In the segment-by-segment, they opened with the second strongest segment of the show, with the Paul Heyman, C.M. Punk, Brad Maddox and A.J. segment at 2.99. Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler lost 262,000 viewers. Santino Marella & Zack Ryder vs. Titus O’Neil & Darren Young lost 295,000 viewers to a 2.59 quarter and that was still in the first hour so it wasn’t burnout. T he Mick Foley/C.M. Punk segment at 9 p.m. gained 877,000 viewers which is one of the best growth segments in weeks and did a 3.22 quarter. Miz vs. Ryback and the Harry Met Sally segment in the diner lost 533,000 viewers. Wade Barrett vs. Tyson Kidd and the Jerry Lawler interview stayed even. I’d suggest that’s probably a combo of a big loss for Barrett vs. Kidd and a big gain back for the Lawler promo but don’t have that broken down. Alberto Del Rio & David Otunga & Ricardo Rodriguez vs. Sheamus & Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara lost 129,000 viewers. That was at the 10 p.m. mark and did a 2.75 quarter, so the three hour show has really done a number on people tuning in at 10 p.m. The third Bryan & Kane segment and the attack on Bryan & Kane by Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow lost 412,000 viewers and did a 2.45 quarter. They probably were going down anyway at that point given it’s a three hour show, but three segments of that was one too many at best and that’s among the worst Raw quarters in 15 years. Well, until the quarter with Layla & Alicia Fox vs. Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres and Brodus Clay vs. Tensai, which lost 34,000 viewers and did a 2.43. The final segment with John Cena, C.M. Punk and Paul Heyman gained 428,000 viewers to a 2.74, which obviously is a terrible overrun and the growth wasn’t good for that segment. So... Mick Foley = ratings?

It seems like every week the Bryan/Kane segments do badly.

It seems like every week the Bryan/Kane segments do badly. It's the damnedest thing... Live crowds and Internet crowds love it, but it's just not clicking with TV crowds. Go figure that when the football gets worse because of new referees, more people watch.

Man, the 10 PM hour was absolutely abysmal! Cena, Punk, & Heyman couldn't even gain half a million viewers? That is sad.

I really wish there could be a ratings system more accurate than the Nielsen ratings (which goes by a small amount of households with a Nielsen box, who are supposed to represent every facet of society).

The third hour is consistantly awful, maybe not so much in quality but in name recognition value. Their biggest spots right now are the open, the 9PM slot, and the overrun. There's about 1:40 in between the last two spots.
I think this 3 hour thing is more or less doomed to fail, because they ARE opening up the show to more of the roster, and it's failing. They haven't invested enough in these guys for people to care, and now basically getting their own quarters, they're obliterating the ratings.
Remember how Punk's quarters were dying on the very limited 2 hour supershows? LOL, some of these spots are so bad now, he's getting good numbers.

Whats there to watch? It's essentially the same show we've been watching for a couple of months with minor plot deviations

The game did 16.17 million viewers Replacement refs = ratings. We'll never get rid of them. Well I do look forward to seeing what they'll screw up next. It's kind of entertaining.

Doesn't matter to me, and really it only matters in terms of advertising revenue, nothing more. I'm sure there is a way that ratings could be measured from every television by cable providers, but I'd rather have inaccurate ratings and keep my privacy intact.

^ It only matters to me because WWE has been known to change direction or stop pushing a guy as much if the ratings for their segments are consistently bad.

When the Funkasaurus's entrance started around 10:40 est...that was a deflating moment. It usually is anyway, but it's not as bad in the first hour. They really need to keep the last hour of the show hot for more of a payoff for watching the whole show. 10:40? Has Brodus Clay taken the place of the late Umaga as being the mascot of the 10:40 Club?

pretty sure ppl are tired of Punk/Cena...and Punk appearing in THREE long segments, talk about overkill
also, anybody who's not a main event star is not a draw at all, according to DA RATINGZ

They're at a point now where I think they're just going to have to eat a bowl of cement, harden up and just ride through these low ratings until they build some people up into consistent TV draws.
