they've been drawing rating like that for years so meh. If TNA had drawn more than a 0.8 they'd have more to worry about. But to do that, they have to not consistantly put out a horseshit product. That doesn't mean having one good show and the 5 bad ones in a row, that means consistently good t.v.

I'm glad this war mongering from TNA is over but since they'll never come out and say "we went to Mondays and got crushed like a paper cup caught in a press" I wonder what they'll say instead.

4/19 ratings for Raw were 2.7 and too low to hit the top ten, which means 2.6 or lower.
The hour that track drew half a million fans less than normal for a Raw over the last few years. Raw is hurting. They're just better able to weather this scenario because they've got more fans to lose. |

Considering the lack of competition, teh E doesn't have much to worry about.

1. Way to shift the goalposts.
2. I'd say they have a lot to worry about, given a slow but steady decline into irrelevance. The idea that they need only fear loss from competition is ludicrous, since they are still just another TV show and only secure as long as they perform well as one. |

I dunno they've been pretty stagnantly crappy for the past 8 years or so. There's been upshifts in the product briefly, but they always seem to come out okay. Until they're consistantly drawing in the 2s it really isn't all that big of a deal to them. But ok guy, they are in dire straits.

But nice goalpost shift again with the dire straits. What you said was wrong. Still is. they may not be in "dire straits" yet, but that doesn't mean they have "mot much to worry about," or the lack of competition is meaningful or that they've been drawing like that for years. Wrong on all counts, Dale. I can see why you'd want to snark at me instead of just admitting that, though. |

Anyone think about their going PG doesn't really work when their audience's bedtime is around when RAW starts?

The 4/26 ratings were 2.9 and 2.8, for the record.

Yeah that's funny. Also think about this. When the WCW buyout happened Raw was drawing in the 4s. Now they get this rating? That means in just over 9 years, Vince has lost more fans than TNA has ever had. They aren't going broke anytime soon, but there's no 'big payday' anymore either.

Of course, this isn't sustainable, and eventually they will price themselves right out of business if they keep it up. But I doubt many people will know the difference or care until that point. Marketing to kids is actually probably a very shrewd business move on the part of WWE, since that's where the spending power is these days. Parents are more likely to buy tickets if their kids want them. And that spinner belt, T-Shirt, and sweat band. It's still not sustainable, but it will increase the length of time it takes for the problem to become apparent. And really, isn't this just a carnie scam Vince is pulling on his investors? |

I really think you should wait for another week to see if Raw gets back to pre Jan-4 ratings before jumping the bucket. Granted that TNA has taken away viewers from Raw, but surely that was to be expected? I concede however that this is not a positive way of thinking for WWE's biggest show and more like a "Oh well, hopefully we will go back to ~3.5 now".

And RAW was actually pretty good these last couple of weeks. Im thinking that's why they stacked RAW with the draft. Also, having people in their best roles in kayfabe sense because Randy should've been like he is a long time ago, Batista should've been like he is a long time ago, Cena...thats like a double-edged sword. The kids love him but the older pure wrestling fans "dislike" him. He = money, but not ratings. So i guess the WWE has to decide if thats what they want or no.

Batista's the same guy he was as a face. His delivery isn't really different, he's not different. The only thing people are fawning over is him being a heel now, because nothing makes the IWC fap over someone faster than "turn him heel."

Cena's fine where he is, too. I don't like it, but he's not anathema to ratings. In fact, if it was a better show overall, he'd probably look better to the IWC. Cena is the face of WWE, so he gets an unfair amount of crap leveled on him as though simply being their #1 guy makes him responsible for the entire product. Or at least, the entire televised product.
Not that he's perfect, mind. |

He's largely the same, agreed. He just doesn't do the unnecessary dancing and prancing on stage when he shows up, and they've replaced that with the darkened arena with the spotlight over him as he now slowly saunters to the ring. I do like that he's more serious and not a giant goof who comes off as somewhat of a slacker anymore.
