Does anyone know what rating Raw had for the December 6th 2004 edition where the main event was Trish Stratus defending the Women's Championship against Lita? I've always been curious to know if the episode and segment could be considered a success (stronger or on par ratings) or a failure (weaker than normal).

Hmm, what happened on April 6 1998 that generated such interest?

Hmm, what happened on April 6 1998 that generated such interest? That was either the Monday after Wrestlemania or the episode where the Undertaker successfully sticks five pool cue balls in his mouth. That lasted two segments.

It was the Raw the week after Mania, which makes the ratings quite strange as it was only after Mania that the ratings shot up.

JR's editorial after Taker stuck the cue balls in his mouth was glorious, I'll never forget it. It's just too bad that they can never show it again.

Well...that and the Steve Blackman sexual fantasy skit where he talks about how women in fishnet stockings makes his kendo stick rock hard.

Seven minutes of moaning, then crying, then a two out of three falls match with Flash Funk.

Weren't Stan Hansen and Kenta Kobashi there as well? They were promptly buried by the Spanish Announce team if I remember correctly.

This Raw included the "shoot" promo from Mick Foley about the fans chanting Steve Austin's name the week before as Foley and Funk we're getting beaten by DX. The show also included Steve Austin coming out in a suit as a "corporate champion", ripping it off, and punching Vince in the balls. The card for this event is awful. DX vs DOA as the main event, plus such memorable matches as Dan Sevrn vs Flash Funk and Luna vs Matt Knowles. This got better ratings than recent Raw's? It goes to show you that when the product is hot, anything will draw.

Was that the same night that apparently after the camera's stopped rolling, Austin and Vince had a 40 minute strong style classic?

Seems like a good reason for ratings to jump.

Seems like a good reason for ratings to jump. It still doesn't explain why the rating for the night after Wrestlemania didn't shoot up as well and it does seem strange that Austin winning the Royal Rumble and his feud with HBK didn't move the rating, but it was him being champion and being corporate champion (as thegame415 mentioned) that did.
