Incase you haven't heard Raw's ratings slipped to 3.4 for the past two weeks! Raw normally averages around 3.8-4.0. But Vince hasn't been happy with the ratings of Raw and the draft of several key superstars to raw was supose to be vince's quick fix. But instead ratings have dropped to the lowest in 10 years(since the monday night wars). Vince is apperently very stressed as The USA network wants hire ratings. Now I know this is pretty stupid thing to say but imagine if this week's TNA impact beat Raw in the Ratings. Vince whould have a heart attack. Or if Raw's ratings went down even futher into the 2.0's . What do you think?

Ratings are a funny thing. If I've learned anything from playing EWR (HAHAHAHA, all my wrestling financial expertise comes from EWR) it's that different networks draw different ratings. Right now TNA and UFC draw the majority of ratings for Spike. They're significantly small ratings, but considering the usual Spike programming ratings, they're extremely good. You could say, in a sense, that TNA is doing just as well with ratings as WWE given their station. TNA is in talks with Fox right now, which could mean bigger exposure, better advertisement, and more networks to show their programming. This could be a blow to WWE considering Fox programming like FX and local basic channels like Fox 48 or the CW's open the door to a whole new demographic for people who can't afford cable or don't want to buy anything more than basic. This isn't going to put WWE out of business, but it may lead to a drop in some WWE ratings if TNA, someday puts on a competing show with Raw.
As I said, they're still in talks, so this could mean that TNA's going to stay with Spike, but even if, they're still in line for the fabled 2 hour time slot in the fall.

If that woulda happen we will actually have a new War! I'm sure if RAW's rating gets 2.0 or lower Vince would step it up a notch and bring the old Attitude Era and he will soon figure out that Cena is the guy that made that happen. IF Vince realized that Cena will never be champion and we are back to the good o'l Attitude Era! Man I would love to see Stephanie again!

it wouldnt matter if tna had a superior rating to wwe cos they r on different networks
however the wwe ratings r crashing especially after the benoit incident
i think wwe has to get back some of the old stars to improve its ratings
guys like goldberg, rock,austin, brock lesner, jericho
i mean the present rooster baring guys like HHH, HBK, undertaker and a few others dont have it in them to bring up the ratings
i think guys like Booker and cena and mysterio r best suited for a midcard push and they have to somehow bring back the top guys in the business like the tna have sting, steiner, angle, samoa joe etc for a single show and wwe has 3 shows and not enough talent

First of all: TNA's rating is 1.1-1.2.
Second, RAW is at its lowest rating in seven years. I doubt it will ever see 3.0.
Third, when Cena lost the title to Edge, RAW's rating went up seven-tenths of a point and was consistently in the 4-4.5 range.

Vince would call up Hogan so quick and beg the oldster to please come back to RAW and whatever he wanted he could get it.
