So Jericho and Flair only managed a 0.1 increase?

That's fine, one or two guys short of a Rock/Hogan type aren't going to make the ratings have a big jump imo. Wrestling's popularity is in a "cooling off" period, and there likely isn't going to be anything that equals a big difference in the ratings besides a long string of consistently entertaining shows with intriguing storylines, and good action. Monday night was a step in the right direction, but there's still plenty to work on, and one or two good shows isn't going to turn things around. I don't think you can blame Jericho and Flair for the overall lack of interest in the product currently.

As said before one or two guys are not the solution to getting Raw big ratings, as I think WWE is satisfied with them as they are.

If they ran like TNA (Not trying to be a TNA mark), and had more wrestling and less segments, there may be more people watching. TNA at least has comical segments when they do it. WWE just has long, boring segments of complete kayfabed seriousness which comes off as really lame most of the time.
...and don't come back at me and say "How come TNA gets 1.1's every week then huh huh huh?" I'm not sure why.

So, do most people not realize that ratings increases are generally built up by putting on quality shows week in and week out? It's a slow build (or fall). WCW's ratings didn't shoot up overnight once the nWo was formed, nor did they plummet after every stupid mistake right away. Continued good decisions lead to higher ratings in the long run, while bad ones will slowly make them drop. Flair and Jericho performing well, on a regular basis should help ratings, but you don't gain 1 or 2 million viewers by going "Flair's gonna be here next week. Will he wrestle? Will he eat Cookie Crisp? Find out on RAW!"

It'll take a few months for the ratings to build back up to a 4. Even Steve Austin going bat-crap crazy every week in the late-90s only drew mid-3s.

I'm just saying that one person isn't going to change ratings dramatically overnight. I said Flair and Jericho performing well should HELP ratings, not cause them to go to 7.9s or anything. It's a combination of things.

Um...I found a different report
The first hour of Raw on Monday night scored a 3.41 rating, and the second hour did a 3.67 rating, for a final composite of 3.54 cable rating. The show had 5,060,000 viewers.
Gerweck.net
It's just a .1 but I still felt like posting this.

I laugh at everyone who thought Y2J was going to give Raw a 4.0.
When was the last time Raw went 4.0 or more?
