RAW Ratings for August 13th (Lowest Rating Of New 3-Hour Era)

[Big Hoss Rambler]

The ratings are in for Monday’s 3-hour WWE RAW and it’s not good news for WWE. Monday’s RAW drew a 2.84 rating for the 3-hours and a 2.93 for the final two hours, RAW’s old timeslot. 2.84 is the lowest rating RAW has done since expanding to 3-hours on a weekly basis last month.

The show averaged 4,134,000 viewers, also a new low for the 3-hour era. The first hour dipped below 4 million viewers (for the first time since RAW 1,000), with 3,795,000 viewers. Hour two had 4,252,000 viewers while hour three did 4,354,000.

Terrible ratings. :haha:

People were so impressed with the 3.8 rating a few weeks ago and the ratings drop happened even faster than I thought it would. As predicted, WWE Raw hasn't changed in quality, just has another hour attached to it that they have to fill every week.

What now? Bring back Vince to up the ratings again?

Bob Backlund is available, but yeah. This was predictable. I was pretty sure Raw 1000 was going to get a good rating and then (because of the three hours) the ratings were going to drop, everyone said this, I think. Seems like it's hard to go through three hours for most people.

 

[Asskicker]

Hey, it was a very boring show and the dragging concept of the 3-hour RAW came into play.

In the segment-by-segment, the promotion online and through social media that they were opening with C.M. Punk vs. Big
Show led to a 2.60 quarter, the lowest quarter for a Raw episode in months.

Breakdown:

The August 13th WWE RAW did a 2.85 cable rating with 4.14 million viewers – not good numbers for the SummerSlam go-home RAW.

John Cena and CM Punk vs. Big Show and Daniel Bryan gained 247,000 viewers for a 2.94 quarter rating at 10pm – not a good increase for that timeslot, even with Cena featured.

[Matt]

It seems as if those reports of people backstage thinking the 3 hours wont last too long are probably correct

 

[Leo C]

Nothing that surprising in the breakdown, I think.

 

[Lacky]

The Diva's match gained Viewers? :dafuq:

Fappers will be fappers.

 

[Lacky]

Fappers will be fappers.

Haha, Why would anyone fap to WWE?

 

[Leo C]

Only possible explanation for people to watch a Divas match, also seems like WWE's only purpose by making the Divas division what it is instead of actual Female Wrestlers.

Haha, I suppose you're correct in a way. :dawg:

Good to see the ratings drop. If the ratings drop, then something will need to change. Vince will need to get off his vanilla midget ass and make a huge change since the ratings are hitting Rey Rey short.
