BKMac keeps winning and I don't know how.

Thanks hombre..He's got a nasty ear infection..But he's a tough little guy, so Im sure he'll be bouncing off walls by the morning..

bkmac must have hacked into the sim and rigged the outcome of our match..Things were slightly in my favor in the 1st spoiler..By the second I, somehow, didnt barely get a move in..But I did put up a fight for ages against the Liontamer..

  

hopefully he doing better. my little man was prone to getting them regularly because of his anatomy so i know how  much of a headache they can be. he's 3 now so he doesn't get them anymore but i feel for you.

He is, but it just scared me because my brother and I had to have tubes put in when we were kids cause we got so many earaches and infections..So thats all that was runnin' through my mind..But he's much better today..And I couldn't imagine having a kid under three thats prone to ear troubles..That must have been rough for you..

Same.  This is the first time I'm actually watching Smackdown on a Friday in a LONG time.

Not sure if this was already posted.
Zack Ryder is a Ratings FLOP

Raw on 1/9 got hammered by the second most watched television show in the history of cable television.

The Alabama vs. LSU BCS championship football game did a 16.22 rating and 24.21 million viewers. The only show in the history of cable to do more viewers was last year’s BCS championship game on January 10, 2011, with Oregon vs. Auburn that did a 17.76 rating and 27.32 million viewers. The third biggest would be an October 5, 2009, edition of Monday Night Football that did a 15.3 rating and 21.84 million viewers.

While Raw was a blah show, most people knew ahead of time it was a show where you shouldn’t throw too much out because any kind of big angle would be wasted and should be saved for 1/16, when the January ratings bounce back should start building for the next three weeks. If that doesn’t happen, then it’s something to worry about.

The show did a 2.86 rating and 4.00 million viewers. It was 9th for the night on cable, with four of the eight shows that beat them being related to coverage of the game in some form. Notable is that NCIS, the show at 8 p.m. on USA, did 4.18 million viewers (the game started at 8:30 p.m. but the pre-game show on ESPN did monster numbers as well). But NCIS doesn’t draw the heavy male demo that both football and pro wrestling do. NCIS beating Raw I think has only happened once.

The show did a 2.5 in Male teens (up 9%), a 2.7 in Males 18-49 (down 4%), 1.3 in Women teens (up 44%) and 1.1 in Women 18-49 (down 8%). The show did 68.7% male viewers.

In the segment-by-segment, Sheamus & Santino Marella vs. Wade Barrett & Jinder Mahal lost 238,000 viewers. Edge Hall of Fame package, Zack Ryder and Eve Torres backstage and Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston gained 100,000 viewers. The debut of Brodus Clay vs. Curt Hawkins plus Miz trying to recruit Primo & Epico lost 82,000 viewers. C.M. Punk vs. Jack Swagger gained 128,000 viewers and did a 3.00 rating in the 10 p.m. slot, which is terrible for the slot. Backstage stuff with Bellas and Miz and Ricardo Rodriguez, Cena and Ryder and the Four Horsemen vignette lost 193,000 viewers, which is actually much better than that segment usually does. The segment with R-Truth beating on Rodriguez and the Miz/R-Truth brawl, plus the second appearance of the mute Chris Jericho lost 130,000 viewers. Okay, this is something that is noteworthy. Eve Torres in the ring, Kane’s music hitting, Ryder trying to save her, getting her in the car and trying to change the tire lost 544,000 viewers and did a 2.39 quarter. To lose that many viewers that late in the show before the main event is something significant. And John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler and the conclusion of that segment gained 640,000 viewers, which is normal level, but it still was only a 2.84 overrun, which is the second lowest overrun figure (even the show that did a 2.71 in September hit 3.03 for the overrun), behind only the week they did Punk & Bryan & Ziggler in the trios match, dating back to 1997.

It blew my mind when they just said these guys are 3 time tag team champions.  Remember when titles used to mean something?
Heath Slater needs to die.

John Cena and Hornswoggle run IDENTICALLY.

 

[4wrestling]

She's cute but I hate her character. I can't stand her.

 

[Peep Game]

AJ is so &@^#%$@ adorable

 

[4wrestling]

Wow, it's crazy to see how pudgy The Rock was in 98

Cody Rhodes is the #%!#%$+ future.

 

[thedeek]

I felt like Cody's been IC champion for longer than 5 months.

If he pulls an Ultimate Warrior

 

[Case]

I know I'll get super hate for this, but the IC belt w/white strap looks so much better than any other belt in the E..And that includes the Big Gold..
