Ratings aren't the only thing that matters. His feud with Cena was entertaining and then creative, not Lesnar, ruined his luster by making him lose to Cena.

He added in the RAWs very close to SummerSlam and Extreme rules, as well as drastically improving the buy rates for both PPVs, he will have a big influence leading into Mania. Besides, he adds a lot of entertainment value, which is what I think roadkill. was talking about more so than ratings.

Lesnar pulled 3.5's on the B-Show. Punk pulls 2.2's on the A-Show.

Fail.

Hour 3 did the poorest.

Either Ziggler V Cena or Rock concert did a disappointing number.

My guess is that the 125,567,748th Cena v Ziggler was responsible.

Or was that awful Miz + Flair segment responsible?

Lesnar doesn't give a shit - he's only there for the money anyway, not to add anything entertaining to the show. If his stomach wasn't all fucked up, he'd still be in the UFC ,and wouldn't have given a WWE return a second thought.

Don't know if posted:

Hour 1- 4.50 million
Hour 2- 4.68 million
Hour 3- 4.47 million

Average: 4.55 million

If I'm not mistaken, Punk's match and promo was in hour 2. Therefore, Punk>everyone. The end.

Rock Concert was a full overrun segment. But really watching 3 hours of RAW last night was unbearable, I felt like I'm watching two weeks of shows just to get to a 15 minutes Rock segment. Cena/Ziggler in their best of 560 series probably didn't help. Overall rating should be up, though.

I think its sad that they have to lie to us and promise "legends returning" and big things for a 20th anniversary show just to pop a bigger rating. Nobody returned who hadn't been seen in WWE in the last month and nothing special happened.

I dont see any point in trying to break down the ratings by hour though, here's a fact: people are getting wrestling fatigue from these 3 hour RAWs and want to stop watching after 2 hours, thats why the 3rd hour often has a lower rating even though it has the main event.

Ziggler's gonna need more than a best of 560 series right now to have a chance of winning it.
