WWE Television Ratings

[Heisenberg]

That's a decent rating I guess but they should be getting at least over 3.5's since we're just three weeks away from Mania.. Can't wait to see the breakdown.

Moved in the right direction and the rating grew as the show went on which is positive. Breakdowns will be good to see as always to see if again HBK/Taker and Rock gain the most viewers.

3/12 RAW Breakdown: Rock Concert, HBK-Taker Segment, Punk Vs. Miz, More
- As noted before, Monday's WWE RAW Supershow from Cleveland did a 3.29 cable rating with 4.84 million viewers. RAW was the #1 show on cable for the night and unlike recent trends, it did better in the second hour - largely due to the segment with Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker.

Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler lost 6,000 viewers coming out of the opener with John Cena rapping. That's a good loss as usually the second RAW segment loses several hundred thousand viewers.

David Otunga & Mark Henry vs. Santino Marella gained 225,000 viewers - also a good number and a good sign for the Teddy Long vs. John Laurinaitis storyline.

Brodus Clay vs. Jinder Mahal lost 276,000 viewers while the segment with Michaels and Undertaker gained 869,000 viewers to a 3.73 quarter rating. This is the best quarter on RAW in several weeks. CM Punk vs. The Miz then lost 888,000 viewers - which is the biggest segment drop in a while.

Jack Swagger vs. Randy Orton gained 58,000 viewers. The final segment with The Rock singing gained 509,000 viewers, which is actually below average for an overrun. It did a 3.51 quarter rating. The final segment with The Rock went from a 3.1 to a 3.8 rating with Males 18-49, from a 2.3 to a 2.7 in Teen Males, from 1.3 to 1.4 in Women 18-49 and stayed at a 1.1 rating for Teen Females.

Holy crap, 888,000 viewers lost for CM Punk vs The Miz is very bad but the rest is good I guess. RAW did go up against the NCAA Tournament.

 

[PHX]

Everyone knew Miz was just gonna lose and wasn't gonna be much of a match basically so no surprise.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

If they blame Punk for that, they are stupid. Basically what PHX said.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Holy crap, 888,000 viewers lost for CM Punk vs The Miz is very bad but the rest is good I guess. RAW did go up against the NCAA Tournament.

Raw did not go up against the NCAA tournament that started Tuesday.

Raw did not go up against the NCAA tournament that started Tuesday.

Oh, my bad. I seen one or two people say that some NCAA was on. I'm not American so don't know much about that college stuff.

 

[Chris]

At least it grew from the first to the second hour, which has really become rare. The only segment that really lost a lot was the Punk/Miz match, and boy did they lose, but everything else did relatively well.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Now I do expect Smackdown to suffer from March Madness on Friday.

 

[Prodigy]

Otunga and Santino = Ratings? YES YES YES!

 

[Heisenberg]

Otunga and Santino = Ratings? YES YES YES!

Lol, more people were interested in that than The Miz vs CM Punk.

 

[Troy]

I want to know what the opening quarter rating was with John Cena's rap. They say that Ziggler vs. Sheamus lost only 6,000 viewers compared to hundreds of thousands so it may be that the opening segment rating was lower than normal. Not good that the WWE champion lost that many viewers, yes The Miz was there and people knew that he would lose but still fans should want to see the WWE champion win. Once again people just tuned in for HBK/Taker and then tuned out immediately and then switched back on at the end.

3/16 WWE Smackdown Rating: Number Drops From Last Week
This past Friday night's edition of WWE Smackdown finished with a 1.92 cable rating, which is down from the previous week's 2.12 rating.

The show averaged 2.84 million viewers compared to the 3.1 million viewers the show took in the week before.

Wow.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Serious drop, didn't think the show was that bad but NCAA tournament had a ton to do with that.

 

[Troy]

It keeps jumping between 1.95 and 2.1. Not a massive drop but still disappointing that the show couldn't get better ratings heading into WM. If WWE actually gave Smackdown equal footing to RAW with equal exposure and an even roster they would get much better ratings.
