WWE Television Ratings

[No More Sorrow]

Monday's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW scored a 3.2 cable rating, with 4,483,000 viewers. In what has become a regular trend, the show dropped in hour two. The first hour did a 3.33 (3.3) cable rating and hour two did a 3.07 (3.1) cable rating. .

As far as competition goes, most network programming was in repeats and the Monday Night Football game did a 10.73 rating.

Would love to see the breakdowns

Yet again it drops between hour one and hour two, WWE need to realise that they need to make a few changes to ensure that more fans are tuning in as the show goes on. Hopefully WWE do continue to push some of the newer stars and take a long term view in creating more top stars.

I am hoping that the Live Smackdown rating is higher than normal for a Smackdown so that WWE and SyFy think of doing them more often.

The 12/9 edition of Smackdown did a strong 2.24 rating with 3,238,000 viewers.

Good rating for Smackdown to get back above the 2.2 range. I still hope that leading into WM it can push closer to 3.0 because Smackdown deserves to get more viewers than it does.

The 12/13 Tribute To The Troops show on USA did a 1.92 rating, with 2,767,000 viewers. The show did hours of 1.9 and 1.94 and viewership rose 30,000 viewers from hour one to hour two.

Very good rating for a one off show. The TTTTs show will also be replayed on NBC in a couple of days so I wonder if they will get a similar rating for the replay since it is broadcast to a wider audience.

TTTT gained in viewers from the first hour to the second, something RAW can't do

 

[Prodigy]

Will have to try and catch TTTT at some point online seems like a good show.

Did anyone else hear that raw did a 2.74? Awful AWFUL rating for the A show their. I think people are getting tired of the bullshit we are subject too each week.

3 Hours generally drag the overall rating down

The 12/12 Slammy edition of Raw did a 2.84 rating for the three hour broadcast, averaging 4,109,000 viewers. In its regular 9 to 11 timeslot, Raw did a 2.98 rating and averaged 4,327,000. Stop me if you have heard this before but the 9 p.m. hour did 332,000 more viewers than the 10 p.m. hour.


Raw did hours of 2.55 at 8 p.m., 3.03 at 9 p.m. and 2.93 at 10 p.m.

The three hour show normally does drop the rating a bit but for the normal hours it was a 2.98 rating which is still a bit below standard. People keep tuning out as the show goes on yet WWE is doing nothing to chance the format which isn't working.

 

[Prodigy]

The whole point in a 3 hour show is to draw MORE viewers. They're supposed to be a spectacle in which WWE puts on a great event and picks up new fans. The last few 3 hour shows have been shit and done nothing to gain new fans. I really do feel the fact that they put them right before PPV's drags the rating down as well because people would rather wait for the PPV to view three hours.

 

[Dale]

But they never do simply because a massive bunch of people forget it starts an hour earlier, thus bringing the overall rating down.

The 12/16 edition of Smackdown did a 1.99 rating with with 2,881,000 viewers.

Standard rating for Smackdown. Can't wait to see the rating for this weeks Smackdown, and RAW's as well, since Bryan is now the World champion. Hopefully more fans tune in so that WWE see that fans want him as champion and see that he can draw.

RAW rating will be high due to the fact that it's the TLC aftermath also with CM Punk retaining, Zack Ryder winning the US Championship and Daniel Bryan winning the WHC.

SmackDown will also be high due to Bryan becoming champion and people are obviously going to want to see what he's like.

 

[Troy]

I really hope that there is a clear jump in the ratings. Everyone should get behind the new direction and the new look champions by tuning in for RAW and Smackdown this week.

I predict 3.5 for RAW and 2.3 for Smackdown.

I'm predicting around 3.4 to 3.5 for RAW and 2.4 for Smackdown.
