PWTorch.com - WWE NEWS: Raw TV ratings are in - Monday's show falls further back to mid-1990s levels
September 28: Monday's Raw scored a 2.33 rating, down from a 2.47 rating last week to establish a new historical low for Raw.
Raw has not been at this point since the mid-1990s before the ramp-up of the Monday Night Wars.
Particularly concerning is a steady drop-off in the key demographics against Monday Night Football, which drew a healthy 13.5 million viewers on ESPN, and against general Fall TV programming.
- Males 18-34: 2.03 rating on 8/31; 1.59 rating on 9/28.
- Males 18-49: 1.86 rating on 8/31; 1.68 rating on 9/28.
- Adults 18-49: 1.40 rating on 8/31; 1.13 rating on 9/28.
- Raw averaged 3.330 million viewers, down half-a-percent from last week's audience to establish a new year-low. The hourly break down followed the exact same pattern as last week...
Hourly Break Down: 3.476 million first hour viewers, decline to 3.326 million second hour viewers, and decline to 3.188 million third hour viewers.
- One year ago this week, Raw scored a 2.83 rating (five-tenths of a rating higher than this week's show). Two years ago this week, Raw scored a 2.68 rating.
Caldwell's Analysis: There has to be a change. Not a cosmetic one-week "change" like hot-shotting a bunch of title changes, but wholesale changes to try to set up for a rebound next year. It looks like they're in too deep of a hole with the current product to get back on-track this year against football. Sure, the Legends Night in October should help - presumably - but then it's back to the same thing in November when the part-timers go back on the shelf and the over-exposed, under-developed main roster stars try to fill three hours while the live crowd tries to stay engaged.

i mean do they just not care? they are at historical lows! LESS people are viewing their product than ever before!
someone help me understand this. are ratings just not that important to them? at what point do they as a company begin to panic?

Thats probably why they tried to load up everybody up for that Dallas Show. They still don't get longterm thinking tho
With Smackdown about to move to USA, Tough Enough having its worst ratings in the history of the show, and channels like Destination America and Spike dropping wrestling without hesitation, they have to be at least a little concerned.

I can only imagine Vince's descent into (more) madness right now.
"That Miz TV segment wasn't long enough. Next week will open the show!"
"We need Eva Marie on the main roster, pronto!"
"Put the wheels in motion for a Cena vs Strowman feud for the WWE title!"
"There's only one person responsible for the failure that is Lesnar vs Big Show... YOU, PAUL HEYMAN"
"Corporate Kane vs Masked Kane... Now that's revolutionary, goddammit"

You have Seth Rollins and Kane about to main event your PPV.
Your entire product from top to bottom is subpar.
I mean, hopefully they aren't jarred by the fact people are beginning to find other ways to waste time on Monday nights.
