Oh god I can't wait for the break downs lmfao.

This is great news. We're in for a good summer.

Adding spoiler tags for @[Crayo]. You have been warned.

Spoiler

In the segment breakdown, the opener with Paul Heyman and Triple H started strong with a 3.32 quarter rating. CM Punk and Santino Marella vs. Cody Rhodes and Daniel Bryan plus the Beth Phoenix vs. Alicia Fox match lost 601,000 viewers. John Cena’s Make-A-Wish segment lost 370,000 viewers and did the lowest rated quarter in months with a 2.64 rating.

All segment times. Ace was in the two best segments of the night, believe me, although we love him, he's no draw.

The highestts rateed wrestling h shows are usualy the worst oness.

Bullshit. When WWE was racking in 5.0-7.0 ratings in the past, they were the best thing around.

Dolph is right in this thread. We care because if the rating is high, the product won't change that much and as fans we can either like or dislike that. If it goes down, or has a really bad period, something normally happens.

I'm with Dolph's and Crayo. When ratings go down the show tends to get better.

 

[Stopspot]

I will put myself in Dolph's, Crayos and R'albins corner. Once the ratings get low enough they will have to improve the product.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

lol, I had a feeling the Big Show getting fired segment would be a draw in the breakdown.

 

[Crayo]

Amazing sig Dolph.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Thanks. Something happened to the pic I had, it was removed on the host site or something. The look on Frank's face coming in for a handshake and Nick coming in with the bird is hilarious

 

[Crayo]

He deserved it, he tried trash talking Nick and failed. I mean, no offence to Nick, but it can't be hard to out-trash talk him lmao. For once I mark for a guy with zero mic skills lolol.

But yeah Nick's replies were classic. But that picture is just perfect. #TakenOverAnotherThreadFFS

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

No mic skills?!?!? Here's a classic promo that disagrees

I wasn't comparing wrestling periods (DUH!), I was talking about patterns inside of certain periods.

This theory is hit or miss. Sometimes good shows get bad ratings, sometimes bad shows get good ratings, but just as often as that happens a good show will get good ratings, or a bad show will get bad ratings. This is a perfect example of a shit show getting a shit rating.

The same thing happens with segments sometimes. We all agree the Big Show segment was pathetic, but it brought in over a million viewers. The flip side of that is Paul Heyman (in his return- a very good segment) also brought in a lot of viewers.
