I get that Austin has to shill this garbage for ad money but Rollins? Just another reason I can't take him seriously.
If WWE was hoping the buzz from the Night of Champions PPV was going to help them in the recent audience drain vs. Monday Night Football, they had their faith misplaced. The 9/21 edition of Raw, coming off the PPV, garnered just 3,349,000 viewers which is not only down from last week's 3,397,000 viewers, but is the lowest audience for the series (beyond a Christmas holiday episode) since it expanded to a three hour version in July 2012.
The audience dropped over the course of the three hours, showing that WWE's audience was not hooked by John Cena vs. Seth Rollins as the main event, nor the return of Kane to television. The 8 PM hour brought in 3,420,000 viewers for the first hour, then dropped to 3,368,000 viewers before bottoming out in the final hour at just 3,260,000 viewers.
The third hour would be the lowest audience for the 10-11 PM hour of Raw since the series expanded to three hours. Unless there was an error in how the audience was calculated last night, WWE has a lot of hard decisions to make in strategizing how they rebound from the onslaught of Monday Night Football.
Monday Night Football, by the way, brought in 12,479,000 viewers opposite Raw, winning the night.
Stupid maggles!
They could just start using their roster/writers more effectively.
Or bring in the nWo.
I am a big fan of your work, Mr. King.

Subjects, really.
And I prefer "serf."
Double Dash is my favorite Mario Kart. Beats the everloving shit out of 64.

It's a work bro. All of it.
Was Diesel a better WWF ratings draw than Rollins?
He was pretty much a bust, but the WWF wasn't doing so hot during that time so can't put it all on him.
He only became a ratings draw when he went to WCW and the nWo happened.
Other than that, not so much a draw really.
He really was Roman Reigns of the time.
That's cool, I wondered what happened to him after he left WWE
The fact that he became a huge draw in WCW shows that the problem was entirely in the writing. Nash had a bland uninteresting good guy character in 1995. Bret Hart was also wrestling evil dentists and HBK was losing in the first round of the King of the Ring. Owen after having a wonderful 1994 was wasted in 95. Razor should really have been added to the main event scene in 95 too. What was Undertaker doing? I can't even remember.
Feuding with Men on a Mission and IRS
Who was writing in 1995?
We can all admit that they're worse than Russo and even the current writers, right?

Do any of you guys play League of Legends? I've played it once, and damn are there an annoying amount of hot keys. I think I like it overall, though.
