Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted May 14, 2003 ...I asked him for specifics about this, and that's what he told me. I do know that higher ratings mean more money for whatever is pulling said rating, that's just a known fact I thought. Higher ratings also intice WWE stockholders to purchase more shares, because WWE gets more popular with more ratings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2003 Well this is... interesting. I didn't think RAW was that great at all... however, I will wait about 2 weeks to see if this is a rating trend or just a one week abberation before making any statements out it.

Higher ratings also intice WWE stockholders to purchase more shares, because WWE gets more popular with more ratings. Exactly, there are MANY ways which ratings equal income for WWE. However, you've got to remember that the ratings have got to be consistent for anyone to take it seriously. So far, it's been far from that. I think next week will pull in an alright rating. Even though it's a PPV, there isn't really anything setting the world on fire. I don't think it'll be as good as this week's, but still between 3.8 and a 4.1. Personally, I enjoyed most of RAW. Certainly it wasn't great by any means, but it was a well put together show that wasn't as godawful as previous hardsells. Between 3 Minute Roadwarriors (and RVD/Kane moving at superspeed), Austin, a CAGE match, Goldy, and Hurricane/Flair, it was a mildly entertaining show. I liked Jericho's half of the match, but Big Pooch, from any view, just bored the heck out of me. His jacknife powerbomb still looked harsh though, that's a plus. The Kliq Battles just aren't really my thing, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JDMattitudeV1 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Let's just hope that this rating doesn't encourage Vince to put the title on Nash at Judgement Day. Goldberg I can tolerate, but Nash is just plain awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sakura Report post Posted May 15, 2003 WWE needs to sign Craig Marduk badly. He could come in and be a huge monster heel and feud with Goldberg. That is a TRUE dream match right there. The only problem with him is that he's made of polygons, but considering the fact that he's a hoss and probably still a better worker than Nash...I think he would work out well for WWE.

Guest ISportsFan Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Still, this rating isn't much to get TOO worked up over, let's just see if they can sustain a rating of 4.0+. I have always said that the ratings wouldn't mean much of anything untill they either went UNDER 3.0 or over 4.0, and for two of the past three or four weeks, they HAVE went over 4.0. I hope this is a trend, perhaps a bit of interest is returning. Actually, I hope this isn't a trend. If this is a trend, then they'll keep on putting out crap. If it gets worse ratings-wise, then eventually (not soon, but eventually) they'll go back to good wrestlers wrestling (of course, I hope the ratings go up if that is the case).

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Ah shit, there's so many more calculations to do. I'll finish em some other time. Maybe I'll throw in some Ad $ numbers too. Anyways, back to the discussion. 4.4 will raise the avg rating for May, but will it matter? Looking at all those numbers up there, I don't think so. May traditionally has the highest numbers/avg. and tends to have one or two spikes in the ratings. Given the relation of this years sweeps numbers to previous years, I can't imagine ad companies paying more for ad time - if anything, they will pay less.
