It's a new year so we decided a new ratings thread would be suitable. Discuss all ratings related topics in here please. Let the shit storm begin...again.
Re: Official Raw Ratings Thread [Post All TV Ratings Discussions Here]
Not sure if mentioned before, but something to consider about ratings...maybe the stuff in Boston impacted ratings abit? Cause tv shows in general this past mondays seemed to do fairly lower than usual.

Also can't help but laugh at them putting Fandango at the 10 PM hour. Did they expect him to do well just because his theme song is getting minor attention? I'm glad this is bombing.
Anomaly. It was a once in a blue moon thing. Happens with Punk all the time. He is still a work in progress though. Hopefully this break will give him that extra boost of popularity when he gets back. I am not saying he is unpopular right now, I am just saying when he comes back he will hopefully be seen as a bigger star than he already is.
Not trying to start anything here but In my opinion. The only reason the punk segment drew as much as it did was because it was hyped for a week and and he was returning.. Just my opinion
Punk was losing viewers in his own segments when he was champion. Not his fault though. Like I said, he can only draw with guys who are bigger names. People like Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan are not going to help Punk gain any viewers. At least not right now. Hopefully some time in the future, because I am ready to see these guys get heavily featured within the next year or two.Despite the fact that I am a HUGE Cena fan, it does suck that he is the only full time guy who can draw no matter who he is feuding with.
So when people blamed Punk for low ratings during his title reign, they blamed him because he was also a HUGE part of that ratings decline. Honestly, Cena was the one who drew during Punk's reign of 434 days. Whether he was feuding with Brock Lesnar, Big Show, Johnny Ace, Ziggler, etc.. He was the one gaining, while everyone almost was losing viewers (Didn't happen like that all the time, but it happened quite a bit). That is why people gave Punk alot of shit during his reign. Cena's current reign just started and it is a small sample size, but he is drawing so far. That is why no one is blaming any ratings decline on Cena.

Bryan's average impact is +28, higher than any other mid-carder on the roster. Swagger's average impact is -129 () - this despite the fact that he basically walked into a world title feud.

Re: Official Raw Ratings Thread [Post All TV Ratings Discussions Here]
Main segments of the show that they promoted did well. Can't argue with that. So far the Cena/Ryback program has people interested and just like they did before with Punk, they hyped up that he has something important to say and it had people interested. Promotion = results.
Although 9pm and 10pm didn't do as well as usual, I actually like that they didn't put what you would normally expect them to put in there for a change. The show had a really different feel to it. It started with a match instead of a promo, we had Brock Lesnar appearing out of nowhere, a hyped Ryback promo that happened at a random time and then a Punk promo that happened at a random time too. Made for a less predictable show in terms of what was coming next and I like it. That's not to say it should happen all the time mind you, but giving Fandango a little bit of spotlight at 10pm and Ziggler at 9pm, even if they didn't set the world on fire, it still highlights them as something important and positions them that way for the audience which is what they need to be doing.
Overall though, dropping back down to barely just over 4 million so quickly isn't a good sign. They should be aiming to hover around the 4.5 million mark. That's a good place to be for non-hyped portions of the wrestling year.

They'll be OK heading into Extreme Rules with Brock and Triple H bringing up those numbers but depending on how long Punk is gone for, it will be interesting to see how Cena carries the show being the only big name around.
Re: Official Raw Ratings Thread [Post All TV Ratings Discussions Here]
AJ and Bryan definitely were getting big numbers in the main event spot..an AJ segment did almost 800k. She was the changing factor while Punk was in that same position weeks before and was getting some of the worst overruns since 1997.
-- Monday's WWE Raw dipped 15 percent in social media activity for a taped show from London.
Raw scored 220,567, according to Trendrr.TV, which was the second-lowest score of the year, only topping the January 21 show.
Raw also fell out of the #1 or #2 spot on cable TV for the first time since Jan. 21. Raw ranked #3 behind "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" and the Bulls-Nets NBA Playoffs game.
Re: Official Raw Ratings Thread [Post All TV Ratings Discussions Here]
It was definitely either the 6 man tag match or the opening segment that did the high point. Can't really see any other point in the show doing very well.
Re: Official Raw Ratings Thread [Post All TV Ratings Discussions Here]
Love and Hip Hop Atlanta was the night's top-rated original with a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating, up from last week's 1.4. WWE Raw came in second Monday night with a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating during its most-watched hour, up from last week's 1.6
LOVE & HIP HOP ATLANTA: 1.7 WWE Entertainment 9:00 PM: 1.7
WWE Entertainment 10:00 PM: 1.6
Teen Mom II SSN 4: 1.6
NBA PLAYOFFS: 1.5
T.I. AND TINY 3: 1.4 WWE Entertainment 8:00 PM: 1.4
Re: Official Raw Ratings Thread [Post All TV Ratings Discussions Here]
For the second week running they didn't schedule all their big shit at the usual slots and I liked it. It really helps make the show a little unpredictable since we're not all waiting for 9pm and 10pm for something to happen. I think it's good that they're starting to switch things up a bit tbh. The Taker/Shield match should do the best of the night which is great. The more people who get to see the Shield the better. The opening hour was low but that was the case last week as well iirc. At least they were able to draw more people in as the show progressed. An overall of 4.4 million is spot on. If they can maintain that over the next couple of months then they'll be on the right track heading into the summer.
