Eclipse 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 WOW, that's a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Of course, the reason will be the fact that the NBA Finals got a huge rating, but who knows at this point. I thought RAW was pretty good, and I didn't picture it getting a lower rating than 4.0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2005 According to the Torch, so take this with a grain of salt: -Raw drew a 3.7 this week, up from the 3.6 of the week before. It peaked with a 4.2 rating for the overrun featuring the ECW angle. The Chris Benoit vs. Gene Snitsky "TV main event" drew a mere 3.4 rating, which was tied with Q1 as the lowest rated quarter our of the program. A big consolation is that the competiton was stiff with TNT's Detroit Pistons vs. Miami Heat deciding game seven, which drew a monster 7.5 average rating throughout and went head-to-head with all but the final 20 minutes of Raw.

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted June 9, 2005 The draft last year brought in a big increase in ratings and it was hyped for weeks this time around, they had to be hoping for at least a 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mole 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2005 I think it's funny that a 7.5 is high for the NBA while the NFL and MLB see those numbers all of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
