It's 2013, shit's getting old.

Prove it. Show me that he is draw?


Oh wait 2.2 RATINGS!!!

You mean that one show on Christmas Eve? lol. Those silly families, choosing to spend their time with loved ones over pro wrasslin'~.

Just look at the rating breakdowns every week. It's rare that Punk loses viewers in his segments. He does well much more often than not. Of course, the overall numbers would be put solely on him because he's the champion, and ignore that it's a three hour show. Cena and co. don't exist, and the overall number will always lie on Punk. However, I'm willing to bet that logic gets thrown out of the window when discussing this week's decline. Shocking!

There seems to be a bit of a trend in the WWE at the moment, where the go home show before a ppv, fails to deliver a decent rating. Recent history shows though, that this doesn't seem to affect the buyrate.

OK.. OK you got me there it was Christmas and...



2.3 RATINGS THEN!!! OCTOBER 15TH! 2.3 2.3 2.3 No Christmas then?

I think as long as the casual fans who used to watch during the Attitude Era know that WWE is PG and centered around Cena, that they aren't going to be enticed to watch. I have plenty of friends who used to watch religiously during the Attitude Era who still won't watch now even with Rock being champ because they know that even though Rock is champ that the show is still based around Cena and based around a younger fanbase, and it doesn't interest them in the least. I think until WWE demonstrates they are going in a more mature direction for a good period of time, the ratings will stay in the range they've been in for quite a while now.

October 15th got a 2.81. Try again.

2.81 still isn't good, but is closer to the average Raw was getting between Brock leaving and Rock coming back than the dreaded 2.2 people keep blabbering on about, when there was no show that got a 2.2. Christmas Eve got a 2.3.

Edit: My mistake, Christmas Eve did get a 2.2, but my point still stands.

Okay smart ass. I will try again because it was a typo I meant the October 1st 2012 RAW.


2.3 RATING 2.3 RATING LOL! Nice drawing Phil.

Nope, that got a 2.54. Only two Raws got below a 2.4 last year, and they didn't happen in October.

Well these dirtsheets need to be fired for false info.

Still 2.5 ratings suck! Good thing Rocky saved us.

Oh yeah, thank Rocky for saving us from the dreadful occasional 2.5 rating and only giving us an occasional not-as-dreadful 3.0. THANK YOU GAWD... I MEAN RAWK!
