RAW on Monday did a 4.1 rating off hours of 4.1 and 4.2. The show did a 4.3 last week.

AM RAW did a 0.4. Interestingly enough, the Saturday 2AM replay of AM RAW did a 1.1 rating with a big 4.6 share. The AM RAW replay has been drawing a bigger audience than the first run for weeks now. Many feel WWE should put an ECW show into the AM RAW replay timeslot.

Smackdown on 4/21 finished with a 2.1 rating, its lowest in a long time.

Very bad for Smackdown! but good for Raw. Seems like both will never be high at the same time.

I've never really taken account of these ratings. Good to hear about Raw. They really seem to be up there at the top. But what is up with Smackdown. 2.1 is horrible ratings. They really need some more star power over there. Maybe like Triple H or Shawn Michaels. Someone to help them out. Even McMahon if they're desprite which I think they should be.

I agree. Smackdown! needs more star power, but mostly at the mid-card level. Their main event is low on stars because, they have too few mid-carders. so should-be main eventers like JBL, Chris Benoit, (possibly) Booker T, etc. are filling in the mid-card level instead. 'But also a huge factor playing with their ratings is UPN. UPN is really screwing over Smackdown! as of this point. Me, myself live in DC where UPN pretty much doesn't give two shits about Smackdown!. They would rather broadcast the National's lose half of their games instead. They usually show replays of it on Sat. here. 'But there are weeks like last week were they didn't even show it. UPN has also cut down alot of things from Smackdown!, including being resonsible for the firing of Muhammad Hassan. Those, two factors are have really been playing on SD as of late.

'Though as for RAW. Their ratings have been extremely well the past couple months. Well done for them.

Twist of Lemon

I dont know if Smackdown needs Star power cause that seems like the old stand by when ever Smackdown starts to drown abit they send over some like Kurt Angle or Batista. I think They need to start making new stars out of guys like Gunner Scott, CM Punk(when he gets called up), Jamie Noble and even bigger stars out of MnM. So that way it wont hinder Raw as much and They have more people to do with Story lines with.

i just realised this too, SD! gets 2.1 (and dropping), while iMPACT! is getting 1.1 (and rising). maybe this will be the wake up call for vince?
