ah 2.78 is the rating? ic basically 2.8. not a bad raw imho i really enjoyed the ending. only thing i disliked was that brodus clay with r truth shit

anyways does anyone have the results of how many tuned viewers in/tuned out for each segment. something like that was posted for last weeks raw in this section of the forum. if anyone can post that here would greatly appreciate im just curious to see thank you

The rating is very bad considering the effort WWE put into the show, Cena opening the show and advertising the ME, Vince vs Punk, most midcarders getting less time than usual to make room for Punk/Heyman, general more effort in skits/promos, Ryback beeing put together with the maineventers on screen etc. However, it's understandable, the show has no momentum at all, if their rating from last week was 3.0 than they would have scored around a 3.4 or so, but alas they're moving up from a 2.5 so the overall rating couldn't have gotten that much better in the end I guess.

Vince should definitely return to TV though, not for ratings, but for entertainments sake, he's still one of the GOAT characters, going strong at 67 years old.

I agree with you. I really enjoyed yesterdays show. I hope it draws decent numbers.

It's an increase over last week's year low rating, this is not bad. Not at this time with RAW being 3 hrs and MNF to compete with.

What they should be concerned about is the third hour viewership imo. It looks like with the new three hour format they have effectively managed to kill that viewing pattern where we have a big gain at 10 pm and the main event. I think this is what Dave Meltzer talked about when 3 hrs was first announced, comparing with wCw and how they burned out their viewers with three hours. If Vince Mcmahon is planning on going back to two hours, then better do it before its too late.

Punk has done it!!Punk has finally done it!CM Phil has PROVED he is THE MAN!Fuck you Punk haters,fuck you .
After consecutive dip in Raw is Le Punk viewership,that registered the lowest rating in over 15 years,Punk all by himself managed to push Raw near the 4 million viewership mark i.e without any sort of help from part timers or King Guan Sena.

Vince McMahon is a bigger draw than Cena,Punk and anyone today

[Marv95]

and MNF to compete with.

It's not an excuse. They've been competing with MNF since the show started. Even 6 years ago(which isn't too long ago) they were getting almost a point higher, sometimes more . 3 hours is too much but stop using football as an excuse when they've done much better ratings before this era took place.

He was on the biggest draws in the AE. Im big a fan of Austin but lets not forget what Vince did for Austin. They both made it what it was worth back then. In 2009 people notice the big ratings that's because of Vince and his family lets be honest here without them Raw will suck in that year.

Austin vs McMahon = The greatest and most entertaining time in pro-wrestling
