The older wrestlers are just more entertaining. This proves its not just the writing. As much as I didn't want to see triple h win...it was far better than roman reigns.

2.7 million viewers in that final hour, "fella"#StayInTouch
Change the title...it's lower now. 2.16. We ARE SO CLOSE TO that damn 1.9 rating we need to see for the CELEBRATION thread..high hopes it's soon#KliqedUp
According to your own logic of the champ being responsible for the rise/fall of ratings, Triple H brought ratings up. Whether they stay high is another question.
My own logic didn't include the Rock coming back and saving an abysmal show and getting ratings up. So when Blandy and Punk average 2.4s? That's on them. When Daniel Bryan gets 3.0 or better? That's on him. When Seth keeps getting 2.2s and 2.3s? That's on him. We'll see Cripple H's real worth in two weeks when the Rock isn't here to make things easy for the industry again. That's a true reality.
Not today TSC, not today. I'm in too good a mood to entertain this discussion.
Rock's segment had the highest ratings of the show. filed. understood. GOAT. #andstill
Man... lesbian honest.. they could make stars like they use to but they choose to allow this shyt to go on. The wrestlers they have and the ones before them had the ability to make people love the product as much as they do with the The Rock and the old days albeit not at that same level but near it. Its just a matter of control I suppose at this point. Rock was his cash cow that got away, so before he'll let another one go he'll knock the legs from under them like a folding table
nah. the wwe is aways trying to make a star out of their chosen ones & pet projects. they just fail alot.
their calling card for making stars was 95% wrestlers who were already big in other promotions. then came the era when they didnt do much of that and tried to build their own guys from the ground up. TRASH. and its no coincidence that the newfound excitement over their product over the course of the last few years - especially right now, is based around them trying to sign everybody up from other leagues.
the reason i stopped watching the wwe tv shows for years, is because their top stars were glorified midcarders. that whole cena/edge/orton/etc era was bad. plus triple h was/is still ALLLLL in the video. and theyve made champions out of legit bums like sheamus & the miz.
I forgot all about that special RAW last year being snowed in
That studio shyt was trill
they shouldve came back to philly & pennsylvania cuz we were snowed in AGAIN.

The only time this man loses is in a scripted sport 
Is Rock ever gonna fall off?
No.
shyt - at this point, that promo he cut back in the day about coming down the ramp with a walker when he's 80, might have been more prophesy than hyperbole

The Rock took to social media on Wednesday to talk up “big ratings” for his 26-minute segment on Monday’s Raw (January 25).
Rock’s segment drew the biggest audience of the show crossing over from the second to third hour.
Another big winner was A.J. Styles, whose Raw TV debut and match against Chris Jericho drew the second-biggest audience of the night within the three-hour Raw format.
The over-run featuring the TV main event and Fast Lane announcement then peaked again.
PWTorch has the minute-by-minute and quarter-hour ratings for the males 18-49 demographic looking inside Monday’s Raw…
– Raw averaged 1.02 million m18-49 viewers over the length of the show.
The segment traditionally gets a bump at the end of the show…
