Guest FeArHaVoC Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 WWE Confused Internally At Low RAW Rating Word is that WWE management is very confused following the extremely low 3.1 rating that RAW got this week. Management thought that RAW was a good show and don't understand how it drew such a low rating. No one person or thing is being blamed by the McMahons right now for the ratings drop, but most agree that the problem is either Vince McMahon's writing, Brian Gerwertz's ideas, or the Triple H effect. The general feeling is that the Katie Vick angle did not cause any loss of viewers. Credit: 1wrestling.com Add it all together, Genius.
Guest Human Fly Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 The general feeling is that the Katie Vick angle did not cause any loss of viewers. That's why things are the way they are. How can they not know?
Guest Choken One Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 It's all Jericho's fault...Damn him to his soul.
Guest notJames Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Y'know, denial isn't just a river in Egypt...
Guest Choken One Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Well if Katie Vick wasn't the problem...does that mean the long ancipated Lucy/Jericho beastality angle is on it's way?
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 The general feeling is that the Katie Vick angle did not cause any loss of viewers. So, then why did they drop that angle like a hot potato, never mentioning it on TV since?
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Sun Sets: WWE Stumped. Oh my god! Raw has been absolute horseshit for months. They should be thankful this didn't happen sooner.
Guest El Satanico Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 The general feeling is that the Katie Vick angle did not cause any loss of viewers. That's the biggest load of horseshit I've ever heard. How could they honestly believe that the necro angle hasn't affected the ratings. Lets see... Before the necro angle the ratings loss was at a drip. The week after the necro angle which lasted two weeks the ratings loss is now a gusher. Why yes of course the necro angle had no bearing at all on any of this. Wow imagine that....WWe bullshitting people
Guest Trivia247 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 you'd be confused if you locked yourself into a building and disallowed anyone to see the outside world, then Mock and belittle the smart fans who arent blithering jabbering catch phrases like idiots and you come up with ideas that your YES MEN like but everyone else on the globe thinks its dumb, but since you don't listen to people then you don't know whats good or bad...... see how confusing it would be?
Guest snowfan Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 I am Vince E Coyote....certified genius.... Hey vince when you are already sub 4 you should worry less about getting "new" fans with crap like Katie Vick(rolling eyes) and worry about keeping the base who tunes in because they like *gasp* wrestling...
Guest mach7 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Vince McMahon is a moron. It's plain and simple. He's always been a moron who think's he's in tap with what the fans want. I don't care how many times he could "buy and sell my ass" with his billions of dollars. Vince's success was a simple case of right place/right time. Don't forget the fact that he's also led around by a bunch of yes-men who make him see himself as this "genius" that everyone calls him. Ever see that Simpson's episode where Burns goes bankrupt because Smithers & his lawyers are too chicken-shit to tell him that his stocks suck and how much money he's losing? Well, Vince is burns, and if he's DUMB enough to think that the SHIT he's putting on television right now is "entertaining" then he'll fucking deserve it when his craptastic company goes belly-up.. and, I, for one, can't wait.
Guest Trivia247 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 you'd think like On PAPER the WWE got a BRAINTRUST of Wrestling geniuses. I mean you got Vincent K Mcmahon you got Paul E Heyman and you got Eric Bischoff (In a On air role at least) Three heads of three of the most popular Promotions the USA ever seen. now if you got three Decent promoters in one promotion... THEN WHY THE HELL IS THIS SHIT SO TERRIBLE?
Guest El Satanico Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Because Vince doesn't listen to anyone other than Stephanie?
Guest mach7 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Well, as it turns out Stephanie didn't need the Alliance to drive her daddy's company into the ground after all... *grin* She just had to become head-writer! ;p
Guest razazteca Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 now the big test is the Raw after the PPV show this Monday, if this show does not go beyond 3.1 then they are truely in trouble. HHH or HBK as champion = 2.5 ratings!!!

Vince: Hmm..catsup...ketchup..?
Guest Kid Kablam Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Excuse me, could you direct me to the Burns-Os?
Guest chirs3 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 The last Raw was a half-decent show (that half being the first hour), but still...
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 They're confused about low ratings on RAW? Let me see if I can simplify it for them: YOU ONLY FOCUS ON ONE PERSON ON THE SHOW AND RATINGS ARE FALLING BECAUSE HE IS NOT A DRAW. God Damn that Hurricane!
Guest AndrewTS Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Katie Vick angle didn't lose viewers...yeah, sure. How the hell can the WWE be so tree-stump stupid?! Are they just reporting this wrong, or are they really this fucktarded?
ChrisMWaters Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Is there any way we can kille Vince, Steph, and HHH to make it an accident, then have Paul Heyman in charge of WWE? I could see him doing pretty well.

Ah well... *goes back to defending the Undisputed Championship as RVD in Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth (PS2 game)*

Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 At least they're acknowledging the HHH effect these days.

Guest DJ Jeff Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 Maybe the reason the WWE can't understand why RAW got low ratings, is because Vince and company feel what they're producing is what the fans want to see. See, Vince is doing all this for us, so let's not bash him. However, if HHH or HBK walk out of the Survivor Series the World Champion, and especially if the Big Show wins the WWE Title, then we'll know he isn't listening to us fans. Hey, the fans didn't like the necro angle, and after the poll on wwe.com, it was dropped. Vince must be listening to us..... Or not. I guess we'll just wait and see.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted November 15, 2002 Report Posted November 15, 2002 No one person or thing is being blamed by the McMahons right now for the ratings drop, but most agree that the problem is either Vince McMahon's writing, Brian Gerwertz's ideas, or the Triple H effect. I vote "All Of The Above."
