Ah okay, I thought you were talking about the Cena/Tensai match that main evented. This was the one with the Cole angle. It's an impressive gain, but the rating/viewership was low. So nothing that impressive about it, really. The overrun with Cole gained another 200k and only did a 3.1. Punk/Show had an impressive gain as well as an impressive viewership in Q8.

Ryback's first time losing viewers, right? Who cares, he's still awesome and that wasn't too many. Just have him keep calling out more guys and get like 3 wins a night. See how that does.

Lawler vs. Punk did well, Punk cut a nice promo to build it at the beginning.

I'm at a loss for why Orton/Sheamus/Del Rio/Ziggler lost. Seems like that would get 250k.

Bryan brings in DAH RATINGS like the GOAT he is. (slow applause).

Please, let's leave the blind Bryan fandom out of this thread. I'd prefer not to vomit.

HHH doing the biggest is expected, it was by far the biggest attraction on the show with the most hype which is why the random tag lost that much after that. I imagine that the HHH promo also helped the match before because his segment started minutes before the top of the hour.

This is what I was wondering when I saw this breakdown. I checked the segment time and as KO bossy as already noted in this thread earlier, HHH segment started at 9:50. Since Meltzer takes the entire quarter as a whole, he has credited the gain to Bryan/Truth match which was only 6 mins. The gain was actually two quarters back to back. Not that I'm complaining about it or anything since thats how it has always been reported by newsletters. Just pointing it out.

Anyways, Not a bad rating for 3 hours RAW but its gonna get worse, really worse in two weeks because of the lack of starpower on the show. Punk fans better be prepared for this lol.

[The Cynical Miracle]

Jesus Meltzer said on his radio that the Orton/Seamus vs Del Rio/ Ziggler match was designed to keep viewers watching because it has Orton and Sheamus in it.

Yeah. it somewhat failed then.

[D.M.N.]

I absolutely hate how websites (presuming Wrestling Observer in the first place) dump different quarters together to create a gain/loss and to spin it.

What's the point of that? It's happened twice in this week's quarter hours.

[murder]

Orton comes back hot and gains viewers every week. Then taps to ADR, and the monday after, he loses viewers. Not hard to figure out what happened there.

Fucking hell this shit got technical in a hurry. DAT TRIPLE H WIT DEM TEARS.

EDIT - He should also get the credit for the previous quarter too imo since he was in 10 minutes of the 15. DMN, where you at with your weekly thing lol?

It's boring and stale. The ratings and the product. Always between 4 million and 5 million. As proven:

Q1 - 4.170m
Q2 - 4.010m
Q3 - 4.010m
Q4 - 4.449m
Q5 - 4.974m
Q6 - 4.850m
Q7 - 4.636m
Q8 - 4.868m
Q9 - 5.125m
Q10 - 4.549m
Q11 - 4.418m
Q12 - 4.897m
Overrun - 4.897m

Okay, I lied. Sort of. But it is a sad state of affairs when none of your current roster can do wonders ratings wise. The only credit goes to Daniel Bryan and Damien Sandow for doing well in hour 2 after Cena versus Miz, a 300k drop through that hour is quite impressive.

Unless WWE start to take risks and do things outside of the box, that's how it will be until December time. I'd like to be proven wrong, though.
