RATINGS BREAKDOWN FOR THIS WEEKS RAW 4/9

Raw on 4/9 did a 3.10 rating and 4.29 million viewers. The show was third for the night on cable. The show did a 2.4 in Males 12-17, 2.7 in Males 18-49, 1.0 in Girls 12-17 and 1.1 in Women 18-49 with a 69.3% male skew. It was down 21% from the 5.46 million viewers of the week after Mania show last year, and last year there was no bombshell along the lines of the Brock Lesnar return on the night after Mania show.

In the segment-by-segment, Brodus Clay & Santino Marella vs. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger lost 99,000 viewers.

Backstage with Laurinaitis with Miz an Cena, Marella looking for the Three Stooges and R-Truth vs. Cody Rhodes gained 255,000 viewers.

Lord Tensai vs. Yoshi Tatsu lost 415,000 viewers.

The mic work between C.M. Punk and Chris Jericho in the top of the hour segment gained 379,000 viewers to a 3.19.

Punk vs. Henry and the post-match with Jericho pouring beer all over Punk, as well as the quick Del Rio vs. Ryder match lost 169,000 viewers.

The Three Stooges in-ring segment lost 240,000 viewers and was the low point of the show at 2.90.

The Brock Lesnar interview gained 423,000 viewers.

And the Cena vs. Otunga match with Lesnar run-in gained 301,000 viewers, which is a very weak overrun number, finishing at 3.42.

All championships were defended on the show, Mae Young gave birth to Hornswoggle, and Ziggler & AJ got covered in shit. What brought in the ratings? probably the latter two.

So... shit draws?

But then how come ratings lately have been in the 2.* range? All of the 3 hour Raws have been shit, but they continued to lose viewership.

Curiouser & curiouser...

many of you fail to get whats really a draw, if somebody is not promoted then how would they know to tune in, flairs return a few weeks back was not known at all, so even if it did high ratings or not you can't really say it was flair's draw that did it since it wasn't promoted

im praying for a sub 2.0 rating, with that horrible christmas eve show and this weeks show i hope its under 2.0, but will probably be same as last week, 2.2

There's any number of ways that an unadvertised return can gain viewers. Channel-surfing, contacting friends, the internet. In an age where news spreads faster than the speed of light, I don't even know how it can be argued.

Do you think all of those people just happened to tune in randomly at the point of Flair's return?
