How big of a deal are the really low ratings for the latest Raw and Smackdown?

With the entire US at home, shouldn't ratings be up? Or does the lack of a crowd hurt viewership?

Could always just do voiceover. I've been trying to do some videos with just some voice over work and it's ok.

I've been on podcasts before and I'd need someone to cut me off as I can ramble on for way too long.

Not a question but just want to say I love your work. Your review site is in my bookmarks and go on it every day to read the new reviews you do, also once I finish watching something like an old raw or ppv I read your review of it. Keep up the awesome work!

That means more to me than you know. Thank you very much.

The ratings are doing well. It's the viewership that's down and ratings dwarf viewership in importance. In other words, it's which fans are watching. The 18-49 demographic is the most coveted and this week's Raw had hours of #2, #3 and #7 in that demographic.

As for why people aren't watching, I'd call it a mixture of the show not being so great, fans wanting a break and just a lack of desire to have fun right now. People are out of work, sick or in worst case scenarios, dying. That's not exactly the kind of atmosphere where you want to have fun watching something. For a lot of people, I'd assume that trying to watch Raw as usual just makes you realize how abnormal everything is at the moment.

Vince had the most obvious reason ever for low ratings (coronavirus, duh), and yet he blamed the wrestlers like he always does.

Their booking is erratic, they're performing in empty arenas, and they have legitimate safety and job security fears. But it's totally all their fault, right?

Whatever gets Brock back faster, at least in Vince's mind.

How big of a draw was Andre before his arrival in the WWF/E?

[BestSportsEntertainer]

What ever happened to main eventers actually main eventing TV shows?

He was a name regionally but not a huge star. I believe he wrestled as a French lumberjack character and you can imagine how far that got him.

At the moment, Coronavirus.

If you prerecord it and send it to an editor they can cut out the ramble bits, send it back to you for approval and then put it to clips. Of course it would be if you wanted to do it.

Raven, how good was he?

It probably could be done but I've always been more of a text guy. Just fits me better.

Raven, how good was he?

Quite in smaller promotions, but eventually it became some version of the Nest/Flock over and over again.
