The good news is that there wasn't the usual big first-to-third hour drop, which was only 9.4 percent, partially because of how low the first hour was ... The three hours were: 8 p.m. 2.27 million viewers 9 p.m. 2.25 million viewers 10 p.m. 2.05 million viewers

Originally Posted by Observer We no longer have conflicting reports. Zayn was of the belief he was supposed to say it.

They just lied to their own employees to make it out like Sami went against the script, not realizing anyone with a brain knows about the 15 second delay. Not to mention the people who did know would eventually tell those who don't. This is Bischoff WCW and they didn't learn a thing from it. It draws no money and only makes paranoid talent even more paranoid, and makes employees think they're working for an insane company, neither of which is a positive.

Originally Posted by Observer Daniel Bryan told Sports Illustrated about how long he wants to wrestle for: “There are people who say, ‘I only want to do this for three or four more years,’ or ‘I only want to do this until I’m 45.’ No. I want to do this until I’m 70. Months before I die, I want to be doing a wrestling show. I won’t be able to do the stuff I do now, but I want to go out and do this thing I’ve been passionate about wrestling my entire life. I want to do that my whole life.”
