judge reinhold posted:What's with the catheter ads? Is there a lot of cross-section in the wrestling community and catheter users? Are there catheter users out there who, despite having something that would presumably be a big part of their life, not know that disposable catheters exist? Catheter ads seem to run on the lowest tier programming imaginable so I'm guessing that's why. I used to watch a lot of GSN at 3 AM and I learned everything I needed to know about catheters. Wrestling ad rates are really cheap so with it comes catheters.

Were wrestling ad-rates always really cheap or was that a result of raunchy/offensive Attitude-era writing?

Alain Post posted:Were wrestling ad-rates always really cheap or was that a result of raunchy/offensive Attitude-era writing? I think it's always been that way. A combination of perception/truth that wrestling fans don't have a lot of money, wrestling programming being cheap for the stations so not needing much ad money to turn a profit, and promotions traditionally making their money from live events and PPVs advertised by the show, not the TV show itself.

I think it was Rock Bottom 98 or Royal Rumble 99 where they announced that some lady had won a competition where the prize was a Stone Cold Steve Austin truck and JR said "that will look really great outside her trailer" and I have no idea if he was being serious or not E: Actually I can't be remembering it 100% right, JR was out of action at that time jesus WEP fucked around with this message at 23:52 on Jan 22, 2015 |

Alain Post posted:Were wrestling ad-rates always really cheap or was that a result of raunchy/offensive Attitude-era writing? Pretty much. Wrestling promoters used to trade their tapes for air time or the tape and a cut of the gate. When promoters started outright paying for time they relied on their live events to cover it (and in the old days they would.) In the 80s when Bill Watts bought a syndication network for the UWF he was doing tremendous ratings but the cost of it was too much, he couldn't make the kind of money he needed to cover it. Vince couldn't sustain his syndication network in the mid 90s (before the Attitude era) and the cost of TV is what killed SMW as well.

So hey, this story was briefly included in today's news observer news update but now it's gone. No one else seems to have seen it so I seem like a madman but I took a screencap!

I can't remember where I saw this, but there was a demographic breakdown showing that among the wrestling TV audience, the % of people who are uneducated and make like $30k was so much higher than for other shows. If they didn't have such good overall ratings (compared to the rest of cable TV), I doubt their ad rates would be worth anything at all because advertisers don't see value in their audience.

Dear Jim Cornette: Stop being a smug atheist. You say a lot of smart, on point poo poo but the charlie hebdo thing is such a can of worms, you can't sort it out in a 4 minute rant. Les Thatcher is a great interview tho.
