3.87 million viewers btw
Demos were over 1 million, so that's good Week 2 will drop of course, it does for all shows - but how much or how little be interesting |

Kofi is unbelievably boring and makes the WWE title seem like shit imo... Really glad his reign is finally over

The "fix your teeth Brock" sign in the crowd was a highlight...

Didn't watch this, but what's hilarious and pathetic to me is instead of actually using and building up their own stars, (because they can't) they continually beg (and rely on bringing in) outside mainstream stars and actual athletes to come in and headline and draw in viewers with feuds WWE didn't ever really start or even write themselves.
It shows how totally inept Vince and WWE is at actually creating quality content. Instead just write big enough checks and rely on the money to bring in the talent that will bring in viewers. 1999 Vince would be rightfully embarrassed and probably criticize and bash what has become today's 2019 Vince (who is essentially 2019's equivalent to Bischoff/Turner) in terms of their creative talent and dedication. |

Are you talking about the 1999 Vince that had just spent untold millions in the 80's and 90's bringing in mainstream stars to sell his product further?

This is also an excellent move for Tyson Fury considering he is not drawing well in the US. Given that he is ultra charismatic, he will easily win over fans who will follow him into his rematch with Wilder.

Like the new set a lot more than Raws. Cain was a surprise. Didn't know he was done with AAA. Glad they got the championship off Kofi as well.

Meltzer being weirdly defensive about people saying that Cain Velasquez's body looks like shit, esp next to Lesnar

According to the Observer, SD's debut was actually lower than what FOX did last year during this same week.
SD reached 4.22 million as the peak viewership during the Rock's segment and dropped by 360k for the women's tag match. Also suffered a 222k drop during the 8-man tag and Tyson Fury stuff. Quote:

Also seems the crowd was not happy when they got baited with an expected live Austin appearance and it didn't happen. Same for a bunch of WWE's locker room rallying behind Kofi after how badly he was treated at the end of the show.

At the very least, no one on WWE's roster since Cena in 2003, whether they got their start in WWE or elsewhere, has gone on to actually be more well known than the WWE stars that came before them as a result of being involved in WWE and the "guts and creativity" of Vince/WWE. |

I have no idea why they decided to just bury Kofi Kingston after the year he has had; other than utter stupidity. I would have been fine with the outcome had there been a competitive match. And it would have served some justice to Kofi's reign and year except WE HAVE CAIN VELASQUEZ! FUCK EVERYTHING... CAIN VELASQUEZ!!! CAIN VELASQUEZ!!!!!

Dunno who Cain Velasquez is other than a UFC guy. Don’t know anything about his history with Lesnar, although I can infer from the exchange they had. I will say Cain should have kept his top on, bigger love handles than I’ve got. He looked like shit, having seen pics of him from his UFC days I felt that he’s never been a body guy.

I have no doubt he’s in great shape. He still looks like shit.

Punk didn’t look like shit and the other three wear shirts when they wrestle.
Really bad take, Daveed. |

Brock beating Kofi is good. Cain being in is good. Tyson Fury is good. There’s plenty to dislike about WWE, but those things aren’t among them.

He’s a star. FOX would like them having stars.

He’s a star to a certain audience - an audience that WWE want to court no doubt - but to 90% of people he’s nobody.

I didn't recognize him at all. But if he gets more eyes on the show, then it's good for everyone I guess.

Too bad Cain doesn't look like he lifts. Lesnar looked jacked and more belieavable (even though IRL Cain is probably more badass).

I do find it interesting that people are really on the dude about his physique. Aesthetics are important, but everyone knows this guy is bad-ass and can believe it. If he were an unknown out of the PC, I would understand it more.
