This is only the beginning of the CM punk devil angle.

Remember when Triple H was trying to be Ric Flair? Then they put a bunch of other wrestlers into the roles of Flair's old opponents, so that Triple H could role play like he was Flair. Shelton Benjamin was Sting, Buh-Buh Ray Dudley was Dusty Rhodes. Anyone else remember this?

Justin Gabriel would be a great Ricky Steamboat. I'm not sure how that is relevant to the conversation or anything, it is just something that I observed. I see a lot of babyface potential in Gabriel as a Steamboatesque babyface.

everybody just don't watch, keep that rating at 2.5 or lower, boycott

if mondays raw gets another 2.5 even with vince, vince would have to dig deeper and really have a game changer

if raws rating sparks to a 3.0ish then we are going to get the same thing as last time he returned, little spark but then back to normal with no real change

the only way vince will truly change the product for the better is if the ratings continues this way

I read somewhere that they only have two weeks to build for Rock vs Punk for Royal Rumble 2013 because of Rock's schedule. It would suck if thats true.

Or he'll continue to settle for mediocrity like he's done for the past half decade, and as CM Punk said, make money despite himself.

well this is a shocking new idea

i doubt anyone on this relatively small forum even has a nielson box. or buys ppvs

That's why we have this wonderful invention known as satellite.

But that's what it seems like so far although it's probably gonna be 3 weeks instead of 2. I'm pretty sure he's gonna return on the 20th anniversary show which is on 7th Jan and the RR is on the 27th so that's most likely 3 consectuive shows he's gonna work to build up the match.

Not like this would be anything new though. I remember the Rock/Hogan feud in 03 and he appeared via satellite for a couple of weeks and only did 1 appearance in person on the go home show.

Vince logic:

Instead of focusing on a few shows of amazing quality/popularity, saturate the market with a veritable shit-ton of shows, so that the total viewership across all shows is as much as when there was just RAW and 1-2 other things in the Attitude Era. It's not like the wrestlers are going to burn out. No.

Bring back Attitude. As much as the internet hates to hear that, the ratings would skyrocket and you know it. Also, bring back the Hardcore title!
