My apologies, I'd like to add that Batista/Rey as a team was pretty good too.

I just couldn't get into him on a regular basis. Like his feuds with Edge, Orton, Rey, etc just didn't click for me.

His matches with good stories to them were great though (Taker series, HIAC with Trips, Stretcher match with HBK).

Batista's matches vs Edge on smackdown always put me to sleep. Especially considering the fact that it seemed like they faced each other every week for two months straight. They're styles didn't mix well together. Now that I think about it. I actually hated that whole period of Smackdown.

So until when will the ratings thread be stickied? When Punk starts to consistently draw 3.0 and above?

Might as well cut the thread loose now 'cause I doubt that will ever happen.

Seriously.

Rose Bowl says whats up. Fiesta Bowl? Please, that is the least prestigious of the BCS bowls.

I'm not disagreeing with you at all about the first part tho. "OH NO NFL OMGZZZZ!! RATINGS BL00W!!" Well ya except for the 15 million watching the BCS...

I get what you're getting at though but I still hardly think that in this day and age the top guy is responsible for the rating.

There have been people I dislike that have won the belt and occasionally it can actually end up being a good reign. I think people don't set their differences aside and look past their dislike for someone.

Sorry if that makes no sense, it's 4 AM.

Well, personally, I don't bother with these threads at most times, because I know media has evolved so much since a long time ago, and there are much more ways to watch WWE now, you don't really have to watch it when it airs or even on Tv at all. I will watch on TV when ever I have the chance, but I know there are just some things in the WWE that just isn't going to force someone to wanna watch it when it airs. The "it begins" thing had me so hyped, but damn, the only thing that made that show, was the actual fact the the man returned in the first place.

I'd watch it with the smartass attitude.

And it'll be stickied here probably forever, or until caring about ratings stops being a popular thing.

Lol, the sticky is clearly a way for the fanboys (aka Mods) of this site to offload the fact that their hero is a failure. Nobody bothers to read stickied threads except the Raw thread.

You really like being a shit stirrer don't you.

Course. It's good fun.

Punk isnt why ratings are bad, it is because the product is consistently below average.
