Was just posted in wrestlezone board, RAW Rating/Viewership since Summerslam -





Its true that you can't blame punk for three hours of poorly booked RAW, however he is the champion of the brand and these numbers evidently establish the fact, Punk just isn't the star he is required to be in that position. People seem to compare Punk with Kevin Nash due to low ratings but when you think about it, he's more of a Shawn Michaels imo.

Extremely talented champion but just not someone who can carry the show as its top star.

I think Punk is a lot more comparable to Diesel. Both as a talent and draw. I mean, why else would he be all over the top 10 lowest overruns? And yeah, that includes terrible overruns way before 3 hours started. And talent wise, he shouldn't even be put in the same sentence as HBK.

I give Punk credit for one thing. He's made looking forward towards the Raw ratings every week over the show itself more interesting. Whenever it's Tuesday (since Raw is on late at night over here), I think "another week, more ratings" rather than think about the show itself. You know Raw sucks when the ratings are more of a draw than the shows themselves, lol.

It wouldbe hilarious if the ratings go UP now what punk is injured and off TV, LOL.

The rating won't change much with Punk injured. So Punk marks will use that to say it isn't him. Fact is, the people who watch don't know he'll be missing.

Ok that's just blind hate and you know it. To compare Punk to Diesel in talent is just atrocious posting at its finest. You're really going to tell me that Diesel was ever in his entire career as good as Punk in the ring and on the mic? If you actually believe it then ur just being ridiculous .

As far as drawing as a whole, yes you are correct, without any strong supporting draws to help him Punk can't hold the show to a high rating overall with his two segments a night. What a huge anti-draw !

That other poster was bang on when he compared him to HBK. A similar type of talent for sure.

Diesel Man Punk

I would say I actually even prefer Kevin Nash over C.M. Punk if we're looking at their careers as a whole. The level of success that Nash achieved in WCW will never be approached by Punk. If anything, Nash is vastly underrated on-line as a talent, both in & out of the ring.

Nash was far more charismatic in his glory days than Punk ever was.
