Only the segments/promos gained viewers. All of the matches lost viewers. :lol1:

So much for that face turn for ADR and trying to make him the latino superface. People don't want to see him now. :facepalm1:

Wow.

Not sure if you should blame Alberto, blame people already having to sit through that craptacular first hour, then getting rewarded with a predictable (albeit very good) match. Surprised many of us had the patience to deal with that.

The shitty show made the triple threat for the IC Championship lose viewers before-hand, it's a shame as the triple-threat match was awesome.

I think these numbers are shameful with WM being this close.

Wow, Dolph/Kofi lost 300k viewers. Is this bad for Dolphs :eek:hmy:

"Fandango and The Great Khali lost 104,000 viewers" - NOW GET THESE FUCKERS OFF TV AND NEVER BRING EITHER OF THEM BACK.

I think it's more of a case of no one cares about Kofi anymore. They've buried him pretty deep since he dropped the strap to Barrett.

His character is in desperate need of a fresh start, that might be the best way to do it.

Without a doubt. I'm not sure how it's going to work though. It's not like he has the physical attributes to be a giant like Ryback or Henry, not that we need another one of those at this time anyway though.

His matches are athletic and fast paced, not really how a heel works. It's going to be interesting to see how he changes his style. May have been working on it for months for all we know :hmm:

He can do the exact opposite. Become a guy who only does ground/resting moves. Tease high spots and then not do them. Do the whole "I'm not here to entertain you, that hasn't gotten me anywhere" shtick.

Has Kofi ever been heel? Don't remember if he has. Would be interesting seeing him heel.

Nope, he's been a face since he debuted (2007?)
