Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted October 25, 2002 It could be attributed to the HHH/Kane angle from Monday also. Alot of casuals don't know that the rosters are split so they might have watched once they heard about the angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest franchise632 Report post Posted October 25, 2002 Fuck either Vince or HHH are on here as Bobo!! You gotta be kidding me, i think if anything it shows that people know that they arent going to get that crap on SD! Despite what we think about Show, atleast they are trying to build him again. It may not be the guy that we want but they are trying to do something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pop Culture God Report post Posted October 25, 2002 That's it guys, it's apparant that: 1. Face Lesnar and Heel Big Show draw like motherfuckers. 2. People can't get enough of Angle and Benoit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Luke Michael Report post Posted October 25, 2002 It's really easy to see why Smackdown had a high rating.....People are hoping Brock kicks the shit out of Big Show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted October 25, 2002 The show before did a 3.4, so something made them want to tune into this show. It was either the HHH/Kane angle or people were just hot for the Smackdown side of the last ppv and wanted to see what happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2002 so, how long until we get the 'cross-feud' match with Angle, Benoit, Show and Lesnar? would it be Lesnar/Benoit-Angle/Show, Lesnar/Angle-Show/Benoit or Lesnar/Show-Angle/Benoit (Lesnar and Big Show win SD tag titles) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest D'Lo White Report post Posted October 26, 2002 We all know the real reason the rating went up. People were hooked to their television waiting to see if Dawn Marie was really gonna break it off with Al Wilson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted October 26, 2002 We all know the real reason the rating went up.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted October 26, 2002 Don't underestimate the power of Dawn Marie's boobs! Dawn's boobs, Taker getting punked out, Noble, Benoit, Angle, Eddy, Edge, Rey, Chavo, MATTITUDE!! Raw didn't have a prayer... *shakes head* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted October 26, 2002 The thing is, I don't think it was as good of a show as last weeks. The 2nd hour totally sucked up until Angle Benoit, with 1 match (a not very good Cruiser match) and almost a freaking half hour of Taker/Brock/Show and Taker getting up. But of course, you know that some network shows (including CSI) were a rerun last night.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But of course, you know that some network shows (including CSI) were a rerun last night.. Last SD only had ONE good match. This one had 2, and the rest wasn't terrible at all. But yes, I HATED the huge load of time wasted with the Taker crap. The interview...big show attacked...big show throwing him off the stage...loading him up onto the stretcher...MORE of the stretcher job. Crap crap crap. The rest of it was uber good, and hearing about Raw lowered the bar anyway, and the great matches clearly sailed way over that bar in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bricks Report post Posted October 26, 2002 It seemed like they were trying to cram all the TV time 'Taker would've gotten in the next few weeks if he was going to stay into one show. Oh well, I'm assuming next week is a 'Taker-free Smackdown! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted October 26, 2002 That's it guys, it's apparant that: 1. Face Lesnar and Heel Big Show draw like motherfuckers. 2. People can't get enough of Angle and Benoit. The general rating for Smackdown! for the past few months has been around the 3.3-3.4 area or higher. A .3 increase does not constitute much of anything, let alone BS and Lesnar "drawing like motherfuckers." 3.5 - August 15, 2002 3.6 - August 22, 2002 3.1 - August 29, 2002 3.2 - September 5, 2002 3.7 - September 12, 2002 3.5 - September 19, 2002 3.6 - September 26, 2002 3.6 - October 3, 2002 3.6 - October 10, 2002 3.4 - October 17, 2002 3.7 - October 24, 2002 Seriously, guys, get a grip. It's almost scary how Meltzer has brainwashed the internet into thinking this shit really matters. He (and most people on this thread, it would seem) might be more dillusional than Vince himself. Ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2002 You know what's funny about ratings? Years ago with the Monday night wars, the ratings for wrestling on BOTH sides were in the 2. something range. And at least WCW didn't mind it. Just wanted to note that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
