RAW Rating is...

[Jonathan]

Viewership for the July 30 episode of Raw dropped significantly from last week's 1,000th episode as the program averaged a 3.08 cable rating compared to 3.84. The overall rating was down 20 percent from the milestone show and is the lowest mark since June 4.

Raw averaged 4,490,000 viewers over the course of three hours and 4,710,000 from 9:00 p.m. to past 11:00 p.m. Overall viewership was down 22 percent from last week's 6,019,000 figure and is the smallest audience since June 4.

Raw drew a 2.79 rating with 4,060,000 viewers in hour one, a 3.21 cable rating with 4,720,000 viewers in hour two, and a 3.25 rating with 4,700,000 viewers in the final hour.

Glad the last hour increased. good signs for Punk.

 

[seabs]

Good, bad, average or other? I don't really follow ratings.

 

[Crayo]

Bad compared to the recent ratings but normal when compared to the average rating.

 

[Big Hoss Rambler]

That's what they get for putting 3 hour. Could've received around 3.2 with 4.71m viewers.

Getting very close to go back to the 2's.

It's really not good Seabs.
Only 3.08 average per hour :/

 

[Leo C]

Seems average for a three hour show.

- As noted before, the July 30th WWE RAW did a 3.09 cable rating with 4.50 million viewers. The three hours came in at 2.79, 3.21 and 3.25. This shows that even with the big numbers from RAW 1000, WWE still had trouble getting the entire audience tuned in at 8pm.

In the segment breakdown, Alberto Del Rio vs. Santino Marella lost 261,000 viewers from the opener, which is not a good drop for hour one. The angle with Damien Sandow and Brodus Clay with Vickie Guerrero dancing gained 214,000 viewers. Daniel Bryan and AJ backstage plus the recap of Stephanie McMahon attacking Paul Heyman from RAW 1000 lost 18,000 viewers.

Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan in a Street Fight at 9pm gained 521,000 viewers. Segments with R-Truth, Kofi Kingston, Daniel Bryan and AJ gained 274,000 viewers, which is a good gain for that timeslot. Kofi vs. Titus O'Neil lost 223,000 viewers while Randy Orton's return vs. Heath Slater gained 40,000 viewers.

Chris Jericho and Christian vs. The Miz and Dolph Ziggler gained 51,000 viewers for a 3.24 quarter rating - a very weak gain for the 10pm timeslot. Tyson Kidd vs. Tensai lost 34,000 viewers while the third recap of the Triple H and Brock Lesnar RAW 1000 segment lost 246,000 more viewers. John Cena vs. Big Show in the main event with CM Punk on commentary gained 1,181,000 viewers for a 3.86 overrun. This was the best gaining RAW segment in a while.

Indeed. Massive gain there. Well, from a kayfabe standpoint it makes sense I guess.

Who cares about the ratings, as long as you enjoy the show it shouldn't matter.

shiee

I agree HOWEVER the ratings are important because if they go down then they will improve the show.

If they continue the RAW they are going like last week, they may just increase in ratings. It might be to much though for some casual fans to watch 3 hours each week, most likely they'll just watch who they want, then turn stop watching for that night.

That tends to happen during each episode. when you see the ratings breakdown ratings will go up and down significantly during different segments. People watch who they want to then fuck off

All i hope is that the ratings reflect the quality of the show
