Caliban 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 From the observer... --Raw on Monday night did a 4.0 rating from England Was it Christian, or Batista... or the hot crowd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benoit4hor 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 I'm thinking it was the Trish & Vis angle. Actually Vis showed some of the best "acting" I've ever seen on Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taker666 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Just an overall interest in the product. I really don't think people tune in just to see one guy with around 50 superstars on the roster. I thought Raw was overall a good show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Clearly they knew that the Page 3 girls would be on the show and all the filthy Limey's tuned in. And Big Vis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
what 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 I think Christian is a guy who shows should be based around. He's so much more interesting than HHH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taker666 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 I think Christian is a guy who shows should be based around. He's so much more interesting than HHH. But that will never happen with both of them on the same show, which is why Christian desperatlly needs to go to SD! away from Triple H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Just move everyone to Smackdown, leaving Triple H and Ric Flair by themselves on RAW. It's whats most important on RAW apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2005 "which is why Christian desperatlly needs to go to SD! away from Triple H. " Same could be said about Jericho, Kane, Edge... put any top star on RAW in that place really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Desperate Housewife Report post Posted April 27, 2005 I'd hardly call Chris Jericho or Kane "big names on Raw" if the former is fodder for Shelton Benjamin! and Kane is fighting Mabel..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted April 27, 2005 Kane did pop big ratings during his unmasking angle... then Shane McMahon kicked his ass. So when booked right, he is a big name. Ditto Jericho... it's just right now, they're an afterthought in booking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2005 4.0 really isn't that great. In 2003 we used to regularly have "OMG 4.0" threads during the dark period until it became obvious it wasn't really that big an accomplishment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2005 It's obvious, it was Christian. I mean, just take a look a Shopzone, his shirts #1 surpassing Cena's CD/Jersey/Bracelet (lol)/and well..all of the other stuff, and it's been up there what? Since 2004? Man, what a segment with Vince Mcmahon can do. Yea, I know it really wasn't Vince. But as someone said, probaly just an overall interest in the product. And 4.0, even though more common now then they were last year, or the year before is still good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2005 It was Christian though some of the Trish/Vis stuff was really good. The delivery in the "What does Viscera mean?" exchange was especially awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2005 Anyone else notice how the ratings tend to go up when Batista is in the main event and down when HHH is in the main event? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted April 28, 2005 Anyone else notice how the ratings tend to go up when Batista is in the main event and down when HHH is in the main event? It was like that last year as well. Ratings would do ok when Benoit was around or advertised and tanked when it was clear Benoit was going to be a complete afterthought.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2005 Just move everyone to Smackdown, leaving Triple H and Ric Flair by themselves on RAW. That would be a sight to behold, Ric would open up Raw with a 'whoooooo' in the middle of the ring, Triple H would sit down in the ring and talk about what he was going to do to his next opponent, before realising that he's got noone to face, therefore just spends 2 hours talking about his accomplistments.

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2005 they oughta keep Hurricane Helms on Raw then so he can interrupt every week at about 10:50 EST only to be thrown off the stage and pedigreed every week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted April 28, 2005 I just want to know why they couldn't find room for the Heart Throbs. Have they abandoned all hope after one match? -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JerichosHi-Lite Report post Posted April 29, 2005 Christian is awesome and totally over right now. Which makes me think they'll turn him face. His gimmick could maybe work as a face, but judging by Randy Orton, it's unlikely. They better get behind Christian and push him to the moon ... or the Raw equivalent, being Triple H's latest jobber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted April 30, 2005 No, they'll just ignore him. Shame. I could handle him doing 20 minute promos. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
