Raw last night did a 3.9 rating. Given the main event, and the appearance of Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan, they have to be disappointed with the number. They only have themselves to blame if Hogan didn't draw a number.

Wow, I am really suprised that the rating for Raw was so low last night. Was there a number on what the overrun did?

The main event was supposed to draw?

 

No was gonna bother knowing well enough HHH would kill JR and Batista would come out with a minute before the show ended and clear the ring.

 

They've only done that "main event" 25 times in the last 25 months.

If it weren't for Hogan being on, I would've turned RAW off after 20 minutes when it started to go to shit.

Of course this show did shit for ratings. Everyone knew exactly how the main event was going to go and know Batista doesn't show up till 11 most weeks so they tune out.

The problem, clearly, was that Vince didn't talk enough.

The problem was the show was terrible.

That's not what Hunter told me. He told me his match with JR was one of the greatest matches in recent history and that Ross has a great future as a possible IC Champ.

I dunno. He did sound funny.

 

And he did seem to like the idea of a cage INSIDE of another cage WITH a ladder AND scaffold involved...

The problem was HHH vs. JR should've been an ironman match.

No --- a PRINCE OF DARKNESS Ironman match.

How about a Buried Alive, Prince of Darkness, Hell In A Cell, Iron Man Match?

Are you Dusty Rhodes?

No, Dusty would've thrown blindfolds and an inferno match in there.

I know they love the idea of beating up Jim Ross a few times a year and putting it in a main event slot no less, but I don't think that was a good selling point for an MSG show.

 

Raw was decient otherwise.

If Hunter took JR's patented corkscrew screwdriver, it would've been nifty.

...Nova stole JR's spots...

That was the first thing I noticed. I was also annoyed that every other heel on the roster has to sell for Lawler like he's Superman but HHH can take him out with one punch.

I think you're the only one that thought Raw was even good enough to be decent, even excluding the main event.

The Coach I would hardly call good... on Heat he stills ignores every match to get heat on himself, and Grisham sucks even more.

Guest Salacious Crumb

I think it's a good statement to how bad Lawler is when it makes you wish for a tool like Coach to take over for him.

Velocity is a throw-away show as well, but Mathews and that other guy at least try and put everyone over like the matches matter.

Posted

Heel coach rules on commentary. You should watch Heat.

 

However what rating did you expect with that main event?

 

and even if people knew hogan was coming why would they watch? he essentially did the same thing as wrestlemania. and to me on tv his pop didnt sound that loud (anyone who was there can u tell me whta it sounded like live?)

Guest Fook_Theta

Correct me if I'm wrong, but velocity and heat both get higher ratings than Impact! Atleast till they started showing the midnight/extra replays.

 

This was classic anti-bischoff WCW booking. The main event was a no-brainer and the audience has repeatedly tuned out for such weak main events for years now. HHH/somebody made a bad call, and I have a feeling creative is part of the reason. You've got the first legit contender to completely dethrone HHH and they still couldn't come up with anything compelling this week.

 

I'm going out on a limb and saying this was a "filler" week. We'll all forget about this if the HHH vs Batista saga heats up in a matter of months.

Posted

Didn't they learn in 2002 that Hogan doesn't do anything for ratings? This was the first week I didn't watch in a long time BECAUSE I knew hogan was going to be on it. (oh and also because the main event was just HHH vs JR)
