It took two hours, but I finally got my tickets! I'm hoping it doesn't take this long to purchase the Raw tickets.

Xfinity puts it On Demand online in HD, which is as far as I know, the only way to watch it in HD right now.

Oh, that's ok, I thought they where just letting him fade.
Nice, cheers.
Yeah, my usual sources are slow on the HD uptake for this. Hopefully it either gets rectified, or somewhere in the UK picks up the show.
Yeah, I thought the same until I asked why he wasn't used a couple of shows back, and that's the reply I got too.

More notable is that their live audiences do not reflect the viewer demographic at all, so they have many viewers, well over half, who are over 40 who watch WWE on TV, but don't go to the live shows.
So whatever they are doing, with RAW, is not appealing to their audience, at least not to the point that they will pay to see it.

Puts Vince in a hard position. They can either completely focus on being an advertising company for Mattel or put out a watchable product to save the failure that is WWE Network.
because there's not many kids that own their own credit cards and the ones that do would have no interest in WWE

Wow. I was skeptical about the praise Lucha Underground was getting. After years of being fed shit by WWE, I assumed that I just wasn't much of a wrestling fan anymore. I still liked indies and Japan for their ring work, but WWE has turned storytelling in wrestling into a complete embarrassment.
Now, I have caught up on Lucha Underground and am beyond impressed. In one two-minute video, I learned more about Sexy Star (ugh at that name) and why her character wrestles than everyone in the WWE combined, male AND female. I went into this week thinking Chavo Jr. was a scrub who owed his livelihood to the Guerrero name and he shuts my ass up by delivering a kick ass pretaped interview addressing EXACTLY that.
The in-ring product has been great as well, if for no other reason than it being a place to watch Ricochet after WWE foolishly passed on him.
I don't know if wrestling is still a sustainable business for anyone but (including?) the WWE, but I really hope things work out for Lucha Underground, because they are really giving an under-served segment of the wrestling fanbase what it has been craving for a long time.

I'm going to watch NXT tonight. Thinking that if it doesn't grab me like the last several haven't, I'm going to drop it from weekly viewing.

Spitting on Eddies grave or something, beast heel.
Also if you don't listen to the Powerbomb Cast you should, Jeff laid some real truth at the end of the latest ep, was so good.

Lucha Underground thoughts
- Vampiro has to be up there as one of the worst announcers/interviewers. Why not have Striker do the Chavo interview?
- The backstage segment with Mundo was pure cheese. I didn't mind the backstage stuff the first couple of weeks but I'm starting to sour on them. The style and production difference between them and the rest of the show just comes off poor.
- Triple threat was ok but most of the match came off as super choreographed.

It sort of reminds me of Spartacus..... and that makes it awesome.
Just realised the Mil Muertes match was the first segment I've skipped at all. Really interesting character, but he is pretty bad in the ring. Hope they keep him to multiman matches where possible.
Also, in response to the thoughts up there, I liked Vampiro with Chavo. I don't like him doing colour (although he's bareable, unlike certain other colour teams) and the main event was so goddamn good I wouldn't have minded if one of them pulled out a script to make sure of his next spot.
The Mundo section was a bit cheesy, but it was Robert Rodriguez movie cheese. It's acceptable for the occasional segment. Even if it was their worst backstage segment, it was still better than anything on the last Raw I watched backstage wise.... Maybe if HHH and Orton actually kissed, I'd have a different opinion.

What does this mean for Cena?
So you really think them making the product back to how it was before the change will make a difference? PG is not a problem and besides its a harder PG than in the past. Its all about the writing.
Besides Lucha Undergrounds Avg age of viewers is 49.
I watched that triple threat and it was good but one move broken out was made fun of being Indie on this forum.

They should make the best product they can with the resources they have (while they still have them). Making a quality children's product that isn't an embarrassment to adults is a lot harder than making an adult product that kids will gravitate towards because that's what kids do. It's not rocket science.
Almost makes me want to pay for premium. Unfortunately, I am quite cheap. I don't even have Amazon Prime anymore.
No. Fucking idiot.
Are you fucking kidding me? How many 7-14 year olds are up until 11pm watching television on a school night?

Devitt's NXT music is pretty epic.

Got WrestleMania tickets against my better judgment. Hello, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns.
if there was a huge drop off after the first or second hour maybe.
but the ratings are usually consistent. 8-9 doesn't pull a 3.5 while 9-10 pulls a 2.5
