    It's a good thing WWE only depends on America for it's PPV buys then...... oh :eek:

    Eh, being a wrestling fan - it was a brilliant night to be an American from Miami, then great to be American, and absolute sh!t if you aren't.

    well i don't think last night is going to affect international buys either way, anyway any international wwe fan knows vince and his company are incredibly patriotic

    Not gonna lie, I really enjoyed that Raw. Rock has been a hero of mine since I was 11 years old, so I thoroughly enjoyed seeing him get "rimjobbed" for 2 hours, as you've put it! Just wish my birthdays were that good :(

    its amazing just how poor raw is compared to the nitro's/raws of the mid - late 90s.

    its just not good anymore

    Well, obviously cause it was reported, Vince thought the surprise was gone so changed his plans.

    That, and blame Wrestlezone and those news sites, not me :P

    I can't see what they'll do with Swags & McIntyre on raw.

    They will probably stick as a tag-team and feud with Kane/Big show for a while.

    They can be called....... Swaggintyre :D

    You really need to rewatch those 3 hour 1998/1999 Nitros.

    Monday's WWE Raw drew a 3.45 rating, which is down slightly from the 3.47 rating that the WWE Draft edition of the show last week. The first hour of the show drew a 3.6 rating with 5.4 million viewers, and the second hour dropped to a 3.3 rating with 5.0 million viewers.

    Powell's POV: WWE can't be happy with that number. Granted, it was only down slightly from the WWE Draft, but they had to have higher expectations with The Rock returning. Rock returning so quickly after WrestleMania could be an issue, but it's worth noting that the interest in the Osama Bin Laden death story may have drew some regular viewers to news channels.

    Solid number but with all the effort they put into getting all the celebs it's not exactly earth shattering is it?


    Also it was Masters first week on Raw since the draft so that should have spiked some interest as well.


    Odd.

    Looks like Mason Ryan is going out on his own.My advise is CM Punk should introduce him to Straight Edge. Jesus these happy birthday wishes are apocalyptically bad.

    I bet Matista will get a title shot before Punk :rolleyes:

    Doesn't sound like he was taking a cheap shot, unless he hates The Rock and patriotism.

    Maybe I mis-interpreted it.

    But like Rossie1975 said earlier, a lot of people in American forums were also saying it was the best Raw in years.

    could it mean that greats means just the rock, and in the sense great ones (there hasnt been another rock since rock left.) have been far and few between?

    I thought it was a genuinely terrible Raw. Kharma and Kelly Kelly was the only saving grace.

    Their use of The Rock was terrible.

    This Raw was a write-off.

    I don't have a problem with the majority of the show being dedicated to The Rock and pro-USA, but the timing was terrible as now they only have two more Raws before the next PPV.

    I suppose we can't blame Vince Macmahon for the date of Rock's birthday or the death of Bin Laden, but we're going to get a ton of rushed booking in the next 2 weeks.
