Guest NoSelfWorth Report post Posted June 24, 2003 This week's edition of Raw did a 3.9 cable rating, with a 6.3 share. That is down from last week's 4.1. The show did hours of 3.5 and 4.3. Credit - 1popups.con Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 24, 2003 Unless Kane did 4.5 and Steiner/Test drew 1.9 or something... it's safe to say...That they dropped the ball here... Back to the drawing boards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NoSelfWorth Report post Posted June 24, 2003 Maybe they should have spent more than just a week hyping this match. Something as big as this, from a storyline point of view, really should have gotten more than a one week build up. And if anyone gets blamed, it won't be Cripple H.

Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted June 24, 2003 Why would Kane be doomed? The second hour (the hour in which his match was featured) drew a 4.3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murmuring Beast 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2003 Vince Mode: I don't need to look at hourly ratings! - Kane sucks ass and he's ugly as fuck, he obviously can't draw. Look at this crappy christmas card he gave me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Report post Posted June 24, 2003 how so? It DROPPED from last week's show which didn't have this HUGE main event at MSG. A 3.9 is better then the low 3's they were getting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoSelfWorth Report post Posted June 24, 2003 how so? It DROPPED from last week's show which didn't have this HUGE main event at MSG. A 3.9 is better then the low 3's they were getting. It's still a very disappointing rating, considering the main event and the stips it had. I think they would have hit the 4.5 range, if they had ever honored their previous stipulations. I think a lot of people were thinking they were going to get swerved, and didn't tune in. You can't pop a rating with a stipulation match if you have a history of never honoring previous stipulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MARTYEWR Report post Posted June 24, 2003 OT: Quik, that sig of yours is hilarious! I think the 3.9 is disappointing considering all the hype and build-up that led to the show. But yeah, it's likely Glen Jacobs will get a lot of the blame, unless Vince is still serious about pushing the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest D'Lo White Report post Posted June 24, 2003 I've noticed the ratings is never good when the show opens with a Test match. I mean is it any surprised the first hour did so low when it featured a Test match, a segment centering around a guy the WWE is telling their fans is boring and Sgt. Slaughter in a handicap match ( I don't remember Hurricane being in that match at all.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted June 24, 2003 Kane is dead. There are several possibilities WWE can go with this unmasking. 1. Glen Jacobs vs Randy Orton 2. Glen Jacobs vs RVD 3. Glen Jacobs can go crazy and be like Mick Foley using past personas to get over. 4. Glen Jacobs vs HHH in a hair match 5. Austin will continue to taunt Kane to insanity to become the Monster that no sells everything. Worst than Road Warrior Hawk even worst than Goldberg. Kane was not the reason for the low ratings Bawh Gawd its Jericho & Storm's faught for the BORING match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Just call me Dan Report post Posted June 24, 2003 "Worst than Road Warrior Hawk " That's hilarious. I'd like to see everyone get on his ass and taunt him and make him a monster again. I think they'll do that, and have him in sort of a Hulk mode. He's pretty calm but one remark about his face or anything implying that and he'll snap.

Guest razazteca Report post Posted June 24, 2003 You don't want to make Glen Jacobs angry.... As for the low ratings I suspect that some viewers were angry that a commercial break was run during nearly every match and probably just watched the History Channel's special about comics until the last 10 minutes of Raw to see the unmasking.

Guest Dangerous A Report post Posted June 24, 2003 While not a huge disaster, the rating is a disappointment considering what was on the line and the buildup for it last week. Last week they were actually in the 4 range and while 3.9 is right there, it's down and it should've been a smidge higher. Perhaps the audience knew Kane had no chance to win and said fuck it, who cares what he looks like with no mask on. If they can't give the illusion Kane (or anyone facing HHH for that matter) has a prayer, then why tune in when you don't care about the payoff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Eagan469 Report post Posted June 24, 2003 I would have thought they hit 4.0 last night. Ah, whatever. Ratings don't matter that much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oldschoolwrestling Report post Posted June 25, 2003 Kane drew a 5.0!!! For those curious, the ratings for Raw really didn't kick in until hour two this week. The show started at a 3.0 before doing a 3.4 and then two 3.7s. Hour two, which started with the tribute to Mick Foley, spiked (I better watch out or Mr. Lee will sue me for using that word) to a 4.5. The next three segments dropped to 4.0 and two 4.1s before the overrun delivered a strong 5.0 quarter hour for Kane's de-masking. ...

Murmuring Beast 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2003 They'll bring back Paul Bearer, but not Percy Pringle, have Kane kill him and thus delibrately get bad ratings and then have a reason to fire him.
