PWInsider.com‘s Dave Scherer has posted this week’s Raw rating as a 3.03 (down from last week’s 3.06). This must be viewed as a disappointment for WWE, considering Monday’s show marked the launch of McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania.

Posted by: Michael Gruver Jr at 06-11-2008 16:36 I blame it on the idiotic skits they kept running for each call. The fact that Vince is a slow dialer made these little interludes even worse because he would just sit there and dial...so...slowly[/orton]. I agree though; crap rating next week means Hardy title run for sure. Posted by: mike smallwood at 06-11-2008 20:56 this was the first RAW that i watched live since i got a dvr a couple years ago...lord its hard not being able to fast-forward!!! Posted by: Corey Parker at 06-11-2008 21:40 No Canadians means no rating outta me! Grr! I want $1,000,00 US.. that's like.. enough to buy lunch up here! Posted by: JAKE at 06-11-2008 23:10 The code was WWE Universe???? The contest is only for those in the US! I thought WWE was a worldly company? Why would the rest of us get shut out? Also, I think only the 5 people that actually won money liked the show. And if this in-ring product is what Vince wants people to come back to watch, he is nuts! He took the same boring fueds and through in a contest to help raise the ratings. This show received a 3 rating. I am very curious to see how next week will do now that the word will be out that he is actually giving away cash? Can't say I am curious about the in-ring product. It has been suffering ever since the steriod & Benoit incidents. Posted by: Joe Gr at 06-12-2008 01:07 I think if the ratings don't go up enough next week, WWE will end the Million Dollar mania, as there is not reason to give a million dollars away if nobody is watching. We shoulc try to remember that it is kinda nice to see fans getting money, I just think WWE needs to do it in a more entertaining way. Cause there's nothing worse than watching OTHER people get big bucks while watching a bad show. And if ratings don't go up, I still doubt Hardy will get a title run !

Posted by: Davo at 06-12-2008 05:27 It shouldn't surprise anybody that Million Dollar Mania has caused an economic downturn rating-wise. The whole thing has been a crashing bore to watch, and how could it be anything else, when the only people interested in it are those that have entered the competition? Wrestling fans want to watch wrestling, Vince, not your version of a lotto draw. Posted by: chris kolinek at 06-12-2008 07:46 your right I want to see prowrestling. But that makes common sense. which wwe has none. Posted by: Joe Gr at 06-12-2008 14:43 From what I've heard, the people Vince called were actually called before hand and screened to make sure they were home. So I geuss the suspense of maybe winning goes right out the window. Write Comment
