RIC FLAIR = RATINGS THROUGH THE ROOF
WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW FROM MONDAY JULY 31ST 2006 ON THE USA NETWORK DREW A FINAL 4.1 RATING WHICH MEANS 4 MILLION AND 100 HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE WATCHING WRESTLING ON THAT NIGHT.
BUT WHAT IS INTERESTING IS WHEN WE BREAK DOWN THE RATINGS BY EVERY QUARTER RATING WE SEE WHO GETS THE HIGHEST RATINGS AND WHO DOESEN'T ON A CONSISTENT BASIS. QUARTER HOUR RATINGS ARE 15 MINUTE INTERVALS, THAT WOULD BE FOUR 15 MINUTE INTERVALS FOR EVERY 1 HOUR, AND EIGHT 15 MINUTE INTERVALS FOR EVERY 2 HOUR RAW BROADCAST AND ON THE JULY 31ST EDITION OF RAW HERE IS HOW IT WENT.
THE RIC FLAIR AND MICK FOLEY SEGMENT HAPPENED RIGHT AT THE 10:00 P.M. HOUR, SO THAT WOULD BE THE 5TH QUARTER HOUR OF THE NIGHT AND FOR THAT VERY QUARTER HOUR THE RATINGS WERE A WHOPPING 5.2, WHICH MEANS THAT AT LEAST 5 MILLION AND 200 THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE WATCHING, THE 2ND HIGHEST QUARTER HOUR RATING FOR THE NIGHT WAS A 4.7 WHICH MEANS THAT RIC FLAIR AND MICK FOLEY DREW OVER 500 THOUSAND MORE VIEWERS THAN ANYBODY ELSE ON THE SHOW.
RIC FLAIR AND MICK FOLEY DID A AMAZING PROMO TO SET UP THEIR HARDCORE MATCH AT SUMMERSLAM. IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I WILL BE REPORTING THE RATINGS IN MORE GREAT DETAIL AND EXPLAINING TO EVERYONE WHAT THEY MEAN AND THEIR IMPORTANCE IN WRESTLING.
BUT ON A PERSONAL NOTE THE MONDAY NIGHT RAW RATINGS REPORT FROM THE JULY 31ST EDITION OF RAW PROVES ONE VERY IMPORTANT POINT, RIC FLAIR AT THIS STAGE OF HIS LEGENDARY CAREER IS STILL WANTED TO BE SEEN BY MILLIONS OF FANS ALL AROUND THE WORLD. HE WAS CONSISTENTLY INVOLVED IN THE HIGHEST RATED SEGMENTS IN WRESTLING ALL THROUGH THE MID 90'S WHEN THE RAW VS. NITRO RATING WAR FIRST STARTED.
EVEN THOUGH RIC FLAIR HAS DREW THE HIGHEST RATINGS IN THE HISTORY OF WRESTLING WHAT IS SO AMAZING ABOUT THE SEGMENT WITH HIM AND MICK FOLEY IS THE FACT THAT THE MAN IS 58 YEARS OLD AND HE IS STILL GETTING THE HIGHEST RATINGS ON THE SHOW. I THINK IF ANYBODY OUT THERE READING THIS HAS ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER THAT RIC FLAIR NEEDS TO RETIRE ALL I CAN SAY IS CHECK THE NIELSON RATINGS EVERY TUESDAY MORNING AND THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
