Except the 2.48 terrible rating that week was due to heavy competition, they were up against Presidential debate which drew 20 million viewers, Bears vs. Lions did 11+ million and Giants/Cardinal MLB playoff drew over 8 million. The next week increase was going to happen regardless of any top star/angle.

RAW rating following Survivor Series PPV dropped despite being the night after PPV where Punk retained the title. That alone proves my point.

- As noted before, the December 17th WWE RAW with The Slammys scored a 2.87 rating with 4.22 million viewers. The 2011 Slammy Awards did almost identical numbers with a 2.84 rating and 4.11 million viewers. In 2011, those numbers were considered really bad but this year they're considered really good.

In the segment breakdown, Kaitlyn vs. Eve Torres plus the return of The New Age Outlaws for a Slammy presentation gained 130,000 viewers from the opener. Kofi Kingston vs. Tensai and the Best Kiss Slammy lost 28,000 viewers. David Otunga vs. The Great Khali lost 328,000 more viewers. The Ric Flair segment with John Cena, CM Punk and Paul Heyman gained 605,000 viewers for a 3.20 quarter rating at 9pm.

The end of the brawl with Flair, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Ryback and The Shield plus JTG vs. Brodus Clay lost 588,000 viewers. The LOL Moment Slammy plus Sin Cara vs. Cody Rhodes gained 147,000 viewers. The hashtag Slammy and the segment with Big Show, Sheamus and Ziggler trying to cash in gained 122,000 viewers. Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal vs. Tommy Dreamer, Alberto Del Rio and The Miz lost 502,000 viewers for a show-low 2.64 quarter rating. Plus this was the 10pm quarter that almost always gains.

Antonio Cesaro vs. Ryback plus the Match of the Year Slammy with Triple H gained 113,000 viewers, a number that has to be considered a disappointment. John Cena and Vickie Guerrero vs. AJ Lee and Dolph Ziggler gained 510,000 viewers for a 3.00 overrun rating.

Even still, the 2.95 was way above the 2.7ish average they were getting. So once again... no.

Obviously what has happened here is that the dirtsheets have combined Q9 and Q10 to get a 'show low quarter'. Muppets...

"The dirsheets" so they all got together and did it?

You seem to have no idea how or where they are compiled. These are AC Nielsen's numbers which Meltzer reports in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. They are not invented at weekly Dirtsheets Lunch or something.
