The WWE is quite literally one of the worst things on TV at the moment (that I know of), so getting 3 million + people to tune in every week is still impressive.

Wrestlingforum Ratings logic: Ignore fact that show is 180 minutes long, and writing is less than mediocre. Blame it on one person because LULZ I HATE HIM.

Much love for this thread.

People will just call you a CM Punk mark because of your sig.

And I do agree though with what you said. The only reason people blame Punk is because they don't like him. No, it's not the fact that 3 hour RAWs have historically done poorer in ratings and maybe 3 hours every week is making people burn out of watching because it is too much for some people.

A 2.7 isn't a bad rating, especially for a 3 hour show.

Ratings and shit like that are rarely the fault or because of one particular person. This includes when times are good. There's nothing happening on RAW. It wouldn't matter who the champion is, or where the show is, if there's nothing that's "must see" about it, nobody will watch it.


Things need to change. I mean serious change. I mean serious and significant change. Changing the champion will move the needle a bit maybe but it still won't be anything special. The audience just isn't there anymore and the show is doesn't have anything noteworthy anymore.


the days of 10 million people watching wrestling is dead. 3 million is good but nothing compared to 10, people need to realize...can't NOBODY bring that audience back.


Only thing you can do is try new things and change it up.

If Vince really want a rating he should just insert this Punk and Ryback fued into the Cena and AJ love story, make AJ kiss all of them. Love stories = rating. Oh and having Big Show cry in the ring = ratings as well.

Seriously though 3 hours is too much for the mediocre storylines they have going throughout the show.

I don't think there was ever a time when WWE had 10 million viewers.

I was exaggerating with the 10 million viewers, I have no idea what's the most they've ever had because ratings aren't important to me, I was sort of making a point that they will never go back to Attitude Era viewers...whatever that was.

Where is Rock316 when you need him lol.

I may be wrong but the highest was maybe around 8 million in the USA, but if you count other countries it might have been close to 10 million.

That's why I said 'if I was a casual'. They probably don't realise the potential of a Punk/Heyman segment and just give up on the show as a whole.

People still give a shit about the ratings? no wonder i never come in this thread, it's full of idiots.
