That's cool. But make no mistake about it..wrestling took a BIG HIT Monday Night and we are a long way from seeing anything close to a recovery anytime soon. There was something going on with Cesaro before he left television and I don't think that's going anywhere soon but we'll see. You don't find those kind of connections with crowds out of nowhere. Fans kind of laughed at Ambrose trying to fight Lesnar and talking hard. When Heyman put over Lesnar and tried to use Bryan as a name to put Face Lesnar and Suplex City over? Crowd booed his ass out of the arena. He's just a different level.

The only thing that has taken a hit is the Raw ratings since HBK retired. They've broken 3.5 since his retirement about the same amount of times they broke 3.5 during the build of Shawn/Taker II. A dozen or so times. That's six years versus 4 months.

Time will tell if Bryan or the lack thereof has this kind of impact.

The buyrates in 2013 compared to any Michaels 96 run proved that a lifetime ago. And Shawn is basically a forgotten relic and it's only been 6 years. 3.5s weren't for Shawn Michaels...he ain't never ever generated rating segments like that in his entire run.

well actually he did

he was doing 4+ for his title win in 1996. even when nwo was kicking ass, he still was regularly doing better than Bryan's speech.

Notice nobody chanting "one more match" at Bryan. They drowned Shawn out with that kinda shyt. Bryan is a fad, and Shawn is forever in the WWE.

HAHAHAHA...Shawn got some of the worst ratings in history opposite the Nwo. Didn't it fall to like upper 1s at one point? Hideous.

He wasn't selling out arenas and damn sure wasn't as mainstream as Bryan. Nowhere near:laugh: When Shawn retired, it didn't make HALF the impact we saw from all of those outlets on Monday. Come on:laugh:

Bryan was forced to retire. Of course it was going to be covered more. Shawn planned and executed his retirement exactly how he wanted it to be. It wasn't salacious or controversial. Doesn't change the fact that more people cared to tune in to Shawn's.

I mean hell, Fox News covers Marco Rubio like he's the chosen one, yet Donald Trump has beaten him twice in a row. The media doesn't dictate anything.

Did you not read my post WHICH IS THE OP that does have the rating with FULL OVERRUN and has been reported a couple times ALONG WITH QUOTED with your response

Not what I meant. We don't know if Bryan's overrun popped or lowered the third hour because they include the full overrun in it which started way after the show usually goes off into the usual third hour which is lower most weeks anyway. You can see the first two hours higher than usual and I don't think that was because HHH is champ.
