What's the best weekly TV show?
Impact and ROH are both good, sometimes very good, but rarely talked about. Smackdown may win it this year. Talking Smack will get a lot of votes but I wonder if it'll be out of sight, out of mind by December.
I don't see RAW winning, but I see it coming in better than ninth. It is probably fourth best of the five new content WWE TV shows.
NXT and 205 Live are hot for a bit then cool off for weeks in terms of buzz, but I can see NXT winning again just because of the rep it has had in recent years. And that's not to say it isn't good either. It is. But the best of the year? Maybe.
I can't see Lucha Underground doing better than any of the six listed already. The change of buzz that show has had in two years is really sad.
