Raw 04/22 edition: Deadman inc returns to Raw

[Rain]

I've liked Ryback for a while now, was rooting for him in the Rumble this year. Kinda wishing he'd just be a guy who doesn't like John Cena rather than being full on heel.

I mean, Ryback has a point and a reason not to like Cena anymore.

Commentators saying Ryback's whining now though.

Breh anybody that's not the Rock that challenges Cena's actions is whining according to King

 

[Jackson LeRoy Briggs]

It's one of the most idiotic things we've seen said at the end of promos in recent years but he actually thinks that shyt is legit. It's amusing on that alone

that's the beauty of it

Ryback's whole gimmick is that he acts retarded and dont give a fukk. The head slaps and gestures look stupid as fukk but he just runs with it.

In a dark match that took place after Tuesday's WWE SmackDown tapings from London, England, The Undertaker defeated Dean Ambrose via submission with Hell's Gate.

Why does everyone in this company get magically better when they turn heel

Heels nowadays generally have more room to show charisma, and have more of a detailed character, compared to the generic happy clappy faces.

how is it any worse than "i'm the miz and i'm awesome"

 

[Honga Ciganesta]

Has D-Bry ever faced Ambrose in the Indys?

They had a cool match in HWA when Danielson was fired for a while, might be the non DGUSA match Jmare007 is thinking about:



EDIT: It finally posted Tried to get that damn vid up around 12 times yesterday

Fans were chanting Miz is Awesome during his push though.

Even though taped, Raw was up slightly from last week as the 4/22 show did a 3.13 rating and
4.40 million viewers. Most likely the increase was due to Undertaker doing his first match on
Raw since 2010.
The show did a 2.6 in male teens (up 30%), 2.6 in Males 18-49 (same as previous week), 1.2
in Girl teens (up 33%) and 1.0 in Women 18-49 (same as previous week). The audience was
68.6% male.
Raw was the highest rated show on cable for the night, with its key competition being the
Chicago Bulls vs. Brooklyn Nets NBA playoff game head-to-head which did a 2.38 rating and
2.99 million viewers.
In the segment-by-segment, the show opened at a 3.04 rating for the segment with Paul
Heyman and HHH to set up the cage match. R-Truth vs. Antonio Cesaro lost 163,000
viewers. Brodus Clay vs. Damien Sandow, and a Dolph Ziggler, A.J., Vickie Guerrero and
Brad Maddox backstage segment gained 153,000 viewers. Chris Jericho vs. Ziggler gained
439,000 viewers which is strong growth these days, doing a 3.35 at the 9 p.m. mark. Cody
Rhodes vs. Tensai lost 224,000 viewers. Big E Langston vs. Zack Ryder lost 139,000 viewers.
Undertaker & Kane & Daniel Bryan vs. The Shield gained 581,000 viewers, which was strong
growth, doing a show high 3.50 quarter at 10 p.m.

Fandango vs. William Regal lost 949,000
viewers to a 2.83 quarter. More people tuned out in this segment (basically they lost one out
of every five viewers) than nearly any in recent years. This shows the difference between the
disconnect of a cult TV audience and the real viewing audience and also the big picture
impact of a cult thing on television, not to say that in time this won’t change, but it does give
you the real perspective of where it is now.

The Divas Battle Royal gained 302,000 viewers.
The in-ring Mick Foley, Ryback, John Cena and The Shield final segment gained 548,000
viewers in the overrun, which is good but not great, finishing at a 3.43 overrun.


You hipsters and euro cacs couldn't save that boy Johnny Curtis from flopping hard

Cesaro would never lose half the audience

Switch it up Cokey Boy

 

[R=G]

Fandango=Channel change?

 

[ML29]

Fandango=Channel change?

it would seem that way. The Song is the big phenomenon not him. also he was facing regal (who never wins on WWE TV) so people probably changed the channel because they knew it would be a meaningless squash match.

What kind of reaction did he get? something else got my attention instead of RAW that night, and i'm far too lazy to wait for the repeat to show tonight.

I think Taker knows the future of the WWE was in that 6 man, and it was a way of tripping his cap to them. (Ambrose, Reigns, Rollins, Bryan). Then the match on SD dark match with Ambrose, that's the real tip of the cap.

A Taker co-sign is golden, you get that and you're spot is on lock
