Awwwww yah like a boss
Dave Barton

They should consider having a 1000th episode every week.
Joe

Wwe used to pull 4s and above weekly. I wouldn’t call this number “monster” but that’s just me. Good compared to the last few years I guess.

This is why TNA will never beat WWE. Sorry to say that, but if Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle and Jeff Hardy and going live at a better hour can't get the rating up, nothing will.

  tna could beat wwe if they had the right people running the company! but bad promoting,inept management,and not taking impact cross country to get noticed more is the reason why they are always getting ratings of 0.8-1.2!

    Tna could never beat Wwe unless all the stars from wwe switched places with the bums over @ tna!!!!!

Would be interesting to find out what year did the WWE last turn in a 4.0+ rating
- aj devilin
  
  the commercial free RAW i think in 2009(?) that show got a 4.5 rating
  - Kleck
    
    Can you even give a 30-60 second commercial a rating?

When was the last time they pulled off a rating like that?
Sythian

Let this be a sign that you draw big rating by putting on an entertaining show. If only the first hour had kept up with the other 2

  I think Vince mess that beginning hour up

With ratings like this Vince should attempt to get Brock and Rock full time by paying them whatever they want. I really enjoyed Raw it was awesome, if they book like this everyweek than there only competition will be the NFL.

Bit disappointed that we don’t get it live in Australia yet, Cole said it was live in to Mew Zealand go figure haha
- Miles
  
  We won’t get it until Friday evening
aj devilin

tna will also have the NFL as competition too as NFL network's thursday night football begins in september.
eric

This was entertainment great show mess Austin
Matt

Good for them! Amazing news. I know a lot of people who tuned in to watch that haven't seen wrestling in over 10 years like my parents and some of my friends. Gotta love it!
PFElton

"Monster" he says. Lmao.
George Takei

Oh myyy
jeremiah

This is nothing special IMO. I'd be willing to bet that next week their ratings will be down back to the low to mid 3's. The writing is what needs a massive overhaul. It's not really the wrestler's, its the writing.
Kevin

I'm not surprised the ratings got bigger with each hour. I think a lot of people probably forgot that it was 3 hours, plus once the word got out that it was so awesome, more people tuned in to watch the rest of it. That final hour had to be the biggest, since the show was scheduled to end with the Punk/Cena title match.
