The Wrestling Thread

Just watched the Andre the Giant Documentary on Sky Atlantic what a man! Brilliant watch if you haven’t seen it!

 

So looks like joe is winning mitb. Don’t mind that at all.

He’s 7/2 online if anyone’s interested .

 

Monday’s Money In the Bank go-home edition of WWE RAW, featuring Braun Strowmanwinning a Fatal 4 Way main event over Kevin Owens, Finn Balor and Bobby Roode, drew 2.730 million viewers. This is up from last week’s 2.525 million viewers, which was one of the lowest audiences in show history.

For this week’s show, the first hour drew 2.751 million viewers (last week’s hour 1 – 2.594 million), the second hour drew 2.812 million viewers (last week’s hour 2 – 2.593 million) and the final hour drew 2.629 million viewers (last week’s hour 3 – 2.390 million).

This week’s Money In the Bank go-home edition of WWE SmackDown, featuring a ten-woman main event, drew 2.183 million viewers. This is up from last week’s 2.138 million viewers, which was a new 2018 low and the lowest SmackDown viewership since the Halloween 2017 episode, which drew 2.119 million viewers. The last non-holiday SmackDown episode to do as bad was the June 13th, 2017 episode, which drew 2.072 million viewers.

 

Money in the bank should be good.

Missed the last few weeks.

 

Such a by-the-numbers show last night. Mens MITB was dull, and for the first time I groaned a bit when Braun won. Hopefully it does mean he takes the belt from Brock at least. Thought Ronda was the only match with any real buzz to it other than the opener with Bryan. Not saying AJ/Nakamura wasn't a great match, but the feud is so flat now.

Highlight of the show was Hannibal Burress sitting in the front row.

 

Braun bulldozing the ladder was my highlight

 

Alexa defo has dirt on HHH and Steph a wee threesome or cheating has went on there!

 

Ronda is brilliant can't wait till she murders Alexa

 

Aye she's good in the ring and has potential to be great, but * me she's so bad on the mic.
