RAW Ratings not as low as we think?

[Soulpower]

For those who have emailed (and there sure have been a lot of you since I got home from being out today), yes, Vince McMahon's appearance on Raw this Monday and the announcement of it is definitely being done in an effort to boost the ratings after the disastrous numbers that they possibly delivered this week came to light. The creative team is feeling the heat for the ratings freefall up in Titan Towers but, to his credit, sources have told me that Vince realizes many of his people have been writing to "please him" and now that the numbers have dropped to alarming levels, he is finally said to be ready to listen to ideas that don't conform to his cookie cutter way of presenting WWE. We can only hope that leads to much-needed change in the programs.

With that said, I should also tell you that I have heard from two sources that Nielsen has contacted a number of programmers and said that there was a problem (glitch) in Monday's ratings, as I suspected may be the case. I am not sure what the extent of it is, but as I said yesterday, I wouldn't be shocked to find out that there was a problem since the drop was so huge. I have heard that Nielsen has contacted WWE about it but with the three straight weeks of 3.4s for Raw prior to this week, WWE does realize that there is a real problem with the make up of their shows and are working on doing what they can to fix them, regardless of whether there was a big drop on Monday or not.

Should have noticed something was up. it was too big of a drop in just a one week span... And Vince listening to ideas.

We might see a different WWE from now on, but I doubt it.

i feel a WWE come back coming on

Thats what we've been saying for a long while now, but has anything happened to make you believe that?

 

[Beer Money Army]

lol if Vince is really going listen to other people Besides his family....

seriously he's coming back next week and probabaly thinks the ratings are low because he isn't on the show

Damn, Vince is going to do something big and im looking at it right now, he is coming to Raw, let's see what happens.

 

[PeepShow]

It sure has gotten people to talk about it a lot. Im sure everyone will be tuning in this week, and the ratings will go right back up...

 

[monkeystyle]

The glitch is in fact real. However its not what you might want to think. The glitch is for the female 55-64 demographic that ups the rating by about .6 so in the end this really has no bearing on the WWE though the syndicated re runs of Golden Girls may be doing a bit better than they should be.

 

[Bring Me To Life]

Meh I thought so. Anyway If you feel a new WWE coming on I wish but I am 90% sure that there wont be one imo

 

[humankiller99]

he should listen to the fans and get the belt off cena and turn him heel again. then bring back HHH

 

[wwe_fanatic]

Yeh. He should employ someone to read forums and sites to see what the fans actually want. I'm up for the job! lol

We'll have to wait and see what Vince chooses. Face or heel?

 

[humankiller99]

well we all know he loves cena.. so who knows
