WWE Raw Viewership Sinks – Hour Three The Lowest Of Them All

Richard Gray October 23, 2012 WWE News 11 Comments

This week’s WWE Raw, the go-home to Hell in a Cell, did an average viewing audience of 3,554,000 viewers on the USA Network. Below is the hourly breakdown:

Hour one: 3,578,000
Hour two: 3,653,000
Hour three: 3,432,00

While the show had significant competition with the third Presidential Debate, the MLB Playoffs and Monday Night Football, a tell-tell sign is the drop in viewership from hour two to hour three.

Wwe was up against not only Football, but the last presidential debate. That’s tough to overcome no matter who you are.

remember this date…NOVEMBER 6th! after that date vince can finally get his head out of his wife's ass and give us more edgier (?sp) programming.

Can we get the ratings as 2.4 and stuff along with the number of viewing audience? Going from the Nielson Rating to the viewing audience bit is confusing the crap out of me.

wwe is still going to be pg regardless of linda's political aspirations.

linda does not care about the stupid world of pro rassling. she sees it as a circus freak show and the pro wrestlers are just circus animals.

If they added the uk viewer ships it would be alot higher. Look at tna they looked at the ratings and were shouting about it because they broke the record in the uk.

Currently there is really no reason to view continuously, you can always tune back and forth and miss nothing. IMHO the Wwe needs a faction like degeneration x or the four horsemen. The Miz has all the tools except size, Dolph lacks camera presence, joining these two and adding a manager, best guess off the top of my head – Chris Jericho, a group such as the one described would keep me interested throughout because something can always happen. They can dictate policy by owning the championships and add a wrestler or two later on. The best thing is that they both can be world champions, satisfying both egos and harmony within the group
