RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
This week’s 20th Anniversary of WWE Raw did a 3.185 cable rating with an average viewing audience of 4,550,000 viewers on the USA Network. We’re told Vince McMahon was hoping for a 3.5 cable rating with no competition but those in the company feel it’s going to take some time to build the audience for the build to Wrestlemania 29.

I don't see this as a triumph nor a failure. It was an okay show, with not too much to get explosive ratings at any point in time.

Vince, if you wanted a 3.5 or higher, you should've had AUSTIN ON THE SHOW!!!
THE QUEST BEGINS AGAIN!!!
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
It's the highest rating since the 1000th episode, but that's expected.
It's so-so. The real test will be next week. The Rock is fully worked into the product now, we'll see if it affects the novelty of his appearances.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
Austin had a prior engagement.

I have 1.2k channels on my cable box and I do not have a nielson box. How many of you have a nielson box?
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
Point is: Ratings don't really reflect the true audience. The Nielson ratings are an estimate guaged by those who participate in the nielson ratings. It's a really innaccurate judgment of who watches anything, tbh.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
He just happened to book something on a Monday, which just happens to be the same night as the 20th anniversary show....I wonder if there is something to it to be honest.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
Somehow I doubt Austin avoided a big Raw payday on purpose.
All we have is right now....
Go hard or go home.

Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
You may be searching too hard on this one. Austin wasn't obligated to be at the 20th, and neither was HBK, Taker, Bret, and the superlonglist. If you were disappointed it was your own fault.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
According to what he said on Twitter, he attends this hunting convention every year in Vegas. It's called The Shot Show. Just bad timing.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
lol, it could be just the the conspiracist in me, however I wonder if it is more about Austin playing hardball with Vince for a bigger Wrestlemania payday.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
HBK from what I read was booked for the same event as Austin. I'm sure they didn't avoid it on purpose, why would they?

Both HBK and SCSA had their gun convention in Vegas.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
I would have at least liked to see Triple H or The Undertaker show up.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
To do what? Say howdy to everyone?
And HHH just appeared a couple of weeks ago.
Btw I was much happier seeing Punk, Danielson, Kane, Barrett, Cody, Damien, Cena, Ziggler, and oh hell yeah, The Rock, rather than some guys who can no longer go in the ring.
he was the right gay guy and the right time.
^ I forgot where I copied that from but it was still on my clipboard and I wanted to edit the post.
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
lol They chose some gun convention over Raw?
Re: RAW 20th Anniversary Rating Is In.
LOL that them being at the convention also made WWE decide not to have any other top star (Taker, HHH, Hart or Edge) appear on the show to save any possible backstage heat which would involve a possible pissed off HBK or Austin
