(+) Yeah! (+)

Why on earth would I watch any actual WWE right now?

Let me put it to you this way - if they were so amazing on NXT why is it that no one here ever mentions them?
---

i've seen scarlet talking about kyle o reilly like this month and also using this topic as a barometer is just a really bad idea

I freaking love O'Reilly in NXT and Undisputed Era is easily the most over act on the brand aside from Gargano/Ciampa.

Going by this, no one is amazing anywhere except Becky

Listening to Dave talk about the NXT UK situation

These guys were only making $20K per year from WWE, but allowed to work elsewhere

Now that WWE is locking them down, theyre getting raises. So thats good of those raises are substantial, but Dave doesnt know how much they are.

I really really hope we see talent raises across the board once the Fox deal hits but Im not holding my breath

Poor Gran Metalik

One of the top 3 best workers on Raw and only used as the third string noisemaker goof

Ooh, that's one more thing. Lucha House Party wrestling The Revival in a 3-on-2 match. Despite having the unfair numbers advantage, LHP are the faces while The Revival, who only want a fair fight, are the heels.

Also...

According to WrestleVotes, who have broken stories in the past, Braun Strowman may be out of action past the TLC PPV. The likely plan will be to run a six-man tag like in 2012 (The Shield vs. Ryback and Team Hell), replacing Corbin vs. Strowman. Judging by the recent episodes of Raw, this would mean Corbin, McIntyre, & Lashley vs. Elias, Finn Balor, and a partner.

Seriously hoping this is a work and Braun can still show up. Either that or give us a match that doesn't have Corbin in it >_>

I have never heard of WrestleVotes

They've broken stories in the past though!

Ive got two contenders at TLC. One earned her way to The Champ, the other something, something, WOOO, daddy, something entitled.

There's also a picture but I can't post that in a quote. Quoted it here because apparently clicking a link is hard.
---

If that's the case then why did Becky pick Charlotte to face Ronda instead of Asuka.

Dumb.
---

Because they had an idea of getting Charlotte over which was to make her diet Becky Lynch, which is promptly destroyed after she has to do one promo of Becky telling Charlotte that she had to be diet Becky Lynch to have any sort of success right now.

I cannot honestly believe they had Charlotte be a rip off of Becky and then they just had her go right back to trying to compete with Becky. This booking is so dumb.

"The episode, which was generally viewed as weak, saw the audience drop 19 percent from the first to third hour, one of the bigger drops in history, to go along with being one of the lower-rated Raw shows in history.

The Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans game head-to-head did 9.74 million viewers, well below usual for Monday Night Football.

It was the fourth-lowest audience of the modern era, largely due to the major drop during the show."

8 p.m. 2.61 million viewers
9 p.m. 2.38 million viewers
10 p.m. 2.11 million viewers

i've not watched the show - did they announce baron corbin was main eventing ahead of time again?

She can believe Charlotte is better than Asuka while still not thinking she deserves a title shot.

She got her rematch, and she got beat. What has she done to earn one?

No one here watched the show <_<

not even the first hour?

Strowmans surgery was successful, so he should be good to go for TLC
---

Well many said it was the worst Raw ever. Maybe it actually was with that kind of drop off. I feel like some lingering damage is likely if that extra dropoff was from extra people stopping the show out of disgust
---

So THAT'S why she hugged her.

I'm guessing that she came up with that on her own after the writers made her hug Charlotte in an attempt to get Charlotte the same kind of reaction that Becky gets.

They've been trying so hard to make Charlotte into this top tier face, and they failed. They see Becky get over, and decide "Hey lets make Charlotte do exactly like Becky did, she'll get over too!"
---

Or Becky instinctively hugged Charlotte cause they're real life friends and she was trying not to cry after losing out on the biggest match of her career.

That's also possible, but I choose to blame Vince because I hate him.

No, but starting Raw with a staggering 40 minutes of Corbin is never a good start.

Hopefully he wins for two reasons:
1) Corbin is trash and should be sent back to the midcard where he belongs and away from any authority role
2) Who else is WWE going to feed to Lesnar at Royal Rumble? Balor? Rollins? (Okay, that last one is possible)

Despite Raw's numbers being down this week, Tuesday night's SmackDown saw its ratings go up 5.5 percent to an average of 2.264 million viewers. That equated to a much higher than usual 96 percent retention of the Raw audience, one of the highest numbers in history.

Becky = ratings
---

Well Becky is only 96% the draw Baron is.
---

But shes 5.5% more of a draw than non-Becky SD
---

Becky with the good ratings.

Kairi Sane is ill with what she believes may be hand, food and mouth disease. She noted having a 102.7 fever on Thanksgiving day, but said the fever has gone down but her hands, feet and mouth have a mysterious eczema. She missed the 11/28 TV tapings in Orlando, but said she was feeling better.

That sounds rough
---

The big difference were strong gains in the 18-49 demo where Smackdown placed first on cable. In an interesting stat, in women 18-49, 38.4 percent more watched Smackdown this week than Raw. With men, 6.6 percent more men in the 18-49 demo this week watched Raw.

Ladies love The Man

The ten most watched shows of the past week on the WWE Network were:
1. Starrcade 2018;
2. WWE 365 A.J. Styles;
3. Survivor Series 2018;
4. NXT on 11/21;
5. NXT Takeover War Games II;
6. Edge & Christian Show Season 2: Episode 1;
7. NXT U.K. on 11/21;
8. WWE Chronicle: Dean Ambrose;
9. NXT U.K. on 11/21 (they aired two different episodes as they are trying to catch up from having so many shows taped ahead of time);
10. League of Legends Battle: WWE vs. NXT.

Poor 205 Live losing out to League of Legends

Becky has done something the Simpson's writers have failed to do in something like 30 years.

Make me enjoy something about the Simpsons that isn't a video game.
