Highly anticipated WWE RAW rating comes in; Impact of Vince's announcement
Submitted by Ben Johnson on Wednesday, September 22, 2004 at 5:19 PM EST





The 'season premiere' of WWE RAW scored a 3.7 rating, up from last week's 3.6, according to Nielsen Media Research. Considering the post-PPV audience last Monday was exposed to the tease for Vince's big announcement, as well as the Lita-Kane-Snitsky incident, most critics do not feel this rating was successful.

In WWE's favor, however, CBS launched its new season of Monday night shows, which all performed well.

Nontheless, Vince's announcements have traditionally sparked ratings, at least to a certain extent, so the tiny increase was not desirable, nor what WWE was expecting. Of course, due to the fact that this website and many others spoiled how trivial the announcement actually was, it's possible that fans discovered the lack of magnitude ahead of time and did not tune in, or left the program immediately after Vince's announcement.
