Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2004 This week's edition of Raw did a 3.9 cable rating, with a 6 share, according to Nielsen Media Research. That is a good sign for the company because it's even with last week's number and meant that they sustained the post-Survivor Series audience. The show did hours of 3.9 and 3.9, with the peak quarter hour occurring during the overrun, which did a 4.2. In other ratings news, Velocity did a 0.4 cable rating, with a 1 share. The WWE Experience did a 0.5 cable rating, with a 1 share. Heat did a 1.0 cable rating, with a 2 share. Credit goes to 1pop-ups.con's bastard step-child.

SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2004 That's some good news, at least Raw isn't losing viewers in the second hour like they were back in the late summer/early fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 25, 2004 Woah, Velocity did 0.4?! That's really bad considering TNA's special Impact did steady 0.3's (for the best damn sports things). When does WWE cancel the show and replace it with something hosted by Todd "Juh-shin who?" Grisham, a.k.a the worst commentator ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only The Strong Survive 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2004 A 3.9 for Spike TV's highest-rated show is depressing for both Vince and Spike. Vinny Mac is stuck in a hole and he needs to step up and mkae his product interesting for the casual fans again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 25, 2004 WWE's best ratings were when Russo was booking. WCW thought that it was smart to make him a writer when they weren't doing good. That didn't work so well, did it? You have to remember, the "Attitude" era is over with, and it's boring as hell when looking back. 9 2:00 matches, 40 minutes of Austin and Triple H/D-X...not a whole lot of thinking went into RAW back then it seems.

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 26, 2004 Who were the writers for 2000? They need to be hired, because it sure as hell was an entertaining time period. Random Comment: I still don't understand how that crappy "This Is Your Life, Rock" segment in Sept. 99 is one of the (if not) highest rated segments ever.

Random Comment: I still don't understand how that crappy "This Is Your Life, Rock" segment in Sept. 99 is one of the (if not) highest rated segments ever. The head writer for most of 2000 was a guy called Chris Kreski. He was the guy who planned things out on boards, and actually had flow charts setting out who was feuding with who, who could team with who without it not making sense, etc. The "This Is Your Life, Rock" segment got a high rating purely due to the 'car crash' effect.

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 26, 2004 Is that the kind where it starts funny, then starts losing it's comedy, then turns complete stupid, then goes back to being funny. Or is it the one where it sucks for the whole time and people just watch to see how much worse it can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2004 Kreski would never come back, even if they wanted him. But they need somebody like him that plans things out way in advance and knows simple stuff like who hates who and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
what 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2004 The "This Is Your Life, Rock" segment got a high rating purely due to the 'car crash' effect. And because Foley had a surprise for The Rock under a black sheet. People tuned in thinking it'd be someone of note but it ended up being a clown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2004 Kreski writes for the Daily Show? I didn't know that. Good for him. WWE was great in 2000 up until the time Steph took over the book in October or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2004 "Sustained a post-Survivor Series audience?" What the fuck does THAT mean? The SS buyrate will probably be one of the lowest ever. It's not like new fans bought the show and are "trying out" Raw now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
