Because people saw it, then never wanted to see wrestling ever again

this is 1 thing i agree with /asp/ on. i used to be a big taker mark till my eyes were opened on here. i still hate Roman and think the WWE is shite but /asp/ has converted me on the undercarder

>>2569827
Who was he wrestling against? Why'd you leave that out, huh?

>>2570231
Stone Cold

so Undertaker was 5% of the reason the match did that high rating (5% is generous)

>>2570777
If that's the case then how come so many other Raw matches with Austin involved didn't achieve that high of a rating?

>>2570795
cause this title match was in the middle of peak Austin vs Vince, the next ppv Vince is forced to leave WWF

>>2570795
Because the match he's talking about happened in an overrun segment so it piled in extra viewers from Nitro and people who tuned into USA to see the next scheduled programme.

The highest rated segment on Raw in regular broadcast hours is This Is Your Life Rock and the highest rated match it Patterson and Brisco vs the Mean Street Posse.

Dave Meltzer is a mark and a sophist and Based Russo is right.

>A match where Steve Austin won the WWF title from The Undertaker in Charlotte drew the largest rating and audience to ever witness a pro wrestling match or for that matter, any pro wrestling segment, ever on U.S. cable television. The match did a 9.5 rating, which was 10.72 million viewers. Perhaps the most impressive is that one out of every six television sets in the U.S. that had cable that was on during that time was watching that match. Because for more than a decade, Vince Russo has made it a talking point to say how the “The Is Your Life: Rock,” segment was the highest rated segment in history (it did an 8.4 quarter), to show how skits outdraw matches, it’s become a talking point how that was the highest rated segment in Raw history. Actually there were a handful of different quarter hours that beat that total, including most of the second hour of the May 10, 1999 show.

Smeltzer unironically thinks Arn Anderson was a top draw of the 90s and Ric Flair was a bigger draw than Sting/equal to Hogan.

Melzter is the one who has access to all the numbers

>>2570868
You don't have any numbers to dispute him. You just disagree with him because smarks like him too much and worship his ratings.
