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

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.

Oh yeah. Wishful thinking I guess.


And to me local wrestling means terrible wrestling from guys with no charisma and no real storylines going on. If it is a lot of fun than great, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

And no Jakyl, I'm seeing a show in some small town in Iowa that is like 30 minutes from the city where I live.

But I wouldn't be too discouraged. They're connected to a training academy, like most good indies, so the guys should be in tune with working with each other since they've been doing it for awhile.

That might actually be worse than I expected.

On the negative side, Colt's show was at the National Wresling Hall of Fame in Waterloo and it sounds like it was a special event.

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.

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.

So much for "Man SD would do so much better if it was live!" <_<


Might have something more to do with the fact that nearly an hour and a half of it was filler. Also the fact that this is the first time it's been live on Tuesday. I mean it's a shame that they're going to look at that number and go "Smackdown should never be live ever again and no one cares about CM Punk and Daniel Bryan" because they're so impatient, but that number doesn't mean either of those things.
