Didn't last week have about the same rating? 3 point something, I think a 6?

I knew that football on Cable would impact Raw more than it did on the ABC. They deserved that rating too. What the HELL was thinking doing a damn Johnny Nitro promo in the first hour? A Johnny Nitro promo on 9/11 in NY? WTF?!

What the? Wrestling has always done terrible head-to-head with MNF, for years. This isn't shocking at all.

It always does. Especially in my house. But seriously, who cares what the ratings do?

Maybe Vince will realize that DX vs the McMahons DOES NOT DRAW and will end it after the PPV and think of good storylines. Nah, we're not that lucky

Laugh all you want, but the fact is Vince is proud of owning the Cable ratings.
With MNF now on ESPN, that won't happen. We should ALL hope that he views this as a challenge (which it is) and starts improving the product.

This is in two ways meaningless.
A) MNF is not a rival company in the sense that TNA or WCW are/were. It's a seperate form of sport that, while it has the same target audience, has a different appeal.
B) RAW is still the highest rated purely Entertainment show on Cable or very close to it. That is still an accomplishment to be proud of. It's really not a bad thing to say that you get beat by the biggest sport in the United States on it's premere night for a game.
Also, MNF is only for 17 weeks out of the year. The rest belongs to the WWE.
And I don't think any sane individual would or should say the WWE should try to go head to head with MNF. That's just retarded. The WWE just has to bite the bullet for the next 4 months and accept that they will have a lower rating and just try to maintain their 3.5-4 (which was better than they were pulling on Spike at some points a couple years ago).

How can MNF>WWE when the radiers are playing? I can understand Vikings/Redskins but the raiders suck badly.

But this still isn't good. I would say the same thing if WCW, The REAL ECW, and TNA were getting 4.0 and higher ratings throughout the year's, and through the Summer.

Did they show it on AFN or on a local German station? And for that matter, is American football big in Germany, as I assume it is on a military base? I've always been curious how things like that worked out in a situation like that.

Vince CAN NOT compete with football, sports entertainment vs sports, the real sports will always win (especially w/o the lack of kayfabe, to keep wrestling not so 'fake')
