Wrestling & Wednesdays
Now that TNA moved back to Thursdays, the only wrestling free nights on TV are Wednesday and Saturdays. Sundays obviously are rotating PPV weeks so it is excluded.
Saturdays have seen Saturday Nights Main Event to varying degrees in ratings success. Has Wednesdays always been wrestle-free? It sucks. I am bored and was thinking it was Thursday. So dejected when I remembered what day it actually was. Is there a reason no wrestling ever seems to be on Wednesdays!? |

WWE should move Superstars to Wednesdays! That way Superstars doesn't get bigger ratings than Impact!

Wrestling Society X was on Wednesdays I think. Could be wrong.

I like Superstars where it is but I don't have any problem moving it to Wednesdays. Then I wouldn't have to chose it over Impact and have no reason not to give TNA a watch. Well, other than it being shit that is.

I enjoyed watching WSX why was it canceled. I have read many different reasons I don't know which one to believe.

I'd assume its probably to give an extra day for editing and post-production for taped shows since they get taped on Tuesday nights like the former Thunder show (WCW, Thursdays) and Smackdown (WWF, Thurs/Fri).

They had a match where they were "wrestling" over a tank filled with "Piranhas". Every episode was wacky, with some sort of wierd gimmick. The announcers were Don West imitating nutjobs, the entire roster was filled with guys that were either unknown or completely washed up, and anytime a slam happened they shook the camera a thousand times over for "effect." I don't know about you. I can't call that wrestling and look myself in the mirror in the morning. There's absolutely no way I could tell my friends and family that I'm a fan of professional wrestling and that WSX is professional wrestling. I'd sooner jump off of a bridge before I let my pride shatter in such a painful way. So, in essence, fuck you. Fuck you and everything that you stand for if you think this. I'll let you try to live with what you've done today. |

Can't think of any other reason there's no Wednesday wrestling shows other than, as has already been suggested, it's the middle of the week and there's probably not a whole lot of people who'd want to spend an hour or two during what could easily be the busiest part of their week, at least for some, watching a wrestling program.

On top of the other ratings and viability talk, Wednesdays used to be one of the hottest nights for broadcast, so it could simply be nobody wants to go against that. not sure if it's still true because I've paid a lot less attention, but it at least used to hold true. Some of the other nights wrestling is already on are "as bad," so it might not be suicide, but it's still likely a factor. Especially when talking new programming.

Seriously, there's already too much wrestling to keep up with for me, and I only record TNA and RAW, aand I'm unemployed at the moment. No idea how anyone would be able to follow every show weekly as it is.

More wrestling is, in theory, good for me, because it gives me more options. Though I will probably skip half of it anyway. |

That's it for me. I watch it off the DVR, so Raw usually doesn't take much time, although I'll give them that I do watch more of it now. SD! I wind up watching most of, but it still doesn't take long when you don't have to sit through commercials. TNA is like what, 20 minutes of decent programming, 50 minutes of commercial, and 50 minutes of bullshit and recaps of bullshit that happened a minute ago? It takes like 10 minutes to watch on DVR.

Why did we stop talking about how utterly fucking ridiculous WSX was? I feel like that is like a 9 days conversation piece.

No. We must remember WSX for the same reason that we must remember the holocaust.
