Monday’s edition of WWE Raw averaged 3,120,000 viewers, which was down from the 3.335 million average from last week. The third hour disconcertingly dropped below the 3 million viewer mark for the second week in a row.

Raw has failed to increase viewership over the last several weeks since the post-WrestleMania 32 episode, which averaged 4,094,000 viewers.

The first hour of Raw averaged 3,263,000 viewers, the second hour 3,184,000 viewers, and the third and final hour 2,938,000.

  1. I said YEARS ago PG was killing the company, and the Universe laughed at me.

    Who’s laughing now?

  2. PG is hurting the company.

    The Idiot Universe says WAAAA IT’S NOT THE PG WAAAAA IT’STHE WRITING WAAAAAA!

    Um….the PG AFFECTS the writing and what you could do.

    Do you wanna see a PG Friday the 13th movie????

    NO!

    You wanna see heqads get cut off and blood and guts. You wanna see a PG George Romero zombie movie???

    Of course not.

    My point is you know those movies are a certain way, and what to expect.

    WRestling is a certain way and people EXPECT it a certain way.

    You can’t do what WWE did – go all TV-14 to beat wCw – have women in thongs and blading, and then just scrap that expect people to like it, and expect not to lose people.

    The quality of WWE is poor – it is not edgy.

    It is cardboard and fake – you used to feel like you were missing something if you missed a show, now you don’t feel that way, and you DON’T miss anything.

    I say it all the time – it will show in the history books Vince McMahon was TERRIBLE for wrestling.

    Look at a PWI from the 80s and the ratings pages wth ALL those great companies and ALL those great wrestlers – it is amazing how vibrant and healthy pro wrestling was – look at it now:

    TNA has been great and they are near death, ROH puts on great shows, and they can’t get a decent tv deal, I hear NJPW is struggling.

    Vince McMahon killed the industry in the 80s when he bought all that talent with daddy’s money and shut down Memphis, Stampede, AWA, World Class, etc.

    Then he became the only game in town, and became a warped PG kidshow version of what was once pro wrestling.

    I can mark the time too – right after WM26, when the Nexus story started, and the Ross/Cole feud started.

    That was when WWE jumped the shark…..

    …..FOR GOOD!

  3. It’s funny the smarks go gaga for NXT, and how great it and Son In Law are, and how it is the “best brand in the biz”…and did you notice that was right around that time WWE numbers got even worse,

    and the more those vanilla NXT midgets come to WWE, the lower numbers are getting.

    It won’t happen, it would be too good to be true – but man I hope I live long enough to see WWE fold…

    ….because I HATE them.

    AND their water-carrier supporters.

  4. Ever notice WWE numbers have gone down, and the product got worse, when Cole became lead on RAW?

    He’s terrible.

  5. Loved Courtney Rush’s mist yesterday.

    Very “Muta/Kabuki” – like.

    Old School.

    I like it.

  6. The Decay is awesome – last night’s IMPACT had a ppv feel to it.

    EC3’s loss, EY and Roode’s last night (thank god they are both gone, but still historic)

    Proving once again TNA is the best brand in the biz.

  8. I was watching NJPW and they had the Allen Neal/Okada match, and JR said.

    “People who say AJ is too small to be a star are idiots!”

    First off it is subjective, Botchmaster Jones isn’t a god – he’s a greasy lookin midget who has botched moves and ended careers.

    And calling anyone in your audience an “idiot” is bad business.

    I have liked JR on NJPW but that was just stupid.

    But bottom line is that people aren’t saying AJ isn’t a superstar because of his size -they are saying it because he is vanilla and bland and boring, he looks like a trailer park redneck, and can’t put two decent words together on mic – he is boring on mic and sounds like an idiot and has ZERO charisma.

    TNA pushed him to the moon, and he never got an audience, then he held Dixie up for money whner he isn’t nothing but a nidcarder.

    Yeah, WWE.

    Keep pushing that trailer park trash, and um , look at those ratings this week pushing that traitor idiot.

  9. It struggles in the third hour cuz kids go to bed.

    LMAO

    I love seeing this – all the idiot Universe members like X2C who calls people who like other companies “idiots”….

    ….and all the websites that ban people for criticizing WWE and sticking up for other companies…

    …and always used WWE’s numbers (FOR YEARS!) as proof that it is so great and better than anyone else…

    …all these “NUMBERS” guys….

    I love seeing these numbers disappear.

    Because flat-out?

    WWE and its “UNIVERSE” are flat out NOT nice people.

    If the net taught me anything, it is that.

    WWE and its water-carriers” are not people that give you the feeling of wanting them to succeed and see them happy,.

    Quite the opposite actually.

    Nobody knows this better than me.

    NOBODY!

    God bless.

  10. A 2.20 rating for RAW this week…..

    …just…..

    WOW!

    Remember when that was SMACKDOWN’s RATING!!!!!

    LMAO

  11. Maybe Vincent K McMahon was wrong when he said all those years back:

    …….that he knows what people want more than the people themselves know what they want.
