NCCA tournament will own ratings. Look for the Raw after Mania to have awful ratings thanks to it.
So it wasn't just Rock that was getting 'below average' overruns as Taker/HHH/HBK just drew pretty much the same. Extremely baffling, what the fuck do people actually want to see!?- As noted before, the March 20th WWE RAW Supershow did a 3.10 cable rating with 4.38 million viewers.
In the segment breakdown, Kane vs. Big Show lost 125,000 viewers from the opener which is less than usual for the second slot. Santino Marella vs. David Otunga and the interview with The Rock outside in Philadelphia gained 205,000 viewers. Daniel Bryan vs. Zack Ryder lost 418,000 viewers.
Mark Henry vs. John Cena with The Rock coming out gained 327,000 viewers for a 3.20 quarter rating at the top of the hour, which is a weak gain for that timeslot. The Miz vs. Sheamus lost 279,000 viewers while the Randy Orton interview and Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs. Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler lost 151,000 viewers.
The final segment with Shawn Michaels, Triple H and The Undertaker gained 597,000 viewers, which is below average, but the 3.32 overrun rating was still the highest rated point of the show. The final segment saw the Male Teens rating go from 2.2 to 2.5, Males 18-49 go from 2.5 to 3.2, Female Teens drop from 0.6 to 0.5 and the rating with Women 18-49 go from 1.1 to 1.2.
3/23 WWE SD! Rating: Number Drops From Previous Week
This past Friday night's edition of WWE Smackdown finished with a 1.8 cable rating, which is down from the previous week's 1.92 draw.
The show averaged 2.76 million viewers, compared to the 2.84 million viewers the show took in the previous week.
0.4 ratings drop isn't that bad. Especially when you consider it's the #1 show on cable on Fridays
Mind boggling ratings, truly mind boggling.The "go home" episode of Raw before WrestleMania got a 3.04 rating, with 4,443,000 viewers. The show had hour ratings of 2.96 and 3.12, with 10,000 more viewers in the second hour than the first hour.
This rating is actually down from last week's 3.10, which has to be viewed as a disappointment.
