WWE Raw rating: Did the Ryback or John Cena choice lead to a strong rating?

[Lacky]

Monday's WWE Raw drew a 2.79 rating, up a tick from the 2.78 rating the show drew last week.

The first hour of Raw drew 4.067 million viewers. Hour two produced 4.013 million viewers. The final hour crashed to 3.886 million viewers. The big big comeback in the Monday NIght Football game probably played some part in the third hour collapse. Well, that and three hours is too long for a weekly pro wrestling show.

Wow, way better than I expected. But next week they have the presidential debate and a big sports game iirc, will be interesting to see what they do to compete.

Didn't Punk say on Twitter he was going to wrestle a live lion?

I wonder if they miss their 3.0 ratings. 1:

And no Vince probably. I don't see a reason for him being there except to draw viewers/ratings.

Not sure, I think Punk teased something for next week. I like Vince being around personally. 3 hours has fucked RAW over though like ALL OF US said it would.

 

[Big Hoss Rambler]

Yah I like him being there too but they can't have Vince coming every week. We'll just start to get tired of him too.

Let's be serious Hoss, you want to see 8 Bra & Panties matches... :gusta:

Will never tire of heel Vince, but face Vince yeah. But face Vince > AJ.

John Cena wasn't mad when Mr. McMahon said, "Ryback!" He was busy saying, "FEED ME MORE!"

Cena elected Ryback to take Punk, it wasn't Vince's choice.

Absolutely. And didn't we all wonder how screwed WWE would be with Cena injured? Punk's heel, Orton still think he is, so Ryback's being rushed since nobody's even close... lets see how the buyrate does. (And no, Vince, Sheamus is NOT a star)

We've been saying this for years and you wouldn't listen, you brought it upon yourselves. Smarks > you.
