He has to ensure Raw stays the flagship show after all.

I dunno about that, dude...I think it was still pretty popular through the "Ruthless Aggression" era...I think it might be close to on par with the early RA Era, but not moreso.

SmackDown got 0.9 in the 18-49 demo. This breaks it even with RAW. I can't find anything on the overall share.

Yikes. I stopped watching RAW or SD months ago and was just watching the Network events. I just cancelled my Network sub though because nothing interests me enough to justify the financial and time expenses to watch the Network during football season. I'd rather spend my time and money watching football. Will probably signup again though around Rumble time once football season ends.

Snob Goblin does not have that much rep yet (10+)
Someone already said it, but the drop in recent years also has to do with less people fucking around with cable and watching on DVR and Hulu. Viewership is down but financially the company is fine. More than fine.

Smackdown also seems like the more fun and enjoyable show.

Until their television rights fees drop significantly on the next renewal. That's where the company gets a large % of their guaranteed annual revenues every year. In addition, last time the WWE's stock tanked on the release of the actual tv rights deal financials.

This is going to be a problem when it comes to renegotiating television deals with NBC Universal in a few years, and they have less money to spend on television that fewer people are watching. RAW and SmackDown are still close enough to the top that they are going to warrant offers, but they may not be as high as Vince McMahon would like -- especially considering how much money they are spending on production.

The E! Network's love for Total Divas may dry up in time too, and that might extend to Total Bellas. I think it'll extend the worth of The Bellas short-term, given that it's "new," but I don't think it will be distinct enough from the Divas franchise to remain fresh for as long. Those television rights also give the WWE a lot of income, and they don't really have another big hit lined up.

The fact that people don't feel the urgency to watch RAW and SmackDown in itself is a poor reflection on the product. We're always talking about the millions of viewers watching, but the ratings share is very rarely talked about. That is a percentage of people watching cable at that point in time watching RAW and SmackDown. That is a lot lower than it has ever been. It's not just a case of fewer people watching live; it is a case of a smaller PROPORTION of people watching live.

Everything's just so... the same... just there... I just don't know how else to describe it. Characters, bleh, all the same. Matches, bleh, pretty much all the same. Feuds, almost nonexistent. Drama, likewise, basically nonexistent.

It doesn't trickle off as hard as a replay of Crisley Knows Best or a replay of NCIS would.

Actually, I was looking it up, and Judge Judy got over 9 million viewers this week. I'm not sure how many NCIS would get, but Law & Order repeats got a 3.8 for 5.4 million viewers.
