05/25/2005 - Raw drew a season-high 4.3 rating last week and it should be interesting to note that the Viscera/Lilian segment with Viscera singing Barry White achieved a massive 4.8 quarter-hour rating. Other high-rated segments include the Edge vs. Kane main event, which achieved a 4.7 rating. Randy Orton's surprise return garnered a 4.6 rating and the Ric Flair vs. Christian match landed a 4.4 rating.

So as it turns out, Viscera and Lilian got the highest quarter hour rating for the highest-rated Raw this year what with their 4.8 rating and thus beating out the main event in overall viewership for the night.

Yep. Wrestling is doomed when Viscera is drawing higher ratings than anyone else.

1: Notice that HHH isn't in any of these big ratings segments.

2: There aren't any big sports finals wrapping up, and probably the biggest Monday night ratings getter, 24, didn't end its season until this week. I'd be suprised to find out where all of these viewers are coming from.

3: With all of these season finales running through the past couple weeks, do you think HHH's strategy was to pull a Hogan and leave when the ratings were expected to go down? If that was the case, he was obviously mistaken I think.

4: I'm suprised Jericho isn't in any of those big ratings segments either. I think it's because they haven't really done anything with his character until just last week.

Vince: Wow! The biggest ratings of the year! It must be because everyone was tuning in to see if Hunter would return! HUNTER! You're on next week!

Anyway, those are some good ratings. It just proves that Triple H has nothing to do with IMPROVING ratings. If anything, he has a lot to do with dropping ratings.

Yes, I actually think he was. And I think its great that it didn't work. I thought the whole Gold Rush Tournament story arc was interesting, and it showed that the WWE could put on some really good shows when its not obligated to feed Hunter's ego.

Triple H should be one part of the shows, not the entire focus.

Was it your turn to make a little joke, Mr. Jonster? :p

Edge and Kane did well too. Good thing there was a Lita turn to make it more interesting instead of just nothing happening.

With the Edge and Kane thing, I wonder if this is will be an alert to the bookers that the internet smart mark community is larger than they know.

Probably not, but hopefully they'll accidentally stumble across more interesting stories like this anyway.

Viscera has no talent. I pray this whole thing will end soon.

Hispanic, not latina.

Melina's ugly.

Anyway...Viscera came out during a T&A segment. GEee, this is hard to figure out.

Does anyone else find it weird how everyone complained about the diva search because it took away from other things.But yet Vis hitting on Lillian,while eating draws.What next JBL doing a hurricrana?

Diva Search = Trash.

Big Vis hitting on divas while eating = Comedy Gold.

Bit of a difference.

I don't think viscera will win Wrestler of the year. *watches marcyo stare in shock* but he is entertaining with this eatting/loving gimmick.

I just don't know where they can go with this. He is getting massively over, but sooner or later we will be subjected to his wrestling again, and that will kill any upward movement by him...unless he starts managing some wrestlers who all get honry and hungry.

Man... if wrestling was a betting business and one of the topics was "Odds of people being ratings leaders," the one guy who bet on Viscera would be filthy rich right now.

Should someone check how hell's doing? Might be a bit chilly. :lol:

Viscera is the highest rated segment on RAW, Bradshaw is a Former World Champ and current Main Eventer...the Attitude Era side of me is offically died of heart attack.

Now, we just need Farooq to come back and win the WWE championship and Mideon to come back and do..something. Did he ever really do anything noteworthy in the ministry?

Yep, who ever thought in 5-6 years away from the Attitude Era, this is what we would see?

Maybe a return for George "The Animal" Steele? You know him and his fetish for turnbuckles. :shifty:
