DAT OVERRUN

[Jammy]

Copy pasting from somewhere else
Raw segment-by-segment numbers:


Quote:
The big difference between this and a usual three-hour show is that all the hype about Vince McMahon in the first segment saw the show open at a 2.88 rating, well above the usual start of a three-hour show. Not only that, but those people who tuned in early instead of staying, they tuned out after as Sheamus vs. Tensai lost 415,000 viewers. Vince backstage with Laurinaitis and Teddy Long, Tensai destroying Sakamoto and Big Show knocking out R-Truth gained 146,000 viewers. Santino Marella & Layla vs. Ricardo Rodriguez & Beth Phoenix and backstage with Vince plus a Daniel Bryan interview gained 98,000 viewers. Bryan doing an interview with C.M. Punk, Kane and A.J. involved gained 978,000 viewers, but that was the audience that mostly forgot about the 8 p.m. start and tuned in. The Dolph Ziggler vs. Christian vs. Jack Swagger vs. Great Khali match and the Ryback squash gained 4,000 viewers. Backstage stuff with McMahon, Hornswoggle including making fun of Jim Ross lost 145,000 viewers. Big Show vs. Kofi Kingston in a cage match at 10 p.m. gained 320,000 viewers to a 3.59 quarter. Sin Cara vs. Curt Hawkins lost 450,000 viewers. Vader vs. Heath Slater gained 324,000 viewers, which is impressive for that point in the show, especially since Vader hasn’t had a strong TV run in the U.S. since the late 90s. A.J. & Punk vs. Bryan & Kane lost 19,000 viewers. The show’s final segment with Vince, Laurinaitis, John Cena and Show gained 721,000 viewers.

Lol at no credit given to Bryan/AJ/Punk/Kane. Partly true tho but atleast they didn't tune out. Which is good.
Good on Bryan for gaining 98k viewers, Im sure this includes viewers that tuned out for Mixed tag match. Good signs overall.
Sheamus v Tensai loosing viewers must be worrying for them, since Sheamus is being pushed to the moon.
Huge overrun is not surprising since all involved in it are proven draws
Lol at Vince and swoggle loosing 146k viewers.

Kudos. If you can, you should do that every week as it gives a much clearer breakdown of things tbh.

So a 300,000 vewiers gained is not a "weak gain" for the 10PM slot now? God, how I love biased reporting

Other than that not many surprises from the breakdown other than the very good start for a 3 hr Raw, advertising Mc Mahon for the opening segment was a good move.

So he hacked the Nielsen ratings? Seemingly Dave does this weekly if that is your theory.

It is.

It has nothing to do with bias and everything to do with well established trends.

This place can be really fanboyish.

That's not his point. Fact is when Meltzer doesn't like someone he has no problem putting them down and taking shots at that person. For instance, Meltzer doesn't like Bob Backlund. In fact, it could be said that he hates Bob Backlund. When he brings up Backlund he consistently takes shots at the guy. He called Backlund naive, slow, incompetent in his money because he invested it in bad businesses. On the other hand, Meltzer is a Flair mark. For years Meltzer said nothing about Flair's wasteful spending, his overcompensation of alcohol that leads to him getting naked and flashing everyone, or other embarrassing activities. Seriously, most of us didn't learn about the extent of Flair's problem until several months ago when some reporter from a newspaper wrote about it. Do you seriously think Melzter, one of the top journalist on the wrestling business, didn't know about this? For a while the worst you hear Meltzer say about Flair was the mentioning of the plane ride from hell.

Also, I don't get why people keep saying Rock316AE is Meltzer. I heard Meltzer and Alvarez say a bunch of things that Rock316AE disagrees with. Just recently, Meltzer said that NWO is going to do a bad buyrate and that the Big Show angle this week on Raw did nothing to sell the PPV. He even mentioned that someone in the company called or texted him and said they were worried that the PPV was going to bomb. I'm pretty sure Rock316AE is a Roode fan and I heard and read Meltzer and Alvarez question whether Roode should be the guy and imply that Roode is the reason why TNA's ratings have fallen the past few months. Rock316AE thinks WWE should fire the entire roster, especially the indy, vanilla midgets, but Meltzer and Alvarez have said that WWE needs to continue to push these younger stars instead of the WWE's current method of push, stop out of lack of interest, and depush. There are a bunch of other example that I would have to look up, but I made my point.
