DID THE RAW AUDIENCE EROSION STOP (I BET YOU CAN GUESS THE ANSWER)...

By Dave Scherer on 2015-10-13 16:14:08

The 10/12/2015 edition of Raw did not stem the bleeding of audience for WWE. In fact, other than Christmas Eve in 2012, they dropped to the lowest number since the show went to three hours in July of 2012, doing just 3,285,000 viewers. That is down from last week’s 3,378,000 viewers.

The 10 p.m. hour got perilously close to falling under the 3M mark, doing 3,082,000 viewers.

I am sure we will hear the usual excuses, The Major League Baseball Playoffs, NFL Football, etc., but those things have been competing with WWE since 2012 and they never managed to sink this low. It’s all about the creative.
