Daniel Bryan = Ratings

[TNC]

Ehhhh punks mic skills though are so much further than dbrys, while their ringwork is closer than their mike work . Cm punk has stole all the major ppvs

Honestly, I think I might argue the inverse. DBry is so much cleaner in the ring than Punk and I don't think Bryan's mic work is weak by any means. And honestly, DBry has been killing it on a weekly basis from RAW to Smackdown more than Punk has even been wrestling this year

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Punk's mic work is miles ahead of Bryan's. Bryan still struggles on promos, he just has a lot of charisma. Punk is long winded at times but for the most part coherent. I wouldn't want to see Bryan carry a 15 or 20 minute promo.

Punk's mic work is great but its a lil overrated. Let's not act like he wasn't almost as bland as Cena is during his face run as champ, or how he didn't have a single great promo during his run unless he was going against another great mic worker like Cena or "shooting". CM Punk brings a lot of passion, but quite often he tends to ramble because he just likes hearing his own voice. Bryan doesn't have as many "styles" as Punk on the mic, but he sticks to what he knows and does it well. And most people period can't carry constant 20 minute promos, even Punk has faulted in this area before.

Here's the breakdown by the way, high points bolded for your convenience

In the segment-by-segment, the first segment with John Cena, Daniel Bryan and Stephanie McMahon opened with a strong 3.4 rating. Cody Rhodes vs. Damien Sandow lost about 530,000 viewers. The Paul Heyman interview next stayed even. Cameron & Naomi vs. A.J. Lee & Layla lost about 135,000 viewers. Dolph Ziggler vs. The Shield gained about 500,000 viewers at 9 p.m., a strong gain to a 3.3. Alberto Del Rio vs. Sin Cara stayed even, which is really good in that slot. Sin Cara has often over performed as a ratings draw but at this point that doesn’t matter because he’s done. The Prime Time Players vs. Antonio Cesaro & Jack Swagger gained about 250,000 viewers to a 3.5 quarter. Considering who was in the match and it’s not at the normal top of the hour growth period, this absolutely says that the Darren Young story led to people telling people to tune in. It probably played a small part in the rating of the show just with all the mainstream talking about it because that was an abnormal jump for guys of that level in that slot. Big Show vs. The Shield lost about 265,000 viewers. The C.M. Punk promo with Paul Heyman and the Punk vs. Curtis Axel brawl gained about 400,000 viewers to a strong 3.6, tying the high point of te show at 10 p.m. Bray Wyatt vs. R-Truth lost 550,000 viewers. The Usos vs. Heath Slater & Jinder Mahal lost another 265,000 viewers. The Miz vs. Wade Barrett gained about 135,000 viewers. The big angle in the main event slot with the McMahons, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, the long HHH promo and The Shield all involved gained about 670,000 viewers to a 3.6.

Punk is the best worker on the stick right now. Being said though, his work is totally reliant on a gimmick; which can be heavy risk or heavy reward. The problem is Punk talks like a 'tough guy' but sometimes looks flab nasty. Sometimes too Punk looks like a angsty teenager. The Brock Promo was short, sweet to destroy punk. Serious, do I think Punk could take out BROCK? Nuh, never going to happen but it was a good match.

Daniel Bryan really has no gimmick on the stick, so it's easier for people to All he needs to do is express his emotions, and tell you to knock your shyt off else he is going Bowflex the shyt out of your neck or now FLYING KNEE you under the nose. It generic, generically not having the ability to pull something in like a gimmick promo. If Bryan was 6'3" he be the reaching the edge of the universe. You look at Bryan's body, he isn't muscular but the dude looks like fukkin pitbull. That diet of his has left more bulk that fat, so if he nailed you legitly with a knee you gonna die.

The simplicity behind Bryan's character is what makes it work and why I give him the nod over Punk, ever so slightly. Punk's character wouldn't work against people not willing to "play his game". I used to remember how slick talking characters like even a prime rapping Cena would get owned by the goofy face Kurt Angle on the mic because he would make their character look foolish then stretch them out in the ring because at the end of the day he could back up any talk. Bryan has a lot of the same intensity yet goofiness in his character and he just gives a stronger air of credibility.

A weird way to misspel "Randy Orton"
I quit watching wwe a month ago, but as far as i concerned he is the champion.

They had Bryan bullying Big Show for months...I don't think people really understand how comical that was. He was destroying Big Show in those matches...Big Show would throw him to the ropes and he would drop kick his leg out. And kick him down like 10x to make sure he never got back up..lol. He had a slick counter for all of that Big Show offense shyt....kind of the same thing with Mark Henry too. And then he started kicking Ryback's ass for like 80% of their matches...haha.....Kane is the only one with size that halfway gets alot of offense in on Bryan. There was that Elimination Chamber match that was built on the story that Big Show had enough but that was it. Punk can't do any of that stuff...he can't control a match with the Big Show like Bryan is. It's two different levels of performers. The A+ performer and the B performer.

WWE Raw Quarter-Hour Ratings Trends 8/26

- BIG WINNERS: C.M. Punk-Paul Heyman, Daniel Bryan Gauntlet, A.J. Lee promo.

The latest teaser for C.M. Punk getting his hands on Paul Heyman generated the highest-rated quarter-hour rating of this week's Raw episode.

WWE's latest version of Daniel Bryan running the gauntlet also delivered again, scoring nearly an identical rating in Q8 among the key demographic of males 18-49.

The over-run - with the conclusion of Bryan's gauntlet vs. The Shield and tension rising for someone to help D-Bryan - then jumped to the highest over-run rating since we began tracking the m18-49 quarter-hour demos in May.

Specific Numbers: 2.39 m18-49 rating for the Punk-Heyman teaser in Q5, 2.38 rating for the Bryan Gauntlet in Q8, and 2.83 rating for the over-run (vs. 2.75 rating over-run last week).

The remainder of this week's Raw hovered in the middle-ground of a 2.0-2.2 rating.

Within the quarter-hours, it's worth noting that A.J. Lee's brief "worked shoot" promo on "Total Divas" drew the most-watched minute of the show prior to the over-run segment.

Raw Ratings Flow in M18-49 by Supreme Savings">Demo

- OVERALL: 2.19 rating / 1.376 million viewers

- Q1: Raw opened with a 2.16 rating for 15 minutes of an uninterrupted promo segment involving Triple H, Daniel Bryan, and Randy Orton.

- Q2: Raw increased to a first-hour-high 2.19 rating for a five-minute conclusion to the promo segment, one commercial, Cody Rhodes vs. Fandango, and half of a commercial.

The increase came from the five-minute promo conclusion. Within Q1 and Q2, Raw increased from 1.2 million to 1.3 million to 1.4 million to 1.5 million to 1.6 million in Q1, then finished with 1.7 million at 8:18 p.m. EST when the segment concluded.

When the segment concluded at 8:21 p.m., a big chunk of viewers bailed to "American Pickers" on History. During the first hour, "Pickers" drew the most viewers away from Raw, followed by a "Duck Dynasty" re-run on A&E.

- Q3: On the other side of the break, Raw dipped to a show-low 1.97 rating for Rhodes & Miz vs. Fandango & Damien Sandow, backstage segments, and one-and-a-half commercials.

- Q4: Raw stayed at a show-low 1.97 rating for the first-half of C.M. Punk vs. Curtis Axel and two full commercial breaks. During the last break, another chunk of viewers bailed to "American Pickers."

- Q5: Raw jumped 21.3 percent to a 2.39 rating at the top of the second hour for the teaser of Punk getting his hands on Paul Heyman, the extended beat down on Punk that went until 9:12 p.m. EST, and one commercial at the end of the segment.

Peak viewership was 1.692 million viewers at 9:07 p.m. The segment then concluded with 1.690 million viewers at 9:10 p.m.

At the top of the hour, Raw got chunks of viewers from Duck Dynasty, American Pickers, and Real Housewives of OC once those shows concluded.

- Q6: Raw began sliding with a 2.16 rating for Brie Bella vs. Natalya, A.J. Lee's post-match "worked shoot" promo on the "Total Divas" show, and one commercial.

However, within the segment, A.J.'s promo popped to 1.731 million viewers at 9:23 p.m., then 1.770 million viewers at 9:24 p.m.

- Q7: Raw dipped again to a 2.13 rating for another round of Alberto Del Rio vs. Rob Van Dam, plus one commercial.

Notable in Q7 was a significant chunk of viewers (96,000) coming over from "Lizard Lick Towing"
at 9:31 p.m. This contributed to TruTV being the second-largest contributor of viewers to Raw during the second hour.

- Q8: Raw dipped to a second-hour-low 2.05 rating for backstage interview segments and two full commercial breaks, "bringing the crowd down" from the second hour action.

There was one minute where Raw popped to 1.717 million viewers for Heyman and Curtis Axel's backstage interview before getting in their car and leaving.

- Q9: At the top of the third hour, Raw actually declined again to a 2.04 rating for WWE champion Randy Orton vs. Christian.

Compared to the Top of the Second Hour, Raw did not draw in a significant number of new viewers in the Top of the Third Hour. The top source was 17,000 viewers from "General Hospital."

- Q10: Raw stopped the ratings slide with a 2.10 rating for the final few minutes of Orton-Christian, Daniel Bryan's post-match paint-job backstage, one commercial, and Triple H & Orton surveying the paint-job after the break.

The final few minutes of Orton-Christian redeemed the meat of the match in Q8, as the finish of the match popped to 1.632 million viewers, which easily topped the Q9 segment and anything else in Q10.

- Q11: Raw dipped to a 2.07 rating for Titus O'Neil vs. Jack Swagger, a Wyatts vignette, and two full commercial breaks.

The only notable movement of the third hour was 48,000 viewers bailing to "Baseball Tonight" on ESPN from 10:42 to 10:43 p.m. during the second commercial break of the hour.

- Q12: Raw jumped 15 percent to 2.38 rating for Bryan vs. Seth Rollins and one mid-match commercial.

- Over-Run: Raw jumped 18.9 percent to a 2.83 over-run rating for the end of Bryan-Rollins, Shield jumping Bryan to cancel out the rest of the gauntlet, and the show-closing angle with Triple H holding back the roster from helping Bryan.

Included were the most-watched minutes of the show with 1.790 million viewers at 11:03 p.m., then 1.877 million viewers at 11:04 p.m., and 1.788 million viewers at 11:05 p.m. when Raw signed off.

At the start of the over-run, Raw gained 37,000 viewers from "Basketball Wives," then a steady trickle of viewers tuned in from other shows during the remainder of the over-run.

Is it bad that I still dont care about ratings even though one of my favorites is bringing them in?
