08 the prior week but below the 0.29 the week before that. The average through nine weeks is 0.18, and 0.15 not counting the premiere.

Once again, like last week, a whole lot of this comes down to whatever WB was comfortable with knowing what the competition would be in a prime time Saturday time slot. If they were braced for this and still look at the demo numbers/rankings as a success, then it's fine, but if they wanted to see more like +500,000 totals against competition then obviously this ain't it.

I thought they were getting into a nice groove with the numbers rising as people realized that Collision isn't being treated as a B show, but it's clear that sports and potentially other WWE PLEs are going to take a nice bite out of its numbers for the foreseeable future.

I could very easily see Phil going up to TK and telling him to switch him to Dynamite and The Elite to Collision when football season starts. You know Phil's ego will not take well the ratings that Collision gets during college football and him as the face of it.

Collision is going to need a few more proven tv draws being exclusive to it -- someone like Danhausen when he returns from injury
