+400,000 I wonder what caused the increase? Because it's certainly not the product.

 

[Rysenberg]

Somebody must have mentioned Henry or something, only reasonable explanation.

 

[Crayo]

Barrett was in the main event.

 

[Leo C]

This is pretty bad. It means they can still not care about SD and it keeps getting viewers.

 

[Lacky]

Barrett was in the main event.

So was Sheamus? I'm guessing.

 

[Crayo]

So was Sheamus? I'm guessing.

But everyone knows Sheamus can't draw his way out of art class.

:dafuq: did I miss? Last week's episode is the first in a long time that I didn't watch any of, at all. I canceled it on the DVR before I left town.

How did they advertise the show? Did they run ads for Miz being there on Main Event or something?
