There is a ratings thread already.

Bryan and Punk had the exact amount of time both weeks and in the same timeslot, so obviously the change in ratings had nothing to do with them. Nice try, though.

Merging with the ratings thread.

So ratings still mean draws on this site?

Ratings are for sponsors. They don't translate to ticket/merch sales.

Like I said, I hope WWE gives us intense rivalries instead of depending on comedy and BBQ sauce to draw. Segments like Cole vs Cena might be funny and bring in ratings due to curiosity, but they make wrestling seems as a joke.

Oh and WWE seems to have lost their key demographics this week. Part of it is the playoffs, but I am sure it was RAW as a show as well.

The big item for USA Network and advertisers is the key male demos declined compared to last week's year-low show. Monday night, Raw hit year-lows in males 18-34, males 18-49, and males 12-34. The only demo that was up was teen males 12-17 on the week John Cena returned to Raw after a one-week absence.

"You a wrestling fan or a ratings fan? I'll take cross over seg telling a good story over covering a non-wrestler with condiments any day."

Punk's tweet.

That is up from last week but with way less competition on TV (no Hatfields & McCoys for one), it is hardly anything for WWE to feel good about. As I said on my hotline today, the first words out of Vince McMahon's mouth next week on Raw should be "You're Fired!" to John Laurinaitis. That storyline is killing the company and the talents that are being made subservient to it. It's boring, predictable and turning viewers away. If this rating, with almost no competition, doesn't send Vince and creative a message, they are deaf, dumb and blind. That only worked for one entity and that was The Who's Tommy.

I got a feel Vince McMahon will fire John Laurinaitis on raw next week.

They should have Big Johnny do more fucked up stuff to wrestlers if he wants to get over as a Vince character. He also should get a better stable. I doubt the casual fans give a care in the world about a corporate team featuring Otunga, Tensai, Hoeski and Big Show.
