Last Week
- Hour 1 - 1.8 18-49 rating
- Hour 2 - 1.7 18-49 rating

This Week
- Hour 1 - 1.6 18-49 rating
- Hour 2 - 1.6 18-49 rating

Horrible numbers in all honesty considering the time of year, very, very bad for the 'E. I don't like to put the blame on one person or angle, but I can't imagine Jericho 'trolling' the audience last week had the intended effect at all...

That will also be a 2.8 rating probably.

Now that is a DISGUSTING rating.

Was it the BCS or was it maybe the idea that perhaps not everyone thought RAW was "Fun" this week?


It wouldn't surprise me if viewers were lost the moment the "Pimp Hippo" made his debut.

ok so the numbers tell me it was a VERY bad raw and i obviously dont like it
now i need to know which wrestler i have to mark for and which one not

seriously now i found that raw pretty entertaining but i dont think i will be interested in jericho if trolls again but knowing wwe they will keep this trolling till after the rumble

For anyone blaming it on the BCS Championship, last year held up well.

I still don't give a crap.

Next week's rating will be the telling rating when Raw has no competition from Football.

Fucking ouch. Regardless of the rating, dropping below 4 million viewers is a bit of a disaster. Given the time of year it's even worse. It's pretty unfortunate too because I thought Raw was overall very enjoyable this week. The football game obviously had an impact since hour 1 was barely over the 4 mil mark to start with. Not good news for the E.

Punk wrestling Swagger in the 10pm slot, Ryder trying to change a tire and Jericho fake crying?

Of course the 2ndhour bombs.

Raw loses viewers as the show goes on.

I wonder what the reaction of the office is about this. Are they seriously admitting they are losing viewers and this is a problem or are they delusion and think the viewers don't know what they want.

I wasn't a fan of Raw tonight. Why even have it live? Half the time it's so bland. Crowd sucked too but you can blame that on the show. They'd cheer if there was a reason.

darn those numbers are pretty harsh
hopefully the guy in the office finally wake up

[SoupBro]

i guess we can all say the show was awful seeing that the ratings wont be good huh.

The show was entertaining. The majority on here liked it. Isnt that the point; to enjoy the show

[Mister Hands]

Punk, Jericho, Kane and Cena all in a second hour that loses ratings. I don't care that it lost ratings. I'm just wondering who WWE are internally blaming for it. I mean, I know it's asking a lot considering they're only now cottoning on to the fact that Cena's character could use some freshening up, but at some point, they have to realise that the problems run a bit deeper than "Oh no, the belt's on the wrong guy!" or "Hey, maybe we'll push that guy the internet likes! That'll shut them up." Maybe it's just that most things on Raw tend to be massively boring and ultimately trivial?

Question: wasn't Brodus' "controversial" debut right before the hour mark?
