Last time I checked, The Rock and Cena weren't "Paul Heyman Guys".

- With RAW going from two hours to three, matches now get 33% more time and there are 33% more matches per show. The amount of wrestling per show has doubled to 78%. Those benefiting with more TV time include Heath Slater, Alberto Del Rio, Primo, Epico, Sheamus, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, John Cena, The Miz, Big Show and Dolph Ziggler. Those who have received less TV time with the switch are Tensai, Zack Ryder, David Otunga, The Great Khali and Santino Marella.

Yeah, pity those matches mean absolutely fuck all and it's fine for some guys getting more TV time but it means absolutely nothing unless you put them into some intriguing storyline, which the WWE can't do with ANYBODY outside of the main event.

I was just about to post the same thing until I scrolled down and saw you took the words right off my keyboard. Damn straight, man. Kudos.

CM Punk can't draw, huh?

BORK bringing in that 18-49 demo too.

[Gamblor]

Punk drawing in and keeping them viewers on his own in the opening segment, and then doing a great gain in an odd quarter with Jericho is all great for Punk. Of course some will try to put it on The Rock and people expecting him to be there, but then if the segment bombs/doesn't do that well, that's not the case anymore and it's all Punk. What Rock has done is gotten people on a week-to-week basis to notice Punk and maybe turn Punk into a proven draw. One segment on his own doing extremely well doesn't prove anything however, and we'll have to wait and see how his segments do after Mania, as Starbuck pointed out, though if he's out of the title picture and isn't feuding with Taker, we can use his numbers at that point to gauge how big of a draw he is.

Cena disappoints in the overrun for the second time this year to make it two for two. Now in all fairness, the overrun has been hit or miss. Punk/Rock the first Raw of the year did well, Rock concert and the brawl afterwards with Punk the next week didn't do well. Cena's promo before the Rumble with the brawl did terribly considering the hype, Heyman/Vince with Lesnar returning did amazingly well. So who knows. Then again, that applies to the 9PM and 10PM segments as well.

But anyway, MizTV gaining is great and doing top of the show isn't surprising with the Lesnar appearance incoming, plus Heyman seems to be a bit of a draw himself. Great number for that.

It took a while but good to see that more casuals are starting to see the talent that is CM Punk. He may not be a proven draw as of right now, but if he keeps this up he might be soon.

Oh and them Paul Heyman guys bringing in them highest RATINGZ.

[The Lady Killer]

BROCK with the highest segment. Throwing chairs @ dipshits = ratings.

[the fox]

wasn't the miz tv with Paul Heyman advertised to start the show?
also why CM Draw is only drawing now?
so who was the one getting 2.5 most of his title Reign?

[The Dazzler]

^ They were probably waiting for Rock to interrupt his promo. Even so, Rock/Punk is obviously drawing. So is Brock. How do they fuck that up? Enter Triple H and Cena.
