Orton has lost 700k in that segment fwiw

I think he's even lost a million before. More factual proof that DB's a bigger star then Mr. 1.4 will ever be.

No one is tuning in to see Jericho anymore. Its 2012 not 2002. WWE should already have a new Jericho anyways. They are beyond slow with making a new batch of stars that they only have themselves to blame for the shitty ratings not Jericho. They fucked up Punk too so now they have to accept if he's not drawing as much as he would have had they kept pushing him as good as they were before Summerslam 2011.

at the Bryan marks in this thread. Just .

According to the Observer Newsletter, if everything is going as planned, Shaq is going to be on RAW from Boston March 5, Rock is also going to be there so that show should do a great number, I imagine HHH or Taker/HHH in the opening segment, Shaq/Show in the 10pm slot and Rock or Rock/Cena in the main event, should be a great RAW, not just for ratings.

With HHH/Taker already set, Rock/Cena on the horizon and Shaq on the way too, Raw just might start hitting DEM ATTITUDE ERA NUMBAZ DURRRR.

I think a 4.0 today is huge for RAW, this is the goal for WWE, they also need a segment with 7.3 million viewers just like last year, if they get this on the RTW? good sign for the buyrate.

With all that they seem to have planned, if they don't hit a couple of 4.0's I'd be worried lol.

I'm trying to find the 5.0 segments they did since the Batista contract signing in February 2005, I know Edge/Lita did 5.2 and it was the first 5.0 since then, not including the Trump show with no commercials. Interesting because Rock in Chicago last year did 4.8, would be interesting to see if they did a 5.0 since Edge and Lita and if they can do it again this year(I don't think so...)

[Starbuck]

Well their obvious problem is the fact that they can't maintain a high level of viewership once the big names are off TV. I guess having interesting lower card program is the key. If people only tune in for those big 3 programs, yeah, overall viewership will be higher but not as high as it could be if they were able to sustain some of those people during the dips between the big segments.
