BFG thoughts and a sinking ship...

Now that Bound For Glory is behind us, I have to give my take on the PPV, the good and the bad. It was AMAZING!! without a doubt, THE best PPV of 2012 bar none. Yes, even better than Wrestlemania 28. The matches were awesome, and as I predicted, all the wrestlers I was predicting to win were the right ones. I loved the surprise appearance by Matt Morgan in the Al Snow/Joey Ryan match. I was expecting him to show up for the Aces & 8s match. This alliance with Morgan/Joey Ryan reminds me of the HBK/Kevin Nash alliance a little bit. We'll see what they will bring to the table come Thursday night on Impact. Now however, I would like to talk about a few things, including the state of WWE and Monday Night Raw.

Since July 23rd, 2012, Raw has been on a massive decline in ratings and people have been vocal about it. On the 1000th episode of Raw, around 6 million viewers tuned in to the show. Fast forward to the 16th of October, the viewership has dropped to 3,98 million. That's 3,2 million drop folks. To say that the WWE is bleeding within is an understatement. Ever since they went PG, people have been changing the channel simply because it's just not possible to watch a show that has the same wrestlers in the main event. Here is a ratings and viewers comparison numbers since July 23rd.

7/23 RAW: 6.02 million viewers (average)

7/30 RAW: 4.50 million viewers (average)

8/6 RAW: 4.37 million viewers (average)

8/13 RAW: 4.13 million viewers (average)

8/20 RAW: 4.48 million viewers (average)

8/27 RAW: 4.48 million viewers (average)

9/3 RAW: 4.20 million viewers (average)

9/10 RAW: 4.14 million viewers (average)

9/17 RAW: 4.1 million viewers (average)

9/24 RAW: 3.79 million viewers (average)

10/1 RAW: 3.5 million viewers (average)

10/8 RAW: 4.12 million viewers (average)

10/16 RAW: 3.98 million viewers (average)

 Every week, in every PPV, it's always John Cena that's front and center. He may be injured, but it doesn't mean he's not gonna be put back in the main event. Ryback is only there as a 'what if' because Cena's recovery time is in doubt. Vince Mcmahon is said to be high on Ryback, and while he's getting over steadily, he's not ready to main event Hell In A Cell. He might be pushed to the moon, but we will all find out that he won't cope with the pressure, mark my words.


While WWE continues to decline ratings wise and product wise, TNA are putting on their best display in recent years. I have high hopes for them, I will be giving suggestions on how they can get to the top, but that's for another time.
