Guest D'Lo White Report post Posted June 30, 2004 It is not surprising that the rating dropped. A Benoit/Kane match doesn't spark the interest of the casual fan like HHH/Eugene did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 People didn't stay tuned because they didn't see The Rock. Everybody figured Rock was going to play a role in the main event and hung around last time. Which goes to show, I guess, that Rock draws best when put in as soon to the start of the show as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Did anybody even know Benoit was going to wrestle Kane? It's not as if they went out of their way to tell the fans about it the week before. All we got was HHH at the end of the Raw. Than the surprises of all surprises we get HHH all over the Raw preview with NO mention of Benoit vs Kane at all.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted June 30, 2004 How big of a drop is a .5 anyway? TNAW Impact scored a .3 on FSN and that was a big deal. But when you're above 3 or 4 points anyway, how would you look at that .5 drop? Doesn't there have to be some leeway when looking at the ratings when you're up there in points? That's why I never understood why marks gave a shit about the goddamn ratings any-fucking-way. They haven't meant shit since the Monday Night Wars and that was just to see which show more people watched that week. Back in the day when people like Ric Flair were putting on fucking classic matches, we didn't watch and wonder what the ratings were. We just wanted to see good wrestling. Have times really changed that much? They haven't to me. Fuck the ratings. If the show is still on the air, great. If it's not, that sucks. It doesn't matter to me, as a fan of wrestling how many other people are watching or how much a wrestler gets paid because the gate was bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 What were Velocity's ratings like when it was on at 10PM? .5 seems pretty shitty, even for one of their jobber/recrap shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
