Raw rating absolutely TANKS!
 

2.5

Company is probably gonna be overhauled in the next week.

Calling it now, Vince will say the rating is low because Cena lost.

SPOILER:


















Cena wins :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

He won't mention Chris Benoit then?

Yeah, they'll blame it on the faces losing, and we'll see the same shitty product. This is of course forgetting that the rating has been slipping for weeks, and that Cena only lost at the end of the show.

The WWE needs to really overhaul their product, which is what we've been saying for years. Finally the ratings are beginning to reflect this. Not that they were epic before, but they were always considered somewhat successful.

Holy shit, thats awful.

maybe in passing, but he'll say it's the cyclical nature of the business and blame it on Carlito for going over Cena.

Logic is not necessary when describing Vince.

I'll ROFL if Smackdown gets at least a 2.5

Maybe its becuase the product has been shitty for months now, and now they have no star power to keep anyone watching. Maybe, Maybe not.

I knew it was <3.0, but Jesus.

What you want to bed WWF Fan finds another site that gves them a 3.2.

Why do I get the horrible feeling that Vince will try to fix this by having Cena begin a feud with Snitsky?

Yeah, I don't know how it helps ratings, either, but I don't think Vince cares.

To be perfectly honest, if the ratings continue to get this low, I can see the WWE ending the brand split, just for the initial stir it would cause.

They should keep ECW and combine Smackdown and Raw.

That's not a bad idea at all, actually. It makes sense, too, as RAW and SmackDown! were developed under the company, whereas ECW is kind of adopted.

Cena will unify all of the titles.

That's true. However, it will all be worth it if even then the rating does not go up, and the WWE is forced to bring in someone else to take the title of Undisputed Champion...*cue countdown to Chris Fucking Jericho.*

Or they will just hope Triple H does the trick.

Holy shit. I hope this makes Vince wake up and realize that 80s style booking doesn't work anymore.

Wow

The guy cares, he just has no clue how to change it.

Vince is a bad promoter.

Good

Gospel Truth right there.

This make Zombie Jesus return to the grave...

I didn't think Raw was great, but I didn't think it was that bad.

But yeah, when everyone comes out asking for a title shot week after week, it gets annoying. It kinda pisses me off that the are always have Kennedy doing it, and losing week after week. It makes him look stupid.

This is terrible news.

Bottom line, Raw is awful, Smackdown is worse, and the ratings are starting to show it. I used to never miss Raw, ever, but I have'nt watched in two months. I just look at the results and see if anything has changed to make me even cosider watching again, and I'm always right, nothing ever does.
Maybe the ratings finally going in the tank will make something different or for heavin fucking sake unexpected actually happen, like the brand extension finally going away. You can't have a brand extension when their are no stars to fill it. If years ago you would of told me that the WWE would even be surviving without Austin, The Rock, The Undetaker, Jericho, Angle, Benoit, Lesnar, Guerrero, and HHH (eventhough HHH and Taker are returning) I would've told you that it probally would'nt, and well, I'm almost right.

I know what Monday Night Raw needs, and it's something that I mentioned TNA should use with Test.

Man, I've watched it twice now, and it's still not funny at all.

Maybe it will be funny the 3rd time you watch it then.

nah, what Raw needs is more of this:

Tried that with Dusty and Orton. Didn't work.

^

It would have worked, there just wasn't enough. It needed more!

The difference between the ratings of ten years ago to those now are huge. Ten years ago, Raw was producing great shows, it's just the people never knew it due to the dire situation of the years 93-95. Those ratings were low but they didnt seem that way for the time, and the thing was that there was nothing but the positive potential for people to pick up on a good product, and the numbers would soon increase.

Now you're seeing the slide..stagnant, boring, predictable programming leading the people flocking away from viewing. These ratings are low and there isnt any bright outlook for the very near future.

The low numbers now are scary simply because the shows are also awful. So it's obvious as to why they are low. Totally different situation a decade earlier.

If Raw isn't on TV anymore, I might cry.

UGH, imagine if WWE went out of business and people were forced to watch TNA? Yuck.

I guess that's how it was for the WCW die hards circa 2001, though.

Let The (Roided Up) Bodies Hit The Floor

LOL, I'm sorry, but, LOL.

Could not be more happy about this news. And I hope ratings continue to get worse, I hope USA backs out of their deal with WWE, I hope the entire industry is done away with. Honest to god I would rather it disappear/disassemble to the old territory system than continue on with the utter bullshit that has been displayed ever since the day after WrestleMania X-Seven. I would rather mourn the end of an era than sit by as it continues to make a mockery of one of the most entertaining products I had ever seen in my life.

No, he'll just "wake up" and "realize" that Kennedy, Carlito, and Cody Rhodes will never be able to carry anything and move to make a Cena/Lashley superfeud restart and last through Wrestlemania 2025.

i don't know what to say anymore. I mean there were all the same problems, plus new ones and ones that they haven't had for a while that they decided to revisit.

Rather cynical, but I can't help but agree. There really seems to be no way of "fixing" WWE these days.

Plus, I think it'd be poetic justice for ROH to become the dominant promotion merely by default.
