figures to be between a 2.3 and 2.5 rating.

It's a bad rating, but a good rating considering the football rating.

It's a bad rating because it's the lowest in 15 years. There is ALWAYS going to be an excuse every week for every year, but at the end of the day if you aren't presenting a product that connects with the TV audience, there is no demand for them to watch your product. That goes for any television show.

The WWE could have had Sting show up and have a Gangnam Style dance off with the Undertaker and it still wouldn't have touched the Bears-Cowboys ratings. 16.6 million people like myself watched Tony Romo commit more turnovers than a cell phone company.

Isn't this system outdated or near obsolete when rating WWE Media anyways?

The three hours are a bad idea. I finally tried watching a full episode since they switched to this formula and I struggled to make it though the first hour. It got better later on but I kept switching the channel during the first half. Too much stupid comedy filler.

As someone who hates the Cowboys and struggled to make it through last night's Raw, I'm so sorry I missed that.

TV ratings are so outdated these days when so many people watch things online. That is certainly something WWE would benefit from. Between the official online places to view WWE programming, the non-official places, tivo/recordings of shows, overseas delayed viewings and so on, RAW is just being spread thin. They need a better way to total up their actual viewers to better inform investors and advertisers.

The thing to keep in mind with TV ratings is that they're proportional, like this portion of the TV audience was watching this show. This helps keep things more consistent/relevant. About the same share of the TV audience watched Raw last night as were watching Raw in 1995. The days of Tell Me a Lie (say that you won't go...).

I've come to find in the last few weeks that 3-Hour RAW is almost impossible to sit through without DVR.

I said it last week and i'll say it again. Get ready for Cena to break sammartino's record. Wasn't his only appearance of the show in the lowest rated hour last week or something?

The MNF game with the Bears/Cowboys did a 11.6, which was up 45% from last year's Monday night week 4 game. No one else on cable was going to have a chance to a get much of a share. Didn't Raw go up against a game with a higher rating and still pull a better rating than this before?

So, debates do not equal ratings? What a shock!

Mr. McMahon, Bonnie Hammer on the line... and she's not happy. To which Vince could say "Well it was your idea to go to three hours, Bonnie."

It's hard, from the outside, to measure the value of a higher rating v. the millions they're getting from USA to do the third hour. There's some low level where it becomes not worth it, I guess, but nobody has any idea what that is.

I was thinking a 2.6. I knew it was a tough matchup, especially with Chicago and Dallas (two top ten markets) on MNF. Add the fact that it was an incredibly boring show with seemingly no direction, and you get ratings like this. I found myself waiting for the show to end.
