The Rock was a bigger draw than Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Attitude Era

[RLStern]

And what is the citation of this source? Because normally you attach a bullshit, opinion based video. But this is literally just some random numbers with no reference point.

This Hurri-Stern is blowing a lot of hot air at the moment.

WWF RAW IS WAR Nelson ratings(which actually lists them them as RAW & WARZONE, hence RAW IS WAR)... lol, I didn’t get the numbers from the videos, I actually gave more accurate data and numbers than the video and went beyond the video.

You can claim these numbers didn’t happen, just like you 9/11 conspiracist claim planes didn’t hit the World Trade Center, but no sane person will take that claim serious.

Rock beat Austin in ratings when they were both on the show in 1999, nothing will ever change that.

Suggest you print-screen - where you got these figures from.

No, since you’re having difficulty comprehending let me repeat:

PWI Almanac from 2000 which is copied to this website -http://indeedwrestling.blogspot.com/2014/05/raw-nitro-quarter-hours-1999.html?m=1

An actual website from the Attitude era that documented the numbers at the time -https://slashwrestling.com/raw/

Now if you want to argue that that Pro Wrestling Illustrated is lying about numbers that were publicly available at the time and that Slashwrestling wasn’t around during the Attitude era, please say so, so we may be able to identify you as a conspiracy theorist.

 

[CakeWalker]

Where do they show the individual draw ratings? CAN YOU READ FUCKING ENGLISH?

I'm not gonna jump back into the actual topic being discussed, but you often discredit sources around at the time that documented things in real time.

For the record, I don't disbelieve these numbers. If I was gonna argue against it, I would check the Torch and Newsletter first, but I assume it's legit.

 

[CakeWalker]

None of the links show head to head comparisons....awkward

 

[RLStern]

Where do they show the individual draw ratings? CAN YOU READ FUCKING ENGLISH?

Don’t get mad and snap at me because you can’t read rating.

Ratings are broken up into Quarters, there are 8 Quarters for Raw and 12 for Nitro when it was 3 hours. Then there’s Overruns, which enters the next shows timeslot and when the other show finishes(Raw or Nitro, usually Nitro since they didn’t go over time mostly)

Raw and Nitro only overlap from QH5-QH12 with OR,mwhen Nitro was 3 hours and QH5-QH8.

With that we see Rock outdrew Austin on the same nights when they were both on the shows.

They provided the numbers, data, Quarter hours, I took both Rock and Austin’s highest rating of the night and I listed them here to see who drew more:

So you took some data- and then reconstructed them to form your own argument. Sounds just like a load of nonsense to me. Come back with some real data Hurri-Stern - rather than some home made bullshit.

Good job on admitting that it is actual data., the first step is to admit,

Now, I didn’t reconstruct them, you can’t change it, those are the numbers. Those are who drew more those nights.

You don’t like what the data shows and that’s too bad.

Deal with it.

 

[CakeWalker]

You realise I prefer The Rock to Steve Austin right? But the date isn't substantial - also don't suggest I'm a dog in a meme. Considering you reported me for calling you a tool.

 

[Smart Marx]

I don’t think he realizes how insulting condescension is.

 

[Smart Marx]

I definitely prefer Stone Cold Steve Austin. The only difference is I don’t think it matter who outdrew who when their periods on top almost completely overlap.

Throw Hunter and Angle in 2000 and the main event scene between 1999-2001 is just the greatest ever.

 

[Smart Marx]

It’s actually hilarious how much their runs are entirely tied together and both were ridiculously cut short.

They both debuted in 1996 for the WWF and stopped being a full-time member of the active roster in 2002.
