Ratings Winners and Losers 2013

His statement after looking over the Summer dataset is quite hilarious.

With a larger dataset, I would feel more confident about drawing conclusions from this last part. Right now, I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader, so they can twist it to prove whatever point best fits their narrative.1/28/2014 -- Addendum

It's almost as if he posts on the coli

Now, when I shared the preliminary version of this research with Bryan Alvarez on the Live 1/27 WO Call-In show, he challenged me to only look at the 2013 results from SummerSlam onwards. Unfortunately, this drastically reduces our dataset, but here's the sketchy outline of what that would suggest:

Interesting.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

When they say AJ runs RAW... they meant into the ground..

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

So this should also kill all that naomi fandom and that aj lee rums blah blah ahit since it was thought she got ratings but she doesn't

 

[Jackson LeRoy Briggs]

it's very telling that so many non-white wrestlers are on that losers list, now we know how the WWE fanbase really feels

 

[Silkk]

That losers list though

You see that huh

It's about the position on the card. The WWE audience is conditioned to watch the opening, 9'oclock hour, 10'clock hour and the overrun. Basically, these numbers don't mean anything beyond who is receiving the air time and in what placement. the USOs, for example, were often in tag matches in shytty timeslots. The casual viewer knows its a "whatever" tag match and will switch over to football, etc.. instead. If the Usos are all of a sudden in matches that open up the show, their numbers look far different.

I'll let y'all cook though

That's why Orton's position is so funny

Big Show is interesting though

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

That's why Orton's position is so funny

Big Show is interesting though

until you look at his position when he was placed on the card in those spots

John Cena 323,600 229,500

so, miss me with that bs. ORTON is attracting MORE VIEWERS THAN THE SHIELD and JOHN CENA with the title.

 

[CJ]

Big Show is interesting though

Coat tailing those final segments with Bryan/Authority when he was week in and week out.

@ Goldust though

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Brad Maddox about to get that singles push.

Big Show haters looking mighty foolish right now.

Randy Orton at the bottom of the first list and under Goldust on the second.

HHH
