He had a good run in WWE. Almost 20 years. And he should get a lot of work outside of WWE.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Carlito is also on his way out.

[Ocelot]

I talked to RIck Martel and told him that Ron Killings posted a tweet about leaving the WWE and he said that it might be a WIZZORK!

[Hawq]

I think the appropiate phrase here is WTF? he's one of the most consistantly entertaining guys they have/had

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Ron is 53. There wouldn't be too many wrestlers that the WWE have signed to a contract at that age. Ric Flair and Hogan might be it.

Also, they are cutting down on doing house shows and bringing up NXT guys, so people are going to get let go.

[Hawq]

Little Jimmy getting the big push now they've given Truth the push

[Dr. Zoidberg]

She will be getting a name change. Probably Mariah with a different surname.

[Big Boss Man]

Mariah 'The Glamour' Valentine

WWE Raw May 26 episode scores all-time low viewership of Netflix era

Raw on 5/26 set the all-time Netflix low numbers, claiming 4.8 million hours viewed and 2.6 million devices viewing.

That number makes no sense unless it means only 15 percent of all viewers watched live, down from the Netflix claim of 80 percent in February. If that’s the case, there were only 390,000 live views worldwide and about 534,000 total viewers watching live throughout the world. Those are worldwide numbers, not U.S. numbers and completely implausible given last year the show would have done 1.27 million live viewers in the U.S. alone, let alone all over the world.

Realistically, based on 70 percent of the viewing to be seeing the 2:30 version of the show and 30 percent seeing the 1:43 version of the show, that would end up as 2,118,000 total devices viewed and with a generous 1.37 viewers per device, that would be 2,902,000 worldwide viewers.

For the U.S., that would translate as a seven day figure of 805,000 devices and 1,109,000 viewers. That would be roughly 937,000 same day viewers.

All figures are all-time lows for the show since the 1/6 episode. Netflix figures for the week have it down 4.0 percent in total viewing time and down 3.7 percent in total views from the prior week’s number which was the lowest total viewing time previously and lowest U.S. numbers to date.

Our figures have the decline from last week at 4.7 percent. This would be a decline of 44.6 percent from the U.S. viewership for the show the same week last year on the USA Network.

The show was listed at No. 6 for the week among English language television shows worldwide. However, that’s based on 2.6 million, a number that would only mean 534,000 worldwide watched it live. At 2,118,000 devices, it would be No. 10 among English language television shows and at best No. 32 among all Netflix shows for the week, because there were at minimum English language movies placing ahead.

Even though the show was the lowest, in many of the key markets it did place higher than the 5/19 show.

In the U.S., the show was No. 4 among English language TV shows, up from No. 5 for the 5/19 show. In the U.K., it was No. 9, the same as the prior week. In Mexico, it was No. 7, up from No. 10 the prior week. In India, it was No. 9, after not cracking the top ten the prior week. In Canada, it was No. 5, up from No. 6 the prior week. The show did not crack the top ten for the week in Saudi Arabia, New Zealand or Australia for either the 5/26 or 5/19 shows.

The bit of good news in the numbers is that early indications are the show on 6/2, with the numbers set to be released on 6/10, look to be an increase from the week before. In countries where the show aired on Monday night, it was No. 1 for the day in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, up from three, three and two for the 5/26 show.

I'm going to start posting the Raw/SD highlights videos from now on (when I remember), so we can keep up with what's going on without needing to watch the whole shows.

[Bandit]

It seemed like a decent show. It seems like Raw is the bad show now.

Seth Rollins almost wearing an outfit that a normal human being would wear.

The Burning Hammer move was banned for years when Vince was in charge so I was surprised to see it in a TV match. So props to HHH for that at least.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Don't step to Ron!

[Ocelot]

Told yall it was a WIZZORK

[Dr. Zoidberg]

If it was a work, Carlito and Sarah Logan would be back too.

They let him go, saw the buzz about him online and then re-signed him.

[Bandit]

Yeah, I think they didn't think 53 year old who just popped in every now and then for a comedy segment was going to get that kind of reaction. They probably thought like with Ron Simmons being released they can still bring him on once a year to say "DAMN!" and everyone would be satisfied with that. Another issue is with WWE tickets becoming so expensive now the fans were mad they brag about how much revenue PPV (excuse me, PLE) weekends make and think "You couldn't throw Truth a few hundred grand off of what you're charging us now?"

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I didn't know World's Collide was shown on YT. Here it is:

[Hawq]

Worlds Collide down (& pretty good fun it was too, loved how the stuffed igina got so over daft but entertaining which is what I want from my wrestling at times) Money in the Bank to watch tonight & gee I wonder if El Grande Americano will be showing some signs of wear & tear? for some uh... mysterious reason
