WWE on USA Programming Notes
 

[Just like the good old days] USA Network has announced three RAW pre-emptions for 2006: RAW will not air on February 13, 2006 due to the Westminster Dog Show; RAW will be shown on Wednesday, February 15.

RAW will not air August 28, 2006 due to the US Open; RAW will not be shown that week. RAW will not air September 4, 2006 due to the US Open; RAW will be shown on Friday, September 8.

USA Network has announced the name of WWE's Saturday morning program that debuts on October 8th at 9 AM. According to the TV schedule on the USA Network website, the program will be called "WWE AM Raw" [ :| ].

Sounds pretty gay.

Even years after the lawsuit, the WWE is still getting fucked over by animals.

Wow. Does anyone really care about a dog show? I know Rick Steiner does. WOOF WOOF WOOF!

People like dogs I guess. Damn you USA

They put spelling bees on ESPN, but keep the dog shows on a non-sports network....

I'd seriously like to know how the ratings are for that.

Well, I guess if the shows will be shown later in the week then it's not too bad

The difference between back then and now is that at least when Raw would get pre-empted I wouldn't be without wrestling totally. I'd watch a full Nitro that Monday nights, but unfortunately I don't even have that anymore. :(

The Westminister Dog Show is incredibly popular, believe it or not.

Also...

:lol: :y:

They draw big ratings. It's scary.

If I recall correctly, I think the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show appeared on TSN once. It's probably moved to Animal Planet now.

Getting pre-empted by sports is one thing, but to get pre-empted over a f'n dog show is BS. And then not even showing RAW the week after SummerSlam?

I thought this move to USA wouldn't be too bad. But already, they gotta piss me off.

That's what always sucked about Raw being on USA. Delays and prempts. But remember WWE was hot when it was on USA and then about after 6 months in on TNN/SPIKE fans just lost interest.

like anybody is gonna give a fuck now with the current bullshit sotrylines they have lol

:y:

Not to mention the shitty guys in the ring.

1. The WWE doesn't draw the ratings of these shows they're pre-empted for. They didn't in the Attitude era, and the sure as fuck won't now.

2. They fucking deserve this.

3. Don't get pissed off at USA, the WWE tried to play hardball with Spike and lost. They once again brought this shit on themselves.

You can't equate the change with the decline in Quality.

Hmm I don't think/know that means anything for Canadian fans as Smackdown is still being shown on Thursday. So I guess it's possible that Raw can be shown on the usual time as well.....

Yeah, it usually still airs here even when they have the dog show.

Cena is hosting 2 Fast 2 Furious on USA. Saw an ad while watching Law and Order
