    Seriously Rock’s drawing power is impressive. Haters need to seriously stfu if you smell what the 7 year old is cooking.

      You damn right it is. The haters can go fuck themselves.

      The Rock > WWE’s current shitty superstars.

      • 7 year old boy

        Let’s rephrase this a bit here. The rock and John Cena > WWE’s current shitty superstars.

          lol im with you on that john cena would be a huge draw if he took time off now and then and made huge returns like austin and undertaker, but I can tell that even Cena wants his current gimmick gone as well and management wont have it.

        Don’t forget the drawing power of Tensai in lingerie.

    The Rock won the WWE title, of course fans are going to tune in. Whether we like the Rock or not the guy winning the title is huge.

    As much as I liked CM Punk being WWE Champion his title reign had started to become stale. All he would do every week is come out and whine and moan about not getting enough respect. Rock becoming WWE Champion brings a breathe of fresh air into RAW now plus it now gives CM Punk something else to do as he can chase the Rock for the title.

  • john

    Just goes to show the rock draws viewers. all rock haters need to stfu. I actually don’t even hear them, i just hear crickets at this point.

  • WCWPunk

    Considering The ROCK is the only superstar from the attitude era to Win the WWE Championship is BIG. Also remember, it was THREE years ago TNA challenged WWE in a “monday night war” where Hulk Hogan said “Yeah brother, me and Eric Bischoff are taking TNA to the next level brother” Yeah that was THREE YEARS AGO ;)

  • Really?91

    Impressive, now do those numbers without Rock, Jericho, & Lesnar…No? Didn’t think so.

    • James

      Give WWE credit for getting those guys on the show.

      • Really?91

        Again, I applaud them for it. But what you gonna do when they’re gone?

  • cappa37

    lol the day after the title is taken off CM Punk the rating sky rocket. Surprise surprise. The only way they maintain this is if they purge the WWE of all indy wrestlers. No more 6’0″ 200 pound trash. We need monsters like the Rock and Brock Lesnar.

    Congrats now you have a reson to blame Punk.

  • http://twitter.com/AJCampbellNYG Andrew Campbell

    I’m sure Vince was fapping when this weeks ratings were released.

  • http://twitter.com/StrayXPunk Orestis

    I didn’t only watch Raw to see the Rock but i wanted to see Cm Punk without the wwe championship as well.Still badass !

    Anyone else think it’s a bad sign that they need to produce a press release for these ratings?
