Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 17, 2004 I won't use the "Post PPV" excuse anymore, because the last few RAW's that followed a PPV did pretty lame ratings, so this is a "OK, maybe this idea DID work". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bad Brad Jacobs Report post Posted November 17, 2004 i dont know if it was maven personally that spiked ratings...i think it was probably just the idea that a title could change and that the faces finally have the upper hand on raw for the first time in a while and it looks like evolution is falling apart..

Guest TheLastBoyscout Report post Posted November 17, 2004 I'm gonna get flamed for this, but... maybe it was HHH. When was the last time they had him put the belt on the line in the main event and advertise it all night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodSpikeJenkins 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 "Dude, did you hear what happened at Survivor Series? Evolution lost and now Jericho, Benoit, Orton, and Maven have control of Raw for a month!" "Evolution lost? I should watch and see how they screw HHH over!" Everytime HHH does a job, the ratings go up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 Maven still means shit. Any face could have been in his posistion and the ratings would have been the same, or higher. Maven didn't bring the ratings, the booking and overall situation brought the ratings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2004 I think it is the fact that people want the belt off of Triple H, and when there is somewhat of a chance of that happening, people are going to tune in to see it. I would imagine the next few weeks, Triple H will be defending his title, so we shall see how the ratings go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest QUP2CME Report post Posted November 18, 2004 I think it was just a well booked show. From the Tag team straps being placed on Regal/Eugene to E&C re-uniting for the night to Maven first wrestling with himself and then HHH. Let's hope the trend continues. Potentially we still have Jericho V HHH and Benoit V HHH. I'm most interested in what Orton is going to do because he cant challenge for the belt because of that stipulation.

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 You know what? I just realized that I can see what Orton books for the final week of his SS team winning. HHH© vs. Benoit vs. vs. Maven vs. Jericho in an Elimination Match. And on top of that, the face wins and RKO then says that as long as so and so holds the title HHH can never gain a shot at the World title. Just to toss it back in HHH's face. Of course, then RKO books himself a World Title match against said face opponent. At least that's what I'm thinking RKO will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 18, 2004 If this was real (HA! wrestling is so fake) Orton SHOULD book that match, and the 3 of them would beat the piss out of Hunter and pin him in a minute since it's Elimination rules. Instead, we'll get Batista vs. Triple H in a Steroid on a Pole Match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 There's a good chance the fact that the Monday Night Football game was a complete blowout (and relatively early) had an effect on the ratings, too. Most of America probably tuned out when Philly started lighting the Cowboys up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
