Old School RAW ratings breakdown

[Senhor Perfect]

As noted before, the March 4th old-school edition of WWE RAW did a 3.52 cable rating with 5.01 million viewers, the second best numbers of the year. RAW was the highest rated show on cable for the night, even beating out Pawn Stars.

In the segment breakdown, the first segment, after The Undertaker opened the show, with CM Punk and Paul Heyman, Randy Orton, Sheamus and Big Show opened strong with a 3.7 quarter rating. We don't have exact gains and losses this week but Ryback vs. Antonio Cesaro lost 427,000 viewers while Zack Ryder vs. Mark Henry gained 142,000. The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler and segment with Ric Flair stayed even.

The high-point of the show came with The Rock and John Cena having their point & counterpoint segment, which did a 4.1 quarter rating and gained 855,000 viewers in the 9pm timeslot. Jim Duggan with the WWE Legends vs. Jack Swagger lost 712,000 viewers. Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. Darren Young and Titus O'Neil plus Tensai and Brodus Clay vs. Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater lost 142,000 viewers. Fandango's entrance and interview lost 284,000 viewers.

Not surprised Zeb Coulter lost a few. I find the whole we the ppl sctick slightly strange tbh. Doesnt fit with everything else. Feels like WWE trying to be edgy but failing imo.

I think the edginess is rather cool but the concept is flawed. I don't understand how two characters spewing out what is genuinely wrong with America (illegal immigrant issues is a big problem there) and lack of jobs is going to get heat. If it can't even get heat how can they expect it to genuinely draw? If they're repeating the same old thing weekly as well that never helps.

I like that they came up with a character based on an edgy topic, but I don't think it was ever going to really succeed. It could just be too early to tell, but I'm not surprised.

I dunno for me it feels really awkward that may be due to the delivery or the fact it seems to bomb each week. I cant put my finger on it just seems strange.

Well, gotta love Henry drawing people as always, Rock/Cena segment drawing as expected, HHH too (although I suppose it was a good time slot) and then the next segment losing the exact same amount of viewers was interesting, good overrun as well I suppose.

Awesome ratings, great for WWE

I said it in the TNA thread but The Rock and Henry are leading the WWE in their ratings whilst D'Lo Brown draws TNA's highest numbers. The Nation is back and as dominant as ever.
