The Monday Night RAW Rating for 9/27 is in and it has once again bombed for the second consecutive week. The rating come in at a shocking 2.37 which makes this one of the lowest rated episodes of RAW in nearly 13 years. The last time RAW did a rating this low was on October 27, 1997 BEFORE the Montreal Screwjob of November 1997 when ratings took off and the Attitude Era was born.
The show averaged 3.8 million viewers over the course of the entire show. The viewership was also the lowest in nearly three years when the December 24, 2007 (Christmas Eve) RAW brought in 3.75 million viewers.
PWTorch provided the data below which shows other RAW shows in the same rating range over the last decade:
* 2.40 rating December 31, 2001
* 2.60 rating on July 4, 2004
* 2.70 rating on Dec. 25, 2006
* 2.50 rating on July 30, 2007
* 2.50 & 2.60 ratings on December 24 & 31, 2007
It is interesting to note that all but the July 30, 2007 edition of RAW have been Holiday RAW's (Christmas Eve/Day, New Years Eve). A time when we typically expect ratings to come in low.
Looking at Monday's rating one might attribute much of the drop due to the Packers vs. Bears Monday Night Football game on ESPN which was reported to have been in the top 5 most watched cable broadcasts of all time. RAW was also taped which didn't help as a large chuck of the audience would have read spoilers online and skipped the show for some of the new shows such as NBC's The Event.
