Then in July, Lesnar can keep their head above water.



Can't wait for panic reports in the WWE HQ when the 2.5-2.6s will be the regular. Hopeless company, everything is backwards.

Yeah, that will bring in the ratings. No, B-level feuds need to stay on the B-show. Vince wants Punk and Cena to work more SD's because Orton can't draw for shit.

Well, they deserve that until they grow some balls and turn Cena heel. That and the awful shows they've been presenting in the last month ever since Extreme Rules was over.

And Punk can.

People are going to shows to see Punk.

And you know this, how? There are three people that always get a consistently huge reaction: Cena, Orton and Punk. In terms of ratings, none of them are helping anything, though. This thread is about ratings and on that department, Punk has proved to be a disappointment.

You can get this vibe from the sound of my posts but no, I just know that their current roster and direction are hopeless. Then they're doing ridiculous decisions like the Network, 3 hours RAW, mid card material as default choices and Cena going over Brock clean, and you got a lot to back it up. They're at an all-time low in lot of aspects.

RAW did 2.72. Hours of 2.73 and 2.71.

This company can't do shit without The Rock. Lesnars credibility has been shattered so he can't help much when he returns. Can't say I'm upset with this as the show is crap right now and deservedly so. Horrible rating for a Horrible show.

You keep telling yourself that lol. Punk has had as much impact on live attendance as Orton tbh. Neither of them are stellar in that regard. SD is suffering more because it's SD and Orton is literally the only attraction there. If Punk and Orton were to switch places I can guarantee that Punk wouldn't be doing any better. Orton isn't the problem. He isn't helping matters for SD by any means because he is far from the draw he should be but he isn't the problem either. But of course, I await your Punk nut hugging response. Please, your posts never fail to crack me up lol.

EDIT - 2.72? Ouch. Then again, not really since they had to have been expecting it. It's like they know nobody is watching right now so they don't even bother. Vince is sitting at gorilla not giving a fuck while everybody else runs around like headless chickens lol.

Come on now. Its been proven time and time again that doesn't draw, you know better than this. Look past your undying hatred for Orton and past your undying love for Punk and realize that one man just doesn't draw like the good 'ole days.

Not even that, people are leaving before the Punk matches on house shows lol. Orton in the past did great house show business, he's not number 8 of the decade worldwide for no reason. SD is just a dead brand with no name value to attract your casual TV viewer.

Cena and Orton are still the only real attractions.

I'm a mark but I'm not going to inflate Orton's drawing ability. He's had one truly standout year in 2009 but I think that's about it. When he was absolutely white hot in mid 2010, business didn't move anywhere iirc. If it had I think they would have been prepared to push him ahead of Cena tbh. But it didn't happen. I don't know about how well he's done in other time periods though tbh. You're the number guy so I guess I'll have to take your word for it lol. Agreed on SD though. Save for moving Cena there and bringing back HHH or Taker or something, nothing will be able to bump the SD numbers. Hell, they were here in my town not too long ago and I didn't even bother going it's that bad.
