This week's episodes of Raw and SmackDown Live were down 30% and 25% from 2018, respectively. Raw drew a 2019-low of 2.158 million viewers while SmackDown Live logged a 2019-low of 1.833 million viewers. To put this in perspective, Raw's average viewership through 2018 saw a 32% decline over the past five years.




Though WWE's viewership annually softens in the months following WrestleMania, both numbers represented the lowest non-holiday total outside football season in company history. With the NBA still relatively early in its postseason and football season around the corner, WWE's alarmingly low viewership numbers stand to get very embarrassing, very quickly.

As has been the case, the biggest drops came among younger demographics. In the case of SmackDown Live, viewership was down 38% among teenagers and 40% among the 18-35 demo.



We are upon that time, so with that being said:

Shut your mouth @Deezy.
LOL complacent......that old chestnut.

They're competing with every other show in their timeslots......That's how TV works genius :lmao

Let's also pretend that tv itself is suffering from dropped ratings across the board....because the Nielsen metric is dead.

Only old people still have the Nielsen box :lizlol

wrestling you fucking idiot.

God damn I didn't think you were that damn stupid, but you are starting to show me that. Wrestling is his completion. He can't complete with other stuff in the time slot because people turn the channel to watch the other shit, or people like me which again, numbers don't like lie: The product is not interesting enough. He can force-feed you whatever you want because guess what, TNA is shit. ROH can't even stay on TV.. For someone who claims they are such a genius, it's obviously who the product is geared for is losing viewers. Has nothing to do with the other people in the time slot. This has to do with his product and the fact he does feel indeed that he don't have to put the same effort in as he did during the attitude era. Cause he didn't, He would have likely been out of business and WCW would still be around. But, you are this so called genius who hasn't offered up anything to fact, as opposed to personal opinion. That can only go so far.

I said it in 2001 after he bought WCW. The product is gonna slowly decline. And, boy am I right.

And I love it when people cling to ratings like it should change my subjective tastes.

Sound like a rotten tomato mark.

LMAO WCW were the ones obsessed with ratings for PRO wrestling and look what happened.

Nice rant BTW.....there were some things that even formed a coherent thought.

Nawwwww I was just being a polite Canadian :MJ:

Something you seemingly lack. But, it's cute of you to think you are more intelligent.

Fuck Punk would draw more than most of the people now anyway. LMAO, Punk might bring ratings up.

But, he wouldn't touch WWE with you're dick so. That's out of the question.

Because they don't have any competition to make them put up better product, henceforth:

Vince: I have no one to complete. They will like my lack of effort to keep you drawn in. They buy anything.

2019 Vince: Shit, that isn't working, look at my numbers. They are declining. Let's fire up ole faithful, the attitude era content.

And, make no mistake, MOST people have the network for the old wrestling content.
