How do you see ratings being effected with Cena out of the picture?
I see the ratings staying around where they are.
However, I am curious about how the WWE could explain a ratings boost with Cena out. |

I think they will actually go up. Not a huge boost, but there will be interest in the new WWE Champion, and if the programming is good, they could continue.
John Cena as WWE Champion was boring. There is no kinder way to put it. Cena has been bland since 2005, and a large part of 2004, and his reigns have lasted way too long. Anything else is at least interesting. |

Hmm... They'll probably stay the same. I'd like to think they'd go up, but I can easily think about how they'd go down. Same for the reverse.

The WWE can't expect the ratings to go up if they take another Superman and give him the title. It's the exact same thing, and interest will disappear. They need to go with something different at this point in time. I still say go with the Battle Royal and the surprise winner. |

They'll go down.
Hundreds of thousands of mothers will have much easier times putting their 10 and 12-year old boys to sleep on Monday nights, And hundreds of thousands of plain, husky teenage girls will find something else to masturbate to on Monday nights. Probably football. |

I'll be staying up on Monday night to watch for the first time in years. Just because NO CENA.

I think there will be some ratings increase from the hype from SAVE_Us.222 and such, but I think there will be little to no initial change. On the upside, the ratings will likely not go down anymore, either. |

IF they could step someone up, it would be awesome. If they could step someone up and create a memorable feud, it could lead to an increase in ratings.
If WWE does what they usually do, Trips will hold the title for the next 8 months and no benefit can be gained. |

I reckon Randy will pick up the title this Sunday and then do a 2/3 month program with Trips, resulting in the Game winning. Then Trips will keep the belt warm for Cena.

Unless they panic and bring a lot of the big stars from SmackDown! and ECW over to RAW and/or they improve the writing (lol), I doubt ratings will stay up for more than two weeks.
I don't doubt there will be at least a small spike next week. |

All I can say is that Raw's been hanging around 2.9 for a month plus, which I think is a pretty good indication things are bad. But WWE can't capitalise on it, I'm pretty sure.

No change. People that watch will keep watching. People that don't watch will keep not watching. People that stop watching because they are tired of a John Cena or other people will maybe watch again but that is not enuff to effects the ratings by themself. To boost rating anything big they need a mainline angle again./

Anyway, while I don't think you're completely wrong, it's utterly ridiculous to say the people who went away because of Cena can't make an impact. Don't get me wrong, I think they won't, but there was a huge drop in ratings that can be largely attributed to the fans utterly hating John Cena. That it would otherwise just happen to coincide with the fan reactions is just too tinfoil hat, drink the Kool-Aid for me. Thing is, I don't think it'll make much of a difference. I think WWE'll probably just slap the title on Triple H, and things will be business as usual. I think they'll screw up their big chance for a change in course, and continue to throw money at Cena and HHH. |

Anybody who complains about Cena, yet fails to tune in religiously during his absence, is a filthy hipocrite who will thusly forfeit their right to bitch on the internet.

I somehow doubt a single person who falls under your statement hasn't already forfeited their right. They will anyway. Because the internet smark is by nature a whiny, hypocritical, and most of all, stupid being. |

Yeah, I am fully commited to being a filthy hypocrite. Get used to it. I still love wrestling and will put up with complete crap with the promise of a resthold to be seen.

Yes, we know, BDC.

1) Boogen is only on ECW
2) Boogen isn't even on ECW anymore ![]() So I got to watch something. Anyhow, at least I admit my faults while still refusing to correct them. That is something, ain't it? |

Oh yeah, I love me some hate crimes. Like when Christian was bashing Coma Joe's head with a conchairto, that was awesome. I also enjoy when the blacks are fighting the mexicans, because the white man is the real winner. Anyhow.

Anyway,
Cena's absence will spark some interest, but it will all depend on how the WWE will handle this. Giving the title to HHH is pretty much inevitable, b/c nobody can draw, for they have been job'd too much. Can anyone even see Cena being interesting w/o the freestyles (since he doesnt do them nemore) and without the title? Last edited by Johnny Vegas; 10-05-2007 at 01:24 PM. |

I could see him as entertaining whether or not he freestyles. They just need to stop cramming him down our throats as the übbermensch babyface.
