Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted April 29, 2003 It's because of Hi-Lite Reel and Christian I tell ya!!! Actually Raw last night was pretty good compared to usual....I wsa really shocked time went so fast until I hit Bischoff/Trish. Of course I was yelling at the TV to get rid of hockey.

Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Also from 1wrestling .com... This week's edition of Raw did a 3.9 cable rating with a 5.8 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. The show did hours of 3.7 and 4.1. This is up from last week's 3.8 rating with a 5.7 share. ...hmmm, interesting. I know it's after a PPV, but still, good news is goods news period when it's from WWE, heh. I wonder what NEXT week's show will do, seeing how they made Goldberg look really strong last night, and that Austin is now co-GM with Eric Bishoff. Will it go back down to 3.8 or so, or will it up up just a tiny bit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually Raw last night was pretty good compared to usual....I wsa really shocked time went so fast until I hit Bischoff/Trish. Of course I was yelling at the TV to get rid of hockey. The Hi-Lite Reel kicks all kinds of ass. I hope they continue this, and I pray it's not just for one angle, aka, Goldberg/Christian/Jericho. Jericho is the type of guy who can REALLY get this type of segmet over in this day and age, and BAH GAWD, maybe just maybe it will end up promoting himself.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 29, 2003 I'll bet since Austin's first announcement of his return got a small raise...People might be intrigued at him being the GM... Goldberg looking good certaintly helped... I am prepared to see a 4.1 next week...Throw in that Hot NS crowd...It could be good... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted April 29, 2003 This is completely off topic but has any face besides Beefcake with the Barbershop have an interview segment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 29, 2003 A really good thing, is that the rating went UP from hour one to hour two, which it hasn't done quite a few times in the past few months. I wonder what the highest rated segmet was (not including the over run as that almost always gets the highest number), and I also wonder if Austin's return showed in THESE numbers. I mean, was it even expected for him to show up last night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest creativename Report post Posted April 29, 2003 I'm floored. How the hell is Raw magically getting good numbers all of a sudden?? We all know this won't last more than a few weeks, but it's still quite amazing. A 3.9? Unreal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Whoa. Week 1 of the White Boy Challenge, the ratings increased. Now, in Week 2, the ratings increase a bit more. Obviously, this means that Rodney Mack = ratings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh my God, you mean you DIDN'T just love that!? I can't thnk of another one either, just so you know. I think those types of segmets only work when a heel is doing it anyway. The entire point is for the face to come on the "show" and to get picked on by the big bad meanie heel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Report post Posted April 29, 2003 I'm surprised. I would have given it a 3.5 or maybe a 3.7 since Austin came back. But it wasn't that great. IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Jesus...So What was it? Nash or Goldberg? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Dammit it was Christiana nd the HI-Lite Reel and that will be my stance until the day I die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Jesus...So What was it? Nash or Goldberg? In my opinion it was Goldberg, I doubt Austin had TOO much to do with it seeing how he was a pure suprise. I guess people could have heard he was on the show and then tuned in, but I don't know about that, I don't know how that type of things works. In reality, we all know it was a mixture of backing the Mack, and the awaited in ring return of Gillberg, which sadly to say, was not to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 29, 2003 I want to see the quarterlys and see how Mack did and how Hi-Lite Reel did and compare with HHH segement... Notice a SHOCKING lack of KLIQ? the show was devoted to Goldberg and The Gang of Pissed Off People...we need a nickname PRONTO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Jazz & Victoria vs Trish brings in the ratings! This should be the Main Event next week with Austin as the guest ref of course, I promise if this happens it will bring 4+ numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted April 29, 2003 Well they finally made Goldberg look like the Goldberg of old, by taking out 5+ wrestlers at once. I mean, he should have done this his first day in the company if they wanted him over. Weird though now that Austin & Goldberg are both on RAW. If Austin is truly FINISHED in the ring, Vince better make sure to seperate the two, because the first time they see eyes, or cross each other's path, you know the fans(marks) will be begging for this match.

Guest JDMattitudeV1 Report post Posted April 30, 2003 I thought last nights show was a good one, so I'm glad the ratings increased. I thought they did a good job with Goldberg, the Highlight Real has the potential to be a regular winner, with very little of Nash and HBK with plenty of Christian. I didn't watch the last segment so I missed Austins return (Eric Bischoff in main events don't do much for me). But overall a good show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
