You mean like the show not being advertised during reruns of Law and Order? Is that a legit reason or a phantom one, Erik?Punk/Heyman only did 117k...it was just an unwatched show and it actually was during that Hockey bullshyt. So there are legit reasons instead of the phantom ones that came out of blue during that long reign last year when people disappeared.
Sheamus & Christian vs. Cody Rhodes & Damian Sandow and Kaitlyn vs. Aksana lost 124,000 viewers. The A.J. Lee promo making fun of Kaitlyn and a replay of the Mark Henry/Cena angle plus a Wyatt Family vignette lost 198,000 viewers to a show-low 2.59 quarter.
Wasn't Punk losing viewers in the overrun last year? (or at least having worse gains?) and wasn't Meltzer all doom and gloom about his push for a long ass time until it was undeniable Punk was the 1B to Cena's 1A?
I guess we'll have to wait till Summerslam, bros :cena:
Do you listen to Steve austin podcast ? He was interviewing Jim Ross and asked him why was Vince Able to put the territories out of business , and his answer was pretty much because the old school owners wouldn't adapt . Vince saw the future and was able to do some innovative things ..... His descriptions of the old school owners sounded like how Vince is now , out of touch and Afraid of change .And then they call for the return of Batista.
These dudes need a shot, you need to build them as main eventers, it doesn't happen over night
Man don't start with this already . You always make excuses for dbry like people are saying ... Either he's carrying the show like you say or he's not .....that's what happens when you solely base arguments on numbers cause when they don't match up you have to make excuses .. Why can't you just enjoy dbry instead of acting like a wwe board memberPunk/Heyman only did 117k...it was just an unwatched show and it actually was during that Hockey bullshyt.

You really think ratings would be significantly different for these shows if The Rock was on every week? That's the biggest delusion of all.You tell me...when the fukk has this show been near a 4.0 since the leader of Team Bring It relieved pro wrestling fans from a terrorist reign that kept mediocrity and bad ratings at the top level? Rock goes away, a guy who is supposedly shot in the ring these days according TO the jealous and unknowing, and ratings sink again. Instantly. Without fail. Cena is on the show week after week and he's not carrying shytPunk is back and he's not bringing JACK shyt
Bryan has been getting stop and go booking for so long that no one knows what to make of his push overall but it's nowhere near 400 days of going over the roster and not losing on television for months at a time and being protected to no end. Nothing even in the same ballpark. If 70 year old men want to panic over a 4 week push, what does that tell you about the industry and the obsession to keep the same 4 b*stards on top as always?

That's one of the lowest overrun numbers I've ever seen. At least since I started following these Nielsen numbers. But pushing a new guy takes time. And putting him with Orton (who's been proven to be Nielsen poison) probably had something to do with that low number as well. If he's still getting these low overruns in 3 months with people not named Randy Orton, it might be time to panic. Punk not only had better numbers, but he was also wildly over in arenas and was neck and neck merch sales-wise with Cena. Bryan's just arena over. Fickle WWE writers can take that away at a whim (or at least try really, really hard to do so).
It might help if they didn't make his character increasingly unlikeable though. Just a thought.

Most people just let that go because Hunter came on later and said vince's comments were dumb because the fans wanted to see bryan wrestle so the match went on. I guess you could chalk it up to Vince being the heel in this power struggle feud with HHH.I believe it
Vince shytted on Bryan during RAW, I'm surprised nobody is talking about it. there was an exchange between he and Vickie that went something like
"you know, some people believe Daniel Bryan is an embarrassment to the WWE"
"well what do you believe, Mr. McMahon?"
"I'll let you be the judge of that..."
