So I guess Batista = ratings. NOT!
Can't blame it on the World Series nor Monday Night Football. Best get the belt back on Jericho quick!

Talk about being caught with egg on your face.
I bet Vince and his butt buddies, Paterson and Briscoe, are pulling what little hair they have left out of their heads

Time for a new direction-HIRE RUSSO!
Him and Vince did wonders in the 90s, it's the only way.

Well, yeah! Batista's going to need a legitimate threat to make his championship reign even the least bit interesting. Batista and Jericho just don't have that chemistry together. Granted, they've cut good promos. But good promos can only get you so far.
Batista has had so very good battles with Triple H and Undertaker, so he CAN put on a great show, but like everyone else, he needs to be booked properly! For fuck's sake, bring in one of your powerhouses (Kane or Mark Henry would be best) and put Batista in jeopardy. It's just no fun when you know the champion is going to breeze through the match before the bell even rings. I mean, the reason Jeff Hardy Vs. Triple H was so good was because it actually appeared that Jeff could dethrone the king. That's the kind of feud Batista needs to get into!

I hope WWE fails l9ol lol lol omg if it falls, tna falls with it and no more wrestlig pawned ftw epic sell or is it fail? OMG SO FUNNI
Fucking morons. I swear, some of you need to stick with middle school or this world is fucked. We have to support WWE and hope the numbers go up, this way TNA can also benefit. If WWE falls, don't be idiotic enough to believe TNA would fill the role, it would go down with it. Morons.

Oh gee...2.89. rounded to 2.9 - what was the rating last week?
2.9
So if Batista can't draw as champion...neither can Chris Jericho.
So fuck off Batista-haters.

and speaking of failure, how high have TNA's ratings gotten with Jarrett, Foley, Sting, Angle, Joe, and...well...let's just say their entire roster?
oh...right...i forgot that this the time for the TNA marks to feel all superior because Raw has fluctuating that are still almost 3 times that of iMPACT.
seriously, some of you need to stay on your ritilin.

I'm not going to bash WWE or TNA. There is no excuse for this rating like Monday Night Football, World Series, Presidential debate etc... The FACT is that most people are just not that interested in wrestling anymore. We are the diehards and watch no matter what. It has nothing to do with who is the champ. Wrestling no longer appeals to the mainstream casual fan, accept it.

It's official. CM Punk as Champ = ratings (or at least above 3.0 ratings XD)

I love how the TNA botz bash this ~2.9 rating.
Especially when you all get slightly above that in a three week combined span.
I'll tell you...I'll take a 2.8 every single week, as opposed to a 3.3 every three weeks combined.
XD

Sarcasm rant on
OMG Another 2.9 rating. It is over. WWE is going to go out of business forever. No more Raw. No more Smackdown. No more Wrestlemania. All you WWE marks will soon either have to watch TNA or quit watching wrestling altogether because all you will have is TNA with Don West as the announcer and Vince Russo as one of the writers. The world will be a better place with TNA being the ONLY game in town. RIP WWE.
Sarcasm rant off.
I have a feeling that that is what we are going to get from the TNA fanboys any day now.
PS: Raw was actually a good show with 2 great matches, a decent women's match and a so so main event. Those who say it wasn't a good show are the whiny little crybabies who will bash ANYTHING WWE does even if it was good.

To compare WWE ratings to TNA as some measure of success is absolutely ridiculous. WWE has much more money behind it, is far more recognizable and has a history of success.
I don't think you can blame this one on Batista. Don't get me wrong, the guy is awful, but ratings have been in this range for a few months, and in a downward spiral for a while.
I was watching the Rock's DVD last week and it hit me how mediocre wrestling has become. The WWE has never truly recovered from the loss of The Rock, Steve Austin and Mic Foley as regular wrestlers. In addition, the losses of Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, Christian, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho (temporarily) really hurt the depth of the company. There are so many guys on the roster that I just have no interest in seeing - Batista, Randy Orton, Priceless, Kennedy, Mark Henry, Great Khali, Kozlov, Cryme Tyme, JBL, etc. The wrestlers I do enjoy watching are, for the most part, stuck in these awful storylines or doing nothing (see: Rey Mysterio, Matt Hardy, MVP). Getting 30 minutes of entertainment from a 2 hour show has become an achievement for the WWE. Once they address that problem, ratings will increase.

BH is right, WWE has money+history.
Stop apologizing for the ratings, or at least stop using football as an excuse. They got a 2.5 in JULY 2007.
