Interesting to notice that...
1) 1 week after HHH won the WWF title the 1st time the ratings dropped 1.7 points the next week, gained .2 point the following week but jumped back up to 6's the 3 weeks that Vinnie Mac won the title(9/14/99, the Raw on 9/13 was a 6.0), the week he VACATED the championship(9/20 [6.1]) and the night following Unforgiven '99 (9/27 [6.8].
2) In the weeks around the time HHH lost the title and regained from the Big Show and lost it to The Rock the ratings were between 4.4(2/14/00) and 6.8(1/10/00) with a 6.4 the night HHH won it back on 1/3 and peaked the week after Jericho's title win that "never happened" on 4/24(7.1, 6.7 on 4/17 when Jericho almost won the title) and 7.4 the night The Rock won the title for his 4th time.
3) Ratings started falling afterwards with only one 7(7.1, 5/22) before the big ratings freefall began on 8/28(4.9, 6.2 on 8/21) the night following Summerslam.
4) Ratings haven't reached higher than 5.8 on 9/11 and 12/11/00 and reached a low of 2.4 on New Year's '01.
5) The last time ratings reached 5's was when WCW/ECW lost the ratings war and during the month of the WCW/ECW vs. WWF PPV Invasion.
Sorry to pull an Alienoid on you guys(with apologies for using Alienoid's style of making points) but about the time WWF won the Monday Night Wars was when RAW jumped the shark.
