Definitely the Revival's best work on the main roster. Very good match all around.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

500 days of Brock as the non-existent champ, never saw a rating as low as Monday. Hmmm....

 

[SeidoN]

WON says 205 Live viewership is way up in its new timeslot

 

[iamjs]

If my math is right, those 2.35m viewers from Monday are about a 1.53 rating.

For comparison, Nitro's worst rating was a 1.72.

- Shawn Michaels may not only be wrestling at Crown Jewel. There's speculation that a Shawn Michaels vs The Undertaker match is currently planned for either Survivor Series or Royal Rumble, with the main discussion being centered around Suvivor Series. Shawn Michaels is going to be in Triple H's corner at the Australian match against The Undertaker, with Kane being in Taker's corner. Then the 4 are expected to face off in a tag match at the Crown Jewel Saudi event, and now it appears HBK will go one on one with Da Undertaka, at Royal Rumble or Survivor Series.

Yeah, who needs to give another match or any airtime to young up and coming talent, when we can just throw two grandpas in there for the eleventy millionth time.

Shawn hasn't wrestled in like 6 years and Undertaker has been pretty trash and can hardly move since his last Lesnar HIAC match. The hell? LOL

 

[Fro]

That's gonna get the ratings

The WWE has 5 hours of tv per week. Most of what they put on doesn't get over. They really aren't stealing time from young talent

Well I think HBK will probably be fine he's not the type that's going to go out there and put on a bad match

 

[Paris in Flames]

I assure you. Shawn vs Taker in 2018/2019 will be a bad match.

He’s 53 years old and hasn’t wrestled in 6 years lol.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

The last time he came back he was out 4 years after a serious back injury and addiction issues. I honestly don't think if a match is bad itlli be because of him. He's too good at this

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Sure, but he was like 37.

 

[Sheppy]

I probably won't be able to take a bald HBK serious.

 

[Paris in Flames]

I probably won't be able to take a bald HBK serious.

That's why his comeback took so long. They needed to perfect the technology that could keep his cowboy hat on for the entire match.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

The first ever walker match.

I think I'd rather see all three give their perspective of the story of Undertaker taping his fists to beat the hell out of Shawn for real if he didn't drop the belt to Austin.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Walker on a pole match. Let’s go.

I cannot figure out how this all worked for WWE. Ratings/house shows/etc all down. Network subs not where they wanted. Show is stale and ratings go even lower.

At the same time you have absolute ridiculous money (reported 45m) Saudi shows, a 1.5 BILLION dollar potential deal with a big network, and the stock through the roof.

If you want to talk about things just not matching up...

yeah... WWE was on my do not buy a few years ago. Very little of this makes sense. From an investor's standpoint, the fundamentals look fine for the company, but from a fan perspective the numbers make such little sense. It's mind boggling how they continue to rake in money despite being such a piss poor product.
