Carlito being in the main event was a good thing, especially since he pinned Cena. Carlito needs to be pushed more as a main eventer so don't go blaming Carlito.  Nah - Carlito is rubbish and should NEVER be booked in the main-event again... You don't have a mid-carder, pin the previously unbeatable, WWE Champ - even if it was due to inteference... How is that good for ratings, as far as the casual audience, is concerned?... I disagree and heres why, it was different! I love the fact that interference caused it, we need to see more of that, bring some stables back, have them cheat Cena out of the gold. That helps him keep his cred but also builds the heel that beats him, thats how good wrestling has worked as long as I can remember it. |

How is that good for ratings, as far as the casual audience, is concerned?... What they're doing is mixing in these upper card (but not quite main event) guys with their established main eventers in attempts to boost them. Cena benefitted from matches with Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. Orton and Batista both got taken seriously as result of being around Triple H and Ric Flair. It boosts them up a notch. Carlito and Mr. Kennedy being involved in promos/matches with any mixture of Cena/Orton/Lashley (and to some extent, King Booker) won't instantly put them at a main event level, but it helps separate them from the other guys in the middle of the card. |

Hopefully they learn from this. Wait, who am I kidding? It's gonna be the same week in week out; Cena opens the show, Cena makes horrible attempts at being funny, Cena makes the matches, little bit of Lashley and Kennedy in between, Cena 'wrestles' last, his 5 moves dominate, Cena ends the show with the win after overcoming the odds.. COMPLETE ****. So true, I always try to catch the first 10-15mins of raw and I swear it does follow that pattern and I just shut if off. Cena just either needs to go away for a while or drop the belt and stay away from it for a little while. I wish some of the older stars would come back to help out some of the new ones. There are some good stars in wwe right now they just aren't used right. I think bring back some old stars would help wwe some. |

They should just open the show with The Rock's theme, there's your ratings boost.

On the Raw side, there only missing Triple H and HBK, when HHH does return the ratings will go up a bit, but this is really bad. Hopefully vince finally gets it through his juiced up skull that the fans don't like this crap he calls wrestling. It amazes me how a company that did so well until Mania, totally bombed afterwards.

They may still be beating TNA, but that isn’t saying much considering how big WWE is compared to TNA. In a sense, TNA is doing better in more ways than one for a small company that really hasn’t been around that long. Either way you look at it, TNA ratings have been slightly rising, WWE's are drastically falling. I know you want WWE to go back to the early 90's to late 90's but that isn't gonna help either, those times are gone aswell as the intrest in that kind of wrestling from the casual fan. |

I had a feeling the rating would be low. Orton is the number one contender but they make him face Slaughter. Cena is not funny, and hes tries so hard to be, just makes people change the channel. Kennedy/Lashley for like the millionith time, they fought each other on ECW, No Way Out and a few times on Smackdown. Add that with No Jeff Hardy, Umaga/Marella AGAIN, No HBK, No HHH.

Looks like most of the USA agrees with most of us now...WWE is going into full-blown panic mode over this, I guarantee it.

Belive me, it would help. Nothing they're doing now is helping them. If not only by making titles mean something again and having control over the roster. And who said early or late 90's? Get back to any time period prior to mid 2002 and 2003. The 70's, 80's, get back to when IT was alive and thriving. They can do it. The ground work is all there, thats the whole history of the company, dont let the past few years of crap overshadow it all and what it can still be. Realistically, its very simple. Get back to their roots. Ending the roster split, ending ECW, cutting back on the roster, PPVs and titles, make the titles mean something again, bring back some old faces, start some stables, better build up and usage of superstars and right there I know 100% ratings would go up. They did it all before and its time to do it again and keep it that way. |

The Problem is the WWE is stuck in the Attitude Era, they need to invent something new not rehash old ideas or stay stuck on the current ones

No, there is nothing at all even close to the attitude or any previous era on TV whatsoever.
Relatively speaking, the ratings now are even worse than 10 years ago because back then, the amount of TV’s per house hold were a lot less and there was a much smaller demographic unlike how the ratings are done today. So this is bad. As much as I'm down on the E, even I’m shocked its this low. But I wont say I'm not thrilled. This is good news for everyone, well fans.

Sheesh Smackdown is gonna probably gonna be higher.
And with the Carlito thing its cool, it shows that Cena can lose. And plus it wasn't clean and it elevates Carlito. So it's fine in my eyes.

The 7/30 airing of WWE Raw on USA had a 2.51 cable rating, with a 1.83 in M18-49, a 1.99 in M18-34 and an average audience of 3.4 million viewers. Gerweck.net Those numbers don't make any sense. If there was an average of 3.4 million viewers the ratings would be higher than 3.4. |
