Re: **The Official Raw Ratings Thread** (Discuss Ratings In Here)
May is usually just fillers. Its not surprising. Every year numbers are down at this time of the year. The game was on 7 pm & 9:40 pm right? That might have had some impact.

Give it a month or so and once they get OTL, probably NWO too, over them things will pick up again as they always do.
Then Monday Night Football begins.

I think it's always that way during May. I can't speak on many years back but the last few years, the month of May has been utter shit. Last year, it was Super Cena's return after being away from the title for almost a year and the shows were generally awful until things picked up in summer. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any good crowds either until Long Island in June 18.

Yeah but they actually start trying again because they know if they don't they'll bomb and bomb hard. Jan - April = RTWM, May/June = filler crap where they don't give a fuck at all, July/August - Summerslam build and they start caring again, Sep - Dec = end of the year, depends on Vince's mood I suppose lol.
Re: **The Official Raw Ratings Thread** (Discuss Ratings In Here)
Down a lot over last may. They were doing 3.45 with things like Rock's birthday etc.
So of course you can list a whole lot of things as to why but the real reason is WWE has been down yoy a longtime. Less and less people are interested in it now.
And when they put out the crap they have been putting out recently can you blame them?
Being in the 2's for RAW is a bad sign.

I mean, I know this is historically the most boring time of they year, but can they at least try to be intriguing? In 2001 you had the unofficial start of the InVasion with WCW guys randomly showing up as well as Stone Cold and HHH trying to screw with Taker. 10 years ago you had the whole Austin/Flair/nWo stuff & Taker vs Hogan. In 2005 and 2006 you had ECW and May 19th(could've been real good but they completely dropped it). They at least tried back then.
