From PWtorch.com
WWE Raw drew it's lowest summer rating in over nine years, and the lowest live non-holiday rating in over 20 months with a 3.35 rating (rounded up to 3.4).
Last week's drop in rating was attributed in part to going up against ESPN's Home Run Derby, which drew a monster rating, especially in WWE's key demographic.
The fact that WWE Raw remained lowly rated and dropped a bit further rather than rebounding is a sign of concern for WWE going forward.

A sign of concern? 3.4 is by no stretch a bad rating and their "biggest competitor" have wet dreams over the thought of a 3.4...

WWE are lacking a ton of stars right now. They are in the worst ever. Things should hopefully pick up when Mysterio, Trips and HBK return.

I think it's cause of how dull and boring the show has been the past few weeks. Ofcourse, Keller wants to blame it all on the whole Benoit story. The Torch is turning into the Fox news version of the wrestling media. If they were right then I think the Raw numbers would've seen a bigger drop. Plus, Smackdown is still doing the same numbers and their stock hasn't dropped dramatically. Today it was at $16.47, up $0.06 from yesterday.

Not surprising at all. With the Home Run Derby and Larry King Live taking away from WWE's fans, and because last week's line-up consisted of random matches and squashes, well, it deserved less than a 3.4 to be honest. Cade and Murdoch and seeing Beth Pheonix again were the only good parts of RAW.

Things will only get worse when Edge's 'Big Announcement' is made Official on Smackdown...
But, Triple H should help to draw big Ratings, as should Rey Mysterio. Chris Jericho would be much needed now.

It should be a concern. I've never been one to say I'll stop watching. But I have turned it off the last two weeks at least 30 minutes before it ends.

That means the worst rating since the summer of 98? I figured ratings were good during the summer of 98.

They raided all of Smackdown's top talent for the "A show" and still can't do anything remotely good to what Smackdown is doing. Damn that Brian Gerwitz.

because Raw is a joke.
ok, we all wanted Jillian on Raw.. ok, we get Jillian, but we trade our best Diva or one of the best.. in Victoria.. to a show with esentially no womens division.. so now Jillian is stuck on a show with 1 or 2 other good female wrestlers.
its just stupid little things like that, that make the WWE so crapty right now.
did i mention smackdown has like two top guys?

because The Main Event scene is a joke this is such a truth... no one cares about most of these people.. they need a little drama (not much) around the title and with 50 titles its hard to do that.. and if you aint down wit dat i got 2 words for YA ................JOHN CENA
