Third hour lost viewers huh. I guess no one gives a damn about Jerry Lawler.

Same amount of viewers I consider than a good thing.

Punk critiques will blame Punk.

It was a decent RAW to be honest, so these numbers make sense.

Third hour lost viewers huh. I guess no one gives a damn about Jerry Lawler.

They announced the tag match, had HHH delivering his never-ending promo, there were several things announced that didn't draw. Surprise, surprise, you stick Smackdown's two overpushed superfaces in hour 3 and they won't draw.

Can't wait to see the quarter hours... although I'm sure if it's the ME's fault they lost viewers it's 100% on Lawler.

Not bad ratings for Monday Night Raw, but I take this as a sign raw needs to go back to two hours. Staying at three will eventually cause viewers to leave as the show gets longer, if they aren't interesed. If it's only two hours, they would definitely be more interested, because they wouldn't have to sit through three hours of anything but wrestling... I also agree with Rainman's point, announcing that tag match must have hurt the ratings, at least somewhat.
