There was one week where an OtungaCutty/Lawler segment gained. It happen. Its not an anomaly, its just how it is. I'm pretty sure Lawler's segments are always highly rated.

Just putting Championships on Punk/Bryan/Ryder and having them wrestle a six man tag against poorly booked chicken s*** heels isn't going to pop a big rating, so that isn't surprising. I think if the storylines were better, the ratings would be better. What storyline is Punk really involved in right now that grabs you by the balls and makes you watch? What heated feud is he really involved in that will make viewers tune in every week in droves? And how could Daniel Bryan winning the World Heavyweight Championship pop a big rating and make Bryan a draw when up until he won the belt, he was booked like a bitch and the focus was on Henry/Show? That's the problem with the MITB concent in general when the guy who cashes in isn't booked like a star BEFORE he cashes it in, the way Edge was when he was the first MITB winner, or RVD, when his MITB win was used as a storyline to promote the second ECW reunion PPV, thus making RVD look like a big deal. It's great that we have new guys in the main event picture, but we also need them in the writing room too. Yep. Great post.

Why aren't people talking about the MNF game? The game got delayed halfway and then came back towards the end of Raw. I'm surprised that got such a huge number itself when it was out for a good hour. I think that might have had some effect on the Raw ratings. I doubt it was much because I don't care about ratings regardless, but it's just another theory.

For some reason anytime they stumble across an potentially 7 suns hot angle(Nexus,Punk leaves wwe) they always destroying it,Almost as if they don't want to succeed or generate any new fans
