Raw's Rating is Bad News For WWE Heading into Survivor Series

Last night's broadcast of Monday Night Raw drew a final 2.9 cable rating, which is down from last week's 3.1 number. The first hour drew a 2.91 and the second hour drew a 2.82. That's the second week in a row that hour two of Raw has seen a drop from hour one.

Makes one wonder why this is happening really. It's possible that people tune out after watching the first half of the show, but I can't be sure. I haven't see Raw in a while so I'm really not the one to judge, but my prediction is maybe they don't want the main event that is announced at the start?

Hmm, I agree with Inah, I think that they are giving too much away at the start of the show. Maybe if we had some surprise main events then people wouldn't get bored and switch it off.

Well Raw numbers are a little down in compared to last year. But its always low during this time of year as it competes with MN Football. To add to matters Its top star hasn't been active (Cena) And Batista despite how much people like him couldn't sell water to a thirsty Arab in the desert. He's big and strong and brings a little excitement in the ring but he can't cut promos and thats a career killer (i.e. Lashley). Plus until last Monday it hasn't put out a good show since about the beginning of october. So if your a football fan and WWE fan like I am you check to see whats going on and see a match and go ah! i catch the recap on Saturday at 2 in the morning :damn:

What they should do is put the NFL game on the titantron. And in fact have J.R. tell you whats happening and update you on the game. That way you can get both. What would kill them is if the NFL played highlights of Raw during the game.

Thats a great idea homie. I wonder if its a way to mention it to them. Matter of fact I'll check to see if Jim Ross is on WWE Universe and see if i can mention it to him tonight.
