OFFICIAL RAW IS RYBACK THREAD STARRING CM PUNK FEAT. VINCE MCMAHON AND PAUL HEYMAN (10/15/2012)

Originally Posted by St. Jimmy WWE Raw on Monday, October 15 scored a 2.79 rating, which was essentially flat with a 2.78 rating last week. The standard two-hour rating was a 2.78 rating, reflecting another poor third hour performance. - Raw averaged just under four million viewers with an average of 3.99 million viewers for all three hours, which was down three percent from last week. Again, the third hour trailed off, reflecting shifting viewing habits to 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. EST, with a drop-off during the 10:00 to 11:00 hour + over-run. Hourly Break Down: 4.07 million first hour viewers, 4.01 million second hour viewers, and 3.89 million third hour viewers. The third hour included the big "decision" on C.M. Punk's WWE Title opponent at Hell in a Cell preceded by filler segments. Raw did not show any gains despite ESPN's Monday Night Football game down nine percent to the lowest viewership since Week 1 of the NFL season. - On cable TV Monday night, Raw ranked #3 in overall viewers behind the NFL and "Major Crimes" on TNT, which continues to win the Monday Night Battle against Raw. In key male demos, Raw ranked #2 behind football. In the week-to-week demos, Raw was essentially even with last week's show, except for males 18-34, which creeped up to a three-week high. Within the actual Raw show, males 18-49 remained steady throughout without a third-hour drop-off, which is encouraging news. Vince and Ryback are killing Raw quickly.

Friggen CM Punk is gonna send this company to the poor house. THE RYBACK is our only hope.

I think Punkk's reign has proven that Indie wrestling blows and those guys should pick to their fast food jobs.
