:lmao I'm glad it lost viewers. Haven't been liking the booking of this feud since day one.

 

[Zee Jay]

Pretty much this ^

Good to see Miz is a draw. I loved the CM Punk and Orton segment.

 

[Dice Darwin]

So I'm not the only one who changes the channel when Taker or HHH's music hits. And the video packages suck, BTW.

 

[sesshomaru]

Miz isn't a draw...people just tuned in for the ME.


Give him another couple years to establish himself.

 

[Chicago Warrior]

Miz/John Cena segment draws almost a Million viewers, not bad. I wonder if people still thought Rock would show up randomly at any time during the Miz/John Cena segments for the past weeks. I know rating will be big this week because Rock will appear live and not via sattelite.

 

[OnTheMoney]

Final segments should draw naturally.

This is pretty much what I expected for this week.

Shitty segments/feuds get shitty results.

 

[Natsuke]

I'd certainly love to hear what people think now that The Miz actually drew in almost a million viewers. That's an insane spike.

 

[Nexus One]

Good for the Miz but it's gonna be a party next week when ONE MAN turns a 3.3 into....well..let's just say something different.

 

[Lastier]

Michael Cole = Ratings

 

[DesolationRow]

Holy Shoots and Ladders, Batman, Undertaker/Triple H video packages are the worst thing for the quarter hour numbers this side of a Chaperone ad.

Coupled to the fact that the John Cena interview lost 137,000 viewers but the Cole/Swagger/Lawler segment gained 467,000 back, and this Road to Wrestlemania really has entered The Twilight Zone.

 

[It's True]

Sheamus certainly not good for the ratings

 

[CC91]

Michael Cole draws more than Triple H & The Undertaker

 

[Vin Ghostal]

Daniel Bryan and Sheamus lose viewers, but Eve Torres, Maryse, Kozlov and Santino gain viewers. F*ck this company AND their audience.

 

[Heckrashi]

Just curious though, when you guys change channels how do you know when a certain segment has ended? I just leave the TV on and go to do my stuff until I hear the segment ending

 

[Forever Red]

The rise and dropping of rating probably has a lot to do with what is currently showing/not showing on other channels.

Like during ad breaks on other channels people will turn over to RAW etc.

 

[Sheik]

I guess nobody cares to see a jacked up ginger albino.

 

[CharlieSheen]

Michael Cole = Ratings

That's vintage Cole, doing what he does

 

[BreakTheWallsDown2]

The only reason Sheamus/Bryan lost viewers is because people were hoping that the Cena feud would open the show, and MAYBE the rock would open the show. Once they saw they were getting to the matches a small % of people just tuned out. A lot of people only watch the main event and opener.

where in the blue hell was Mark Henry???
