NXT ratings drop again

Quote :

Viewership for this week's episode of WWE NXT on Syfy dropped 10 percent from the previous week, down 1.16 million viewers from 1.30.

The premiere episode drew 1.70 million viewers while the second episode saw a slight increase to 1.73. Viewership dropped 25 percent the following week, to 1.30 million viewers.

To compare, ECW was averaging between 1.15 and 1.20 million viewers before the final two weeks of the show when WWE announced the brand would cease. (source: www.pwtorch.com)

I think this show is great and I hope it doesn't get canceled. I think it would have drop really low to get canceled. What show does SyFy have that will do better then NXT? Star Trek re-runs? I think they are going to have to step up the star power a bit. I think they need to have one top card face make an apperance each week and plug the shit out of it on Raw.

Hey, I resent that.

I LOVE Star Trek Reruns, I mean after all, it is a Science Fiction Channel. LOL

Well still better than TNA numbers. Oh and i love star trek

That is a shame, I am enjoying NXT and I really hope ratings pick up.

It's no longer a science fiction channel, thats why the changed the name, a bit. Although, I stopped watching reruns on that station but it doesn't seem like it's actually changed like they said it would.

Anyways, NXT is alright and I'm a fan of the concept but I saw this coming. Hopefully they don't start consistently go under WWECW (in ratings in the future, well hopefully they don't go under WWECW (in ratings) ever but still.

The concept is fun. I think they should add some more top face star power. Have Cena or Edge show up and do a promo. They don't have to compete, just being on the show could boost the ratings.

The ratings will encrease as the talk starts to spread. but guy wouldn't you rather see TNA on the same day and time of NXT. TNA would go up in views during the second half and it would make the debates a lot better. And thursday was kind of lonely this week. Sigh!

As long as NXT can even equal ECW's ratings, this will still be a positive move for the WWE. This puts a heavier emphasis on the development of stars and it doesn't have to shame defunct promotions to do it.

Can someone posr what was WWECW rating I don't think it was too much different
