4.3 million viewers is still A LOT and generally always top 5 in cable for Monday Night.

In terms of sheer ratings, the WWE would be happy with those numbers even if it doesn't meet certain criteria.

Top shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad on AMC garner around 2-3 million viewers weekly, and they're talked about religiously amongst pundits. The Walking Dead is on another level, garnering attitude era-esque numbers ranging from 6-8 million weekly.

Im sure Cena/Lesnar segments drew, its just the utter creative garbage in between didnt.

I really believe Brock was the biggest drawing star in UFC considering those buyrates. He could've stayed on top for a lot longer if it weren't for him rushing back from his injuries.

All of Brocks UFC fights add up to over 5 million in buyrates. Amazing numbers. There biggest draw ever no doubt.

That's exactly what UFC is about!

It's a business mate. Lesnar's the biggest star they have had by a mile.

LOL TNA marks. Its a well known fact kurt angle lacks in-ring psychology, relies on big spots too much.

So do I it never fails to dissapoint

As for the Lesnar discussion there is no argument that he was a great draw (possibly the best draw) for the UFC but I think alot of you are missing the "why" he was a great draw for the UFC(well at least one of the main reasons)

WWE (and wrestling fans) who never had been WFC fans for purchased UFC PPVS bought UFC PPVS to see Lesnar. UFC fans that aren't (and won't ever be) WWE fans are NOT going to tune into WWE programming and buy WWE PPVs just to see Lesnar thats why his UFC "drawing power" is not going to translate as much for the WWE. B/c the wrestling fans that purchased UFC PPVs to see Lesnar are already watching WWE (well some of them are still anyways LOL)

I think they did the right thing by having Lesnar/Cena open the show while the hype from his return the previous week was still fresh. RAW was shitty with fucking santino getting the most TV time.
