Smacked Down to a 3.2

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

This week's edition of Smackdown did a 3.2 broadcast rating, with a 5 share. That is at the low end of what the show has done recently but they can take solace in the fact that they beat programming on ABC, FOX and the WB and finished in third place for the time period.

This show needed more old people and Nathan Jones...

[Guest Brian]

What was on last night that took the big rating?

[Guest oldschoolwrestling]

Survivor maybe? Nothing else I can think of.

[Guest MrRant]

Friends etc. Smackdown was pre-empted for baseball here in Seattle

[Guest AndrewTS]

On the SD preview on WWE.com it said it would be pre-empted in many major cities.

[Guest Will Scarlet]

It was preempted here for playoff hockey. *shakes fist* Of course, the Red Wings lost, so it's all good.

[Guest El Satanico]

Whaaat...It came in third with a 3.2? I didn't think that was even possible. TV must've really really sucked Thursday if a 3.2 finished third.

 

Hell most nights 6.4 is the 6th rated show.

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Well, if 3.2 gets you 3rd, then you know that TV just plain sucks overall in general.

I blame Red Wings hockey. Or whatever was on in Seattle. Without that, it would have maintained the 3.3. Yep.

[Guest Downhome]

So John Cena doesn't = ratings eh?

 

[Guest Downhome]

Wait, I just figured it out. Wasn't Ready To Rumble on at the same time!?

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Wait, I just figured it out. Wasn't Ready To Rumble on at the same time!?

Dude. It's this Monday. Don't jump the gun early and watch it before you have to.

 

Besides, I'm not watching either RAW or Ready To Rumble. Since they more or less are the same show.

 

Edit: It was on? Geez... I thought it was going up against RAW this Monday.

Ready to Rumble was on last night, yes.

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

When will Nathan Jones get his own variety hour?

[Guest TheArchiteck]

It was preempted here for playoff hockey. *shakes fist* Of course, the Red Wings lost, so it's all good.

It was preemptied here in Detroit. And the Red Wings won...in spirit.

[Guest Choken One]

Fuck Hockey, It's Deader then the Dead Sea.

[Guest creativename]

Huh? Hockey owns man. Plus my Devils being the only team to actually win their first two home games is great. I'm dying to see Sens-Devils in the conference finals. Hopefully the Sens can get the act together.

[Guest humongous2002]

3.2?Damn, that Brock, he sure is a big draw.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

3.2?Damn, that Brock, he sure is a big draw.

Brock was in the opener. Taker was in the main event, and the most hyped thing was Piper's Pit.

 

Piper & Taker are where the blame should go.

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

It's amazing, isn't it. Brock is the Champion, this was his first SD appearance since becoming Champion, and he wrestled in the opener and wasn't seen again after the backstage skit which was in the beginning of the third quarter hour.

 

Kahran is right. Piper was treated as the REAL 'draw', with Taker being second on the list.
