Corbin's RAW IS LOW

Source: https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/wwe-raw-ratings-hit-another-record-low-272186

So the past couple weeks saw Baron Corbin’s RAW sink the show to new lows in the ratings and last Monday’s show began with a segment which saw top star and reigning IC champ complain about how much RAW has been sucking as of late.

Turns out telling people outright that the show sucks is NOT a formula for suck-cess and thus ratings continue to drop.

I have not been watching the show, but I’ve heard horrible things about the show; most of it revolving around the increased presence of one Baron Corbin. I’d hate to knock the guy because he’s just doing what he’s told, but honestly, it’s getting to the point where he’s becoming the male equivalent of Stephanie McMahon; somebody that prompts me to change the channel and never look back. Fortunately, I haven’t watched the show in ages and only follow through recaps, so I think I’m alright.

So Impact Wrestling Is Putting Up Old Shows On Their Youtube Channel

To celebrate their Youtube channel getting 2 million subscribers, Impact Wrestling will be uploading a couple full shows onto said channel.

Yesterday, they put up the very first NWA-TNA PPV. I wrote those on that show ages ago here.

Tomorrow, they put up the December 20, 2007 episode of TNA Impact.

And then on Friday, they put up Bound For Glory 2012.

Well, good for them, I suppose. I guess I’ll be checking those shows out eventually.

FOX Wants Legitimacy On Smackdown… And They Ask For Cold Ronda…

The last time Ronda was in anything resembling a “legit” combat match, she ate fist and took a year off. So if Ronda loses on Smackdown, she has to be off for a year or else there is no legitimacy to be had and it’s just another fake wrestling angle.

Smackdown moves to FOX in October 2019.

Didn’t Watch Survivor Series…

So I didn’t catch last night’s Survivor Series PPV… but in reading the results to the show – this latest edition of “brand supremacy” or whatever they call it to get a bunch of people in red and blue shirts to fight each other because… reasons… apparently, all the matches were won by RAW. So… why bother wasting my time with this shit?

Though I’ve heard good things about Brock vs. Bryan, so maybe I’ll just check that match out… but don’t expect me to do a full write-up or anything for the whole show because that ain’t happening.
