Guest FeArHaVoC Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Trivia247 Report post 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 Report post 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 Report post 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 DJ Jeff Report post 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.
