USA Network not happy with RAW ratings

[chessarmy]

- The USA Network is not too happy with the RAW ratings as of late. USA exec Bonnie Hammer has a number of other projects going on and has been trying to get WWE to step it up as she expects numbers to be better than they have been. Obviously there is some heat on the WWE creative team to get the ratings back up.

- The general feeling within WWE is that they're looking to a big storyline on the RAW brand with Shane and Stephanie McMahon, possibly against each other, that will eventually see the TV return of Vince McMahon in time for WrestleMania 25.

Thoughts?

As proven before in time of rating crisis, the return of Vince Mcmahon leads to an increase of ratings.

Then again, so did the reign of CM Punk.

What do you prefer? Yeah, I thought so.

i prefer the return of vince mcmahon.

I'd rather see that too.

In that case, I just hope not to see another "This storyline sucks" thread once he returns

 

[WCW Rules]

The McMahons are ratings boosters, in partcular, Vince. The WWE is heading towards WM's 25th Anniversary, they need a hook to garner some much needed attention and ratings.

Then again, if they link Vince's return with SCSA's return, I'll mark.

 

[gashface]

I'll mark and I only watch WWE when I get bored.

Id be pretty stupid if USA ends up letting RAW go.I don't know whether its their top show or not but it still draws in a good amount of ratings.CW let Smackdown! go when it was their top show and now im pretty sure they are not doing to good.

USA Network not happy with RAW ratings

My Question: Who Would Be?!

My Answer: TNA.

 

[Moonlight Drive]

The WWE always picks up around this time. All the big storylines and feuds for Wrestlemania begin and are hinted around Survivor Series, and from now until Mania is and always has been my favourite time in the WWE calendar.

Wrestlemania 25, Vince w/Steph vs Shane Round 2 would be pwnage.

 

[C4]

Vince McMahon is the secret ingredient to the ratings recipe, Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon add to the flavour and the Superstars serve as desert. :

WrestleMania is Thanksgiving

 

[Kizza]

Lol, USA Network sums up how everyone feels about RAW.

Total, mind numbingly boring crap.

Shane Mcmahon is the key to the success in the RAW ratings imo, have him and steph battle it out to be GM of the show then Vince return or something. Or just have Shane do the pony dance for an hour on RAW and I bet it would make more ratings then Impact :shifty:

Bring Vince back around Royal Rumble time, that way when he does comeback it would have been a very long awaited return and we can see him march to the ring! Something like that would be good, the ratings really have been shit...
