You act as if there wasn't still a big football game on Monday. Like say, the 2nd biggest bowl game of the year...

Gotta love how rating don't matter when IWC darlings like Punk and Bryan are champions.

Why exactly does it matter to me what a guy that I like draws for ratings. From what I've heard, HBK didn't draw shit yet he's still one of the best all time. Ratings don't dictate whose good.

I don't understand when ratings became more important than enjoyment. Using them as a scapegoat is fucking lame. If you don't like it, say that. But if you have to try to bring ratings into it then you really don't have an excuse.

I don't care about the ratings because I don't happen to own stock in the company and there's no legitimate threat to the WWE. If they're doing what I like, why should I complain? They should know by now that if they change all their ideas around last minute they're not going anywhere.

Daniel Bryan as world champ is absolutely laughable in a casual viewers eyes. The guys reaction to rolling up rhodes or whoever he faced was cringeworthy. Jumping around like a 5 year old girl? Embarrassing. Whoever wrote that can be blamed as well.

CM Punk will be jobbed out to Brodus Clay very soon. The guy is only likable by the IWC. Casual viewers probably don't even see why he is a face and why they should even like him. No good looks, Was an extremely hated heel who probably pissed off a lot of smokers/beer drinkers with his last role. He still acts like his arrogant character from the past but cornier except now he wants fans to like him, not working for casuals.

The WWE needs Batista back, many casuals I know loved the guy.

Listen to the live audience plz.

And no, Batista was horrible. Had about 10 high quality matches in his career and 5 of them came from a guy who wrestles once a year now.

As far as the ratings drop, I think the stanford/oklahoma state game was heading into overtime or had about 5 minutes left. I remember switching the channel away from the gauntlet match as well. I also remember seeing the end of the show with kanes rape hole.

I may be on here but I'm pretty casual.

I'm disappointed with the merging of the other ratings thread created because it completely destroyed my conversation. C'est la vie.

[The Cynical Miracle]

Overall the 3.1 rating is a good rating taking the stiff competition on monday into consideration, especailly at 9.00 which with explains the drop in the second hour.

Shut the fuck up I'm sick of people saying Batista was horrible he never was horrible I always enjoy his matches and I'm a punk fan too so don't bring up Batista because your arguments about him is irrelevant the casual loved him and he hold smackdown on his back and ratings were way better and higher than now. He had a great run when he was a heel, well if you dont like him than punk himself and others do respect him he have done alot for this business.
