Guest godthedog Report post Posted November 22, 2002 bad news, especially for a post-ppv show & raw's ratings jump. this confirms that the stupidest possible move at survivor series was to put the title on the big show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Electrifyer Report post Posted November 22, 2002 It is the Big Show. The smarks certainly don't like him and from talking to some of my "mark" friends, they hate him too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest buffybeast Report post Posted November 22, 2002 Naw, the ratings were stagnant because of the hot competition on the other networks. You have friends, Survivor, CSI to compete with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest creativename Report post Posted November 22, 2002 It is the Big Show. The smarks certainly don't like him and from talking to some of my "mark" friends, they hate him too. Obvious moronic anti-smark comment: "But they're supposed to hate the Big Show, he's a heel!! That means he's effective!" That aside, I don't think this is a cause for concern. Hell, the difference could be due solely to rounding issues, for all we know. 0.1 is not a significant drop. I myself was hoping for a drop of 0.3 or greater, so that WWE would get the message. <sigh> A Lesnar face turn might actually help the SmackDown! ratings in the long-run though. The show was missing that main event face (Undertaker doesn't count; he's not going to add any extra viewers). Even Edge is stuck in the mid-card. Making a newly created monster face like Brock a focus of the show can't hurt ratings, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooseCannon Report post Posted November 22, 2002 You know a .1 drop in the ratings, using Nielson sampling methods, is statistically insignificant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying that losing to the Big Joke didn't hurt his cred, but Brock will get more over as a face if they make him the focus of the show, as it looks like they plan on doing.
