And this was the 1000th episode, had over a dozen returning legends, was promoted for the past 2 months, had an extra hour and the main event was a title match with Cena cashing in his MiTB against Punk. Like, what do they have to do? Crucify Justin Bieber?

Well, to be honest, Raw would have cleared the 4.0 rating mark with no trouble at all if not for the first hour, which dragged the overall three-hour-plus telecast down a little bit. It's still the most viewed Raw in ten years. An astonishing feat.

Let the mark wars begin....

Q8 and Q9 placement is really weird. So HHH/lesnar was already over by 4 minutes into that quarter? Rest is just Tout, WWE 13, Raw 1000 and commercial crap? WTF?

That whole segment's placing really made me scratch my head.

[Hazaq]

Indeed, I willing to bet top of the hour 2 did poorly.

[Punked Up]

Next week I predict 3.1 for hour 1, 3.4 for hour 2 and 3.3-3.5 for hour 3. After that - 3.2 range for a while, they'll go from there.

Meltzer said that The Rock segment did monster numbers in specific demos and was the biggest growth of the show("through the roof" as he said). The Cena/Punk actually LOST viewers from what Dave says UNTIL the run in from The Rock and Show. Cena/Punk match lost viewers from the segment with Taker and Kane. From what Dave said, Stephanie/HHH/Heyman did decent, same with Taker/Kane but it wasn't "through the roof" in both cases. Slater's payoff was a big success and grew after the top of the hour. The lowest quarter did around 3.5.

except that means Danielson and AJ's wedding drew the number not Dwayne.

Imagine The Rock calling Mae Young's son a Oompa Loompa - 10 million viewers on the spot with Twitter exploding forever from overload. Don't forget who his father is...y



Classic.
