I didn't even know it was on Tuesday until Jakyl mentioned the "8 shows in 9 days" schedule
I'd assume ratings would go up if it was on Tuesday regularly and was promoted more -- Boko United - MenjiTMFan267 Guru Taken Miraculously by SuperNiceDog ... Copied to Clipboard!

So apparently this Saturday a couple of my friends and I are going to a local pro wrestling event. None of them really watch pro wrestling.
They don't understand why I am not super excited for this. - The rating for Tuesday's Super Smackdown Live show was a 1.7 rating with 2.32 million viewers. This is down from what the show usually does on Friday and considered a disappointment. For example, Friday's edition of Smackdown scored a 1.95 rating with 2.96 million viewers. Yeah, that seems to show it was the timeslot more than the live aspect. When your replay does better than your original airing that means something is wrong with the slot (in this case bad advertising) not the show. -- (Maniac64 at work) Guns don't kill people, Kinder eggs do.

Since we're throwing shills out there, anyone in Southeastern Michigan who wants to check out a high-quality local indie should definitely give CLASH Wrestling a try. They're affiliated with CHIKARA, they're basically the graduate program for Truth Martini's training academy, and they regularly get guys like Jimmy Jacobs, Petey Williams, Colt Cabana, Zach Gowen, X-Pac, Rhino, Kevin Thorn, and Shark Boy.
Big emphasis on gimmicks, storylines, and tag teams, but the main events always deliver. -- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Two interesting notes from CM Punk's interview with Peter Rosenberg of "Hot 97" in New York City yesterday:
* He said he has a great relationship with Triple H and that he often discusses backstage stuff and management decisions. One example he gave was that he asked Triple H why Brodus Clay was put on TV, pushed, and then taken off TV. Punk said that Triple H's explanation made sense and he understood where management was coming from. He didn't specify what Triple H said about Clay though. * He said WWE is not overly concerned with TV ratings, as they only care about them to the extent that sponsors stay happy. Beyond that, WWE isn't concerned with the fall in ratings over the past year. -- comin to your screen, straight from the magazine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_-LPPdHEyA ... Copied to Clipboard!
