The Raw ratings have been dismal at best for the last couple weeks, and with Monday Night Football starting up tonight, do you believe the worst is yet too come for the WWE? If so, how much of a drop do you expect, a huge, medium, or small drop?

Meh it's always peaks and valleys. Not too concerned. I expect a dip then a lag then an increase then a boom then a dip then a lag ect.

High 2 tonight. They'll even back out to a 3.2 or so in a few weeks.

I really don't expect good numbers (3.4+) until Bragging Rights at the earliest. WWE is heading into their down time right now. September to October tends to be "meh", then you get the build to Survivor Series.

The same amount of people are watching as there was during the Attitude era.

Stat of the day for you.

Not if you combine RAW and Nitro.

Yeah I don't doubt that too much.

I'd really like to see a ratings breakdown of the Attitude Era vs now with actual number of homes instead of the percentage.

Not if you combine WCW and WWE you dipshit.

Before WCW got big ratings didn't matter to the WWE and I don't think ratings matter anymore to the WWE now and that's partially the reason why they're so comfortable putting on some of the shit that they put on Raw.

You tend to run faster if you're chasing someone or someone is chasing you and since TNA has proven itself to be a retard in a wheel chair instead of Usain Bolt, I don't think that's going to change for awhile.

Well, this isn't entirely true. If they don't keep bringing in consistent 3's USA could get unhappy. And more ratings bring in better advertising.

They're fine now, but they really can't drop much before they're in trouble and need to seriously reevaluate. But it would have to be bringing down the average rating to like 2.7 or something.

Is that pic in your command center, and did you also take the picture yourself?

Xero

Yes to both. It is my command center where my many monitors are the only light that touches my skin 99% of the time. Going outside is hellish for me.

That is very apparent in your picture, yes.

WWE's shows (other then RAW last week) have been poop water for the last month or so. NXT was a travesty at best. Smackdown seems like a second rate show now. It doesn't seem to have the BIG tv show feel as it did before the draft. With the NFL possibly going on strike next year I think Monday's are going to drop down into the 2's for sure. Tonight is a double header game for MNF,which sucks for Vince. i'm betting on a lot of brand hopping during the Bragging rights ppv build so they can get those numbers up.

I dunno what Smackdown you were watching but they've been good to watch IMO.

Juan Del Rio is on fiyah right now. The Drew Mac v Kaval match was great as well.

Which attitude era are we talking about? I remember WCW being down in the 3's when everyone was convinced that it sucked big time. Now unless the system has changed, the same amount of people are watching Raw as there were watching WCW at its worst. That isn't good no matter how you slice it. And you know something else, I've been saying this for literally YEARS!!!! and no one here gave a crap about my warnings of the ratings and general interest slump. Well here we are....hate to say I told you so. It might be fine for you guys, but I'm not comfortable with a product that only a fraction of people follow than years past.

That isn't good no matter how you slice it.Those were the diehard wrestling fans watching, like most that watch now. They have lost a ton of casual viewers, especially to UFC.
