Dewar Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Darren Young = ratings. Start selling the DY hairpicks NOW!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 So basically, Ziggler + Shield good? Wyatt + Truth bad. Cody + Sandow bad? Young made a bit of difference. The show opened hot and it closed pretty well? I'm not sure how much of that is standard attrition since I don't pay attention every week though.

Brian Fowler Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Since going to three hours, the third hour had been seeing some fairly bad drop off, from what little attention I've paid. I'm surprised it only took 6 digits to measure the viewers lost by Rhodes/Sandow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I guess the biggest news is that Bryan's first night didn't bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzalez Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 He had Triple H, the McMahons, Cena, and Orton for his segments though. Let's see a Daniel Bryan segment rating when he just has Ziggler to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I would attribute a third-hour drop-off to bedtime for anyone under the age of 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newb82 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You actually have to fill out a booklet saying what you watched & when. At least that's what it was for friends of mine when Nielsen tried to get them to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 There's both. They send out the booklets for one week to randomly but demographically selected homes (my mom got one once when I was in high school) and then some homes are permanent nielsen homes, with a box hooked up to their tv that measures what they watch.

Brisco Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Of course Bryan's segments had Triple H, the McMahons and Orton. It is the number one story in the company. 95% of Bryan's future segments until the blowoff will have some combination of Triple H, the McMahons and Orton. And really does the ebb and flow of the rating really matter? Talk to me about ratings when RAW dips to 1.0, then they will have a glaring problem.

Punk's segment got the same rating as the last segment, and all he had was Heyman, and bland as toast Axel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzalez Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Held the title for a long ass time, had two of the best feuds that year(Punk/Cena, and Punk/McMahon), and had the best match that year(Punk/McMahon). All Bryan had was the lame Team Hell No comedy skits, and a little feud with Sheamus for the worthless mid-card World Title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 If you consider the theory that Punk lost 10 votes every time he did a flying elbowdrop instead of a missile dropkick, everything makes more sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrag Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Seriously, though... Punk/Henry, Punk/Cena, Punk/Vince and Punk/Cena: Raw version stack up favorably against Bryan's top end stuff from the timeframe. Add in the championship reign and how often they relied on him to fill up 30+ minutes of live TV, yeah, I think he definitely got screwed. Bryan's going to win this year and next year and the year after that. Last year was Punk's year and you bitches screwed him out of petty jealousy and spite!

Matt D Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I think the only chance he has at this point is if Gonzalez reveals to the world that he's been secretly acting against Punk all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Even there are only 100,000 boxes measuring what people watch.. isn't that a big enough sample to arrive fairly accurately at the total number of viewers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Even there are only 100,000 boxes measuring what people watch.. isn't that a big enough sample to arrive fairly accurately at the total number of viewers? A big enough sample, yes, but it's a bit self-selecting. Everyone had to agree to keep these boxes connected in perpetuity, meaning whatever percentage of people who had a problem doing that would go unrepresented. That sample can be partially (if not completely) examined by the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ok, so I don't understand how Darren Young gained viewers, since his match wasn't advertised ahead of time. Were there really people switching to Raw every ten minutes going, "Is that the gay dude? Nope?" and then clicking off until his match came up??
