The Rock is a draw. One of the few ones left in wrestling. Not surprising.

So no one boycotted over Rock and Cena winning? Of course not, this is the IWC we never follow through with a boycott en masse. if we were the 19th Century Labor Movement, most people would now be working +100hr weeks at $5 a day.

Either Rock is a draw, or it's the initial interest of him winning the title. We'll see come next week...

It's sad that a 3.5 is reason to be excited...

Rock is the only guy the company has, except maybe Austin, who can really move the needle anymore. Triple H/Undertaker's segments last year were the highest rated ones in the Mania build IIRC

Rock isn't due back for a few weeks though is he? I think he's at most if not every Raw until 'Mania. The dates posted in another thread were from advertised appearances (incomplete listings) so he's pretty much guaranteed for all Raws and a fair few Smackdowns.

The dates posted in another thread were from advertised appearances (incomplete listings) so he's pretty much guaranteed for all Raws and a fair few Smackdowns. He really should be at every RAW till he loses the title. Well, that the 3rd hour stayed in the very high 4 millions was a good sign that the garbage segments didn't drive everyone away. Plus Brock coming back probably is going keep the viewers that were on the fence of watching next week. The week after Brock returned in 2012, which was right after WM 28, the numbers didn't budge at all. However, I think the combined factors of Rock being champion and Brock returning will keep the number up...

The rating may not go down next week, but it will eventually, once the novelty of Rock being champion and Brock returning has worn off. That's not due to lack of interest, but people won't be compelled to tune in every Monday (not when YouTube and Dailymotion exist) once this stops being event-worthy.

In retrospect, Punk was really killing them in the ratings.
