Dogs and WWE

[Enigma22]

who the fuck would watch a dog show?
that cant get particularly great ratings and raw gets pretty good, consistent ratings week after week.

Heaven forbid peepshow goes one week without raw. Kinda funny if you think about it.

Are you implying that Im actually sad that I will be missing Raw?

As long as I can remember watching wrestling, the dog show has been on too. But when I first started watching, there was no other channel that it aired on, like they do now on Sci-Fi. There was just a week when there was no wrestling on, and __ years ago, that was when I would watch the whole 2 hours of Nitro instead of the WWF.

It has always been like this always will. Obviously West Minster has a deal with USA to air live I assume from 8-11pm on a Monday. Same with the Tennis stuff we had to deal with before. It happens like twice a year. USA let's WWE go over it's time limit whenever they want, whereas 10 years ago they would END the show if it went past the time limit and show the ending of the show the next week. How about charish the fact that the USA network is as nice to the WWE as they are. I don't ever remember WWE having so many 3hr specials years ago up until last year.

Who remembers... Thursday RAW Thursday?

and a little googling later
-apparantly in 96 (i think it was) USA got 4.0 in the Nielson's for the dog show
also found this on the westminster kennel club site from the 2004 show:

TELEVISION RATINGS: USA Network's live coverage of the dog show reached 7.4 million viewers in five million homes in its two nights. Viewing peaked at the end of the show when Josh was crowned Best In Show. In the last quarter hour of the show, ratings hit a 4.4 mark with 5.8 million viewers tuning in. Overall, USA Network was the top rated basic cable network in prime time for the night.
