Hmmmm, Daniel Bryan and Cm Punk are franchise players right?
CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan and Lord Tensai in the overrun actually lost viewers – 105,000 for a 2.94 rating. It’s almost impossible to lose viewers in the overrun because you’ve got people tuning into the USA Network for their next show.
Feel free to blow me at your will. |

Funny thing is that I saw this, and thought to myself, "Wonder if Gertner is aware of this?"

TBF, maybe 2 people here have referred to Punk and Bryan as "Franchise Players".

And the Rock's return match at survivor series did horrible numbers so he must not be a "Main Eventer" either.

A perfect example. Rock couldn't draw big numbers for Survivor Series, but draw well for WM. The reason it didn't appeal more buys for Survivor Series was the storytelling. Why have ROCK accept Cena's offer to be a tag partner when he didn't like him? Where is my traditional survivor series matches? If you want to blame "the numbers" on anyone, blame it on the writers.

Punk's proven to be good for business so the argument is invalid on him. MoFo's data if correct shows that if anything it's Daniel Bryan who's the cause here, though Tensai probably didn't help any.

To be fair any 'new' star is going to lose viewers at this point though. WWE hasn't built anyone up as a real deal in ages so it's no wonder people don't take them seriously.

The character development is shit. This issue tends to get lost when discussing who "sucks as a main eventer". The company sucks at building up main eventers. |

I hate how we look deep into the "numbers" to determine our opinions on wrestling matches/segments.

Blakeamus is right. Back in the day, before all these numbers were available to the fans we wouldn't even be having a conversation this stupid. Honestly I almost miss the days when we had to just go by what WWE let us know.

I watch Raw on Youtube specifically so I can skip Daniel Bryan stuff, its just funny to laugh at how many ppl hate him though.

Yes, God forbid that we can't have an opinion without being influenced by what the "numbers" show.

You do when people claim that Daniel Bryan is this huge sensation, should be main eventing, some people saying he's a "franchise player", when it's completely obvious that he isn't a ratings draw at all. You shouldn't be losing viewers in your main events.

I can go with your opinion of how you feel towards Daniel Bryan as a worker, but when I see people make their opinions by "going by the numbers", I wonder if the person is really a fan of "wrestling" or a fan of the ratings. They seemed too concern on what they scooped up from information.
It's a business and numbers are important...YES! But let VINCE MCMAHON be concern of his BUSINESS. Let's enjoy wrestling without spoiling ourselves over numbers to determine our views on the product! |

I remember reading there was a RAW sometime in 97 headlined by Steve Austin vs. Undertaker, which was the lowest rated RAW at the time. Besides, it's not like Cena is such a huge ratings draw. I wish somebody could pull up the numbers during Cena's first year on top. He sells shitloads of merch, sure, but so does Punk.

Plus, JBL was such a ratings draw too, wasn't he Gertner?
