Yes, not only that but the second quarter was always a huge segment in terms of gain, I don't remember the exact date but somewhere in 2010 this segment became a ratings killer because of the boring and repetitive concept of the show. RAW at that time increased the audience for the entire show and for good reason, At this point Nitro had little to no effect on them.

This is interesting to look at. The rating actually grows as the show goes on. If only lol. Now we get big Q1, huge drop, sometimes 10pm brings them back, then a gain at the end. What a difference.

[greaz taker!]

thing is, people should really stop worrying about the ratings, we have modern day technology now, to the point where people can record it and then watch it next day! That is what i do, and so many others. OR People just decide to watch it online via streams or youtube now. Buyrates and ratings for shows on wwe will never be high again, people have other ways of watching them other than just on tv live.

Nobody is worrying about the ratings. We're just discussing them.

I can't wait for this weeks breakdown to come out since DB's in the second quarter, which means it'll be the first time in years that the second quarter doesn't lose viewers. I wouldn't be surprised if it does lose viewers with Big Show being int he match.

[Rock316AE]

lol, And it would not be "in years", since May maybe, in all seriousness, Show is a proven TV draw and you as a Bryan fan, needs to be happy that he carries him like that(what a brutal promo he just cut BTW)

[Carcass]

LOL, good one.

Even when WM gets over a million this year, I bet DB's haters are gonna give someone else credit for the buyrate instead of finally admitting he's become the second biggest star behind Cena.

Sad Miz,he is nothing now.

I get the feeling that this week's Raw will only get 2.8 at best due to the lack of Cena screen time.
