This just keeps getting worse and worse. I know Raw's ratings always drop in the fall because of football but I don't think football could be blamed for these ratings. If the ratings continue to drop, WWE needs to do something BIG to give them a boost.

Looks like the legends cant even provide a short term solution to their long term problems

Maybe its cuz the fans are sick of Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs. The Wyatts. I feel like these guys have been wrestling each other for a year now. WWE should have Bray Wyatt go after a title you know something he has still yet to do.

There needs to be some big change in order to improve the ratings.

i wonder what its going to take for this company to wake up. we don't need blood and over-the-top stuff....we really dont. wrestling CAN be good, if the fans are given any reason to care. we havent been given a reason to care about anything in the last 2 years or so. every single guy is just there....and wrestles. they have these makeshift feuds that take place with both guys winning or losing random matches either versus each other or some other people with interference. they dont care about ANYBODY the fans have gotten behind....every single time a guy has been getting over with the crowds he is systematically dismantled week in and week out. the exception to this so far is New Day, but even then....they barely win matches, and the only reason they've been beating the Dudley's with roll-ups lately is because they are dropping the belts Sunday. there is too much of the SAME EXACT THINGS every single week. just putting a bunch of mid-carders in a multi man match with no purpose isn't booking wrestling. it's lazy people doing lazy things. its SO frustrating. forget about all the presentation things....horrible camera work, 306 commercial breaks, commentary....just those things alone would make me tire of watching this show. seriously if i never knew what wrestling was and started watching this year i'd be completely over it by now because i havent seen a single thing that would keep my interest, and every time there was even a sniff of that, it was snubbed out in favor of another cena push or some big show matches or some lame-duck attempt at a story that castrates the guy i actually liked seeing....plus them acting like every show is a brand new thing, and that im an idiot for not having the network, etc. not to mention that for the better part of 6 months there has been at least AN HOUR a night devoted to womens wrestling which is literally the single worst & most boring thing that has ever existed in pro wrestling. if they are trying to get an all-female & all-children audience, it's working....and guess what, women & children aren't going to watch the same show every week for a year. casual viewers can only take being insulted for so many weeks before they give up. the true bottom line here is that the WWE "booking" team is a ing joke, they are clueless and lazy, and they havent done a single thing to actually improve the product in 2 years they deserve everything they get but its ok, the have John Cena

So there were more viewers this week compared to last week but the ratings overall were lower? I don't fully understand how exactly the ratings work.

They can announce all these legends appearing, but every one has gotten used to seeing Michaels, Flair, etc in a in-ring promo that in the long run does nothing for anyone. I didn't get excited that they all got announced for the show, it was a whatever because I know how they will be used. Until the WWE does something unpredictable, the use of legends while downgrading the current roster will not help them.

It would be like you get a check from work for $400 and you go put it into the bank but see you only have $290. I figured 3 million people viewing it meant a rating of 3.0. I guess I will never fully understand this ratings crap. And I don't even know how ratings work in this day with DVR and On Demand and such now. Nobody every truly watches something live unless they really want too. You can just DVR or catch it on demand!

I think another worrying sign is that there's yet another significant drop from hour one to hour three (almost 500,000 viewers.) Raw is a bad wrestling show.

Also, if nobody was watching it the week before, then they probably aren't watching it this week - thus not knowing that guys like Austin, Taker, Lesnar, HBK, Flair and such were going to be on the show. And even so, you know they aren't wrestling on Raw.
Want to make ratings happen for Raw?? Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE Title the Raw before HIAC. Then fans will watch to see if Lesnar vs. Taker will be a WWE Title match, or if Kane will get involved, or if Rollins can pin Lesnar. Instead they give ya the same recycled crap you have seen for weeks and weeks... and then get to see once again at the PPV.

I believe Raw should go back to two hours. Start at 8 est and end at 10 est, because Raw is too drawn out at 3 hours and gets boring fast.

I was watching the Giants game (and that was a complete ing disgrace) From what I saw, raw looked ok. Nothing that unoriginal occurred which is why their ratings continue to plummet.

not to mention that for the better part of 6 months there has been at least AN HOUR a night devoted to womens wrestling which is literally the single worst & most boring thing that has ever existed in pro wrestling. if they are trying to get an all-female & all-children audience, it's working....and guess what, women & children aren't going to watch the same show every week for a year.
