Why wasn't he getting these numbers before The Rock came back though?

After The Great One's done with his 97 lbs ass, he'll go back to getting 2.8's, 2.7's, 2.2's with Kane etc.

Whoops. Guess Khali and Hornswoggle draw the biggest SD rating in a long time.

These posts pointing out how the WWE Ratings are down as compared to the Additude ERA are so wrong.

Ratings everywhere are down because there are more TV options. Ten years ago you had 60 to 100 channels, twenty years you had 20 to 30 channels, and 40 years ago you had 4 or 5 channels. Now you have 100 to 300 channels.

The less options mean more people watch the same programming. The more options more people watch different things.

The WWE continues to dominate the Cable Ratings and they share the top spot with Walking Dead and Pawn Stars.

Just two weeks ago the WWE was once again the top program on Cable

Also TV's are in every room in the house which brings down the share the WWE receives.

Just look at the TV ratings (below) for the SuperBowl they've declined for the most part since 1982. The WWE Ratings will continue to plummet as more channels are added and people like myself use TIVO or HULU to watch programming.

"WWE Raw topped cable viewership for the week with 5.267 million viewers. Jessie was the top live action scripted program with 3.838 million viewers."

WRESTLING IS REAL?

He weighs 218.

Viewership is the key statistic. The last 3 Super Bowls have had over 100 million viewers, while 2008-09 SBs were close to 100 mil too

RAW on December 12, 2000 reached 7.2 million viewers compared to 3.76 million for the 12/10/12 edition of RAW. I don't know what the point in this thread was because it is basic knowledge wrestling's popularity has been down since the Attitude Era.

Viewership is not the key statistic.

First how come your comparing the last 3 superbowls (2013, 2012, and 2011) to 2008 & 2009 and you're comparing a 2000 Raw vs. 2012 Raw. The 2000 raw numbers was during the Monday Night Wars.

You do realize RAW's position as the number show on Cable still stands (although Pawn Stars & Walking Dead are coming on strong).

What was RAW's Cable RANKING on December 12, 2000? I'm guessing it was #1 program on cable that week.

What was RAW's cable RANKING on the December 10, 2012 edition of RAW?

It was the number 1 rated show on cable TV

The first line in your first post claims that it is wrong to say ratings (popularity indicator) are down compared to the AE. You also mentioned how the Super Bowl ratings are down. I just showed you that ratings are only half the story considering WWE's popularity is half of what it used to be and NFL's popularity is still surging to record highs despite the "decline in ratings since 1982." (2009 SB had nearly 12 million more viewers than the 1982 edition)

This.

It's all about number of viewers and it is drastically down.
