The big question is why does Punk get a massive response in the arena and merchandise, but ratings breakdowns say otherwise? Baffling. It's not like people who go to the arena don't watch wrestling each week as well.

I'd have thought it'd be a case of him having less fans, but more dedicated, older fans with more disposable income and louder voices.
