FOR THOSE WHO SAY TALKING SEGMENTS AREN'T A DRAW IN WRESTLING (LOOKING AT YOU CRAZY UNCLE), YOU NEED TO SEE THAT FANS SAY OTHERWISE

According to WrestleNomics, the first three quarter hours of Raw, which featured the 45 minute opening with Triple H, Cody and The Rock and not one bit of wrestling did:

8:00	2,680,000 viewers
8:15	2,950,000 viewers
8:30	3,190,000 viewers

Characters that you are invested in and stories that you care about make most fans care about the matches.  As I always say, you can't have a five star match without five star storylines and characters.
