Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted May 6, 2003 After posting a 3.9 cable rating last week, this week's edition of Raw dropped to a 3.5, with a 5.2 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. That is a pretty sizable one week swing, but last week's show was coming off off a PPV and the last appearance of the Rock for a while. The show did hours of 3.3 and 3.7. -1wrestling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ViciousFish Report post Posted May 6, 2003 The ratings went up after that bullshit Nash/HHH thing?? I barely even glanced at the tv for the last hour....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted May 6, 2003 It was the Lakers vs Spurs game that made the difference. The boycott had little to do with it, if anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted May 6, 2003 if it drops another .4 next week I will be pleased. Watching Jericho job to Nash is not what I call fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted May 6, 2003 The absence of the White Boy Challenge caused the ratings to go down! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted May 6, 2003 I thought the first hour of Raw was one of the better in recent memory. The crowd was absolutely jakked and it made the show great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted May 6, 2003 I didn't watch it, so that is why it went down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted May 6, 2003 I thought the first hour of Raw was one of the better in recent memory. The crowd was absolutely jakked and it made the show great. The first 30 minutes were pretty good but the show went downhill from there. When are they going to learn that fans want actual wrestling and not half assed 15 minute brawls?

Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted May 6, 2003 I didn't catch Raw, but I'm hearing it was boring, and it actually had an Austin/Goldberg confrontation that ended in a typical face beer fest. I wish Steve would've Stunned Goldy into oblivion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent_Bond34 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2003 I didn't watch it, so that is why it went down. By that logic, I didn't watch it either, so that's why it went down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was kind of cool seeing Austin and Goldberg sharing a beer- I got some goosebumps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted May 6, 2003 IT sure was great to see the show end with one guy who can't wrestle and one guy who never could. You can almost feel the ship righting itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted May 6, 2003 As much as I dislike Goldberg you know they can't do that. It was kind of cool seeing Austin and Goldberg sharing a beer- I got some goosebumps It makes for a cool face moment, but how great would it have been had Austin told Goldberg that "I call the shots" and have Goldberg really sweat for a chance at Christian.

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted May 6, 2003 I thought Austin "swimming" in that puddle of beer in the ring was funny. Last night Austin looked like he was having fun for the first time since his return. Pounding 34 beers doesn't hurt either. He must have been let off Probation early?

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted May 6, 2003 Not really- considering that Austin and Goldberg will never be able to fight it would be completely worthless. Goldberg can't afford to be bossed around by a cripple Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted May 6, 2003 sorry but the nba playoffs have not affected raw for the past 6 years. why are they given as a reason all of a sudden? the simple fact is that the wwe has failed in all aspects in giving the public any reason to watch their mediocre and quite boring/frustrating form of entertainment.

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted May 6, 2003 I think the ratings fell because the fans know Regal is most likely retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nikowwf Report post Posted May 6, 2003 Maybe the ratings fell due to the 6 hour Nash/HHH brawl that the crowd shitted all over. niko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted May 6, 2003 That too. I've gone a week without mentioning Regal at all and when I do- I get shit on? Life is a harsh cruel mitress on occasion- especially when people just can't take a simple joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest goodhelmet Report post Posted May 6, 2003 how did you get shit on? i just said that regal not appearing on your screen (since you are the only public regal supporter) would be enough for you to stop watching raw along with the millions... and millions of other fed-up fans who have quit watching for one reason or another. malice towards none.
