Its not long before Tna shifts back to Monday and Start competing for ratings with Wwe once again..

I wonder if this is a big enough wake up call for Vince to realize his product fucking sucks? How much longer are we gonna have to watch shit like this. The ratings are heading into the 1.9-2.0's and that's sad to see.

Something needs to happen soon or else Vince will lose more and more fans.. I actually think that's what he wants to happen.

the product has been different from how it was back then
its not a single guys fault
every segment with punk is f'n interesting..its not punks fault.
afterall, its the job of the babyfaces to draw more than the heels
punk was never the top face/draw of the company
even when he was face, they made him #2 to cena
now you cant complain that punk is to blame for it

Household ratings are irrelevant. A18-49 and C3 are the only important numbers!

ALWAYS start an argument by contradicting yourself.

Monday's RAW broadcast drew a 2.48 (2.5) cable rating, the program's worst rating for a non-holiday episode since October 27, 1997 (which drew a 2.3). This is below the rating for the Oct. 1, 2012 show, which garnered a 2.54 in comparison.

Now of course, they had some competition but this has been a pattern for a while now. I find it interesting that these low ratings are being compared to ratings in 1997. Although I think that the AE was just a perfect example of being at the right place at the right time (with the right people), does this mean that they may be able to turn it around again? Surely they have to realize that some things have to change with ratings this bad and I don't want this to turn solely into a "get rid of WWE PG" threat, but I do think that being able to swear or bleed at important moments and important feuds adds to the moment, because it makes a rivalry look real. No one believes there's real animosity between two wrestlers if one calls the other "poopy".

So basically the question is: Can the WWE turn this around (and what has to be done) or does a show like Monday Night Raw not fit in this time anymore as a show that gets 4.xx ratings. And should they hold on to the younger viewers or try to shift to a more adult demographic once again and hope that the children of 2000-2012 grow along with the product. Of course, most people on this forum would want an edgier Raw, but the question is if it would be succesful since all the forum members still don't add up to better ratings.

Monday's show was a complete mess and for that reason it deserves a low rating. If you are a casual fan then why would you sit through 3 hours being confused as hell and not knowing anything that is going to happen in the next hour as nothing gets announced these days.
