Early Raw Viewership Numbers; Rare 3rd Hour Increase
May 21, 2013 (23:30) [ Indexed from WRESTLEZONE.com ]
This week's episode of Monday Night Raw did an average of 4.226 million viewers for the entire show, with hours of 4.078, 4.295 and 4.307 respectively. Not only is this number an increase from last week's low rating, but it was a rare occasion where the numbers continued to grow throughout the night. It is likely more than a coincidence that Paul Heyman's "big announcement" was scheduled for the second hour, with Triple H in a rare Raw main event advertised for the final segment.  We will have the final Raw rating available later today.  More...

Stars in Progress: Curtis Axel, The Shield, Randy Orton
May 21, 2013 (22:30) [ Indexed from WRESTLEZONE.com ]
After a couple of much-needed weeks off, I'm back in full force here on WrestleZone with my weekly columns (Tuesdays and Fridays), the ocassional news posting and, of course, Voice of Wrestling every Monday night from 6:30-7:30 EST. Plenty to talk about, too, so let's not waste one more second!  Curtis Axel - One Step, Period It's clearly a step up for "Michael McGillicutty", but it's too early to tell for "Curtis Axel". The fact they're doing anything with him is positive though. And stop getting so bent out of shape over his name. It's not bad enough to prevent him from getting over if it's meant to be. I would go back to "Curt" though, as his initial titan tron graphic seemed to suggest that was at least in the cards at some point. Paul Heyman can make anyone better on camera as one of his "guys".  But comparable to CM Punk and Brock Lesnar as Paul wanted to suggest in his promo last night? There's no way to know that right now. Axel has a good look, good ability, and GREAT genes. Now, he has Paul Heyman as a mouthpiece. He couldn't be given a better opportunity. I just hope they don't try to oversell him too quickly. Fans don't tend to react to nobodies being throw into major stories without justification first. The Shield - One Step Up There's no doubt that the US and Tag Titles are in better hands at this point. At least there's some value with them now, even if thethe actual titles still aren't directly valuable. Meaning, they help add value to this group of three, whereas I don't think they did for Kofi or Team Hell No. This will help The Shield continue to get over. And that's what they need most right now, even though I read where some fans and even experts think they're geting over huge right now. I must be hearing something different. Or NOT hearing, for that matter. I don't think they're doing a bad job, by any means. In fact, they're right where they should be. WWE has done well keeping them relevant and putting them over. The titles are just a good continuation of that. The position they're in now is a delicate balance, however. They aren't the nWo equivalent -- they don't have a big enough name right now to be anywhere close -- so for now, they are still just on top of the midcard. There's nothing wrong with that, but will the entire midcard be elevated as a result? I'm not so sure. How do you continue to work on putting over these three men effectively, while trying to help the entire division as a whole (or divisions, when you include both US and Tag Team, although I'm grouping the entire midcard into one)? Will WWE be able to pull the trigger eventually when it's time for them to lose their respective titles? Especially when it's to much lesser individuals (or teams) than the ones they've already defeated up to this point? Or...will they drag it out too long to the point that it really doesn't benefit anyone in the end? They've done excellent up to this point; let's hope the consistency continues. Randy Orton - One Step Down Nick Paglino and I were discussing this on last night's Voice of Wrestling show -- neither one of us have any clue what Randy Orton is doing these days. He can still win, but ultimately those wins mean nothing...for anyone. I used to put Randy Orton over as a "Top 5" in the business, easy. Maybe he still "could" be, but there's no reason anyone should realize it. What happened to all that backstage clout he used to have? And if he still has it, and is simply not using any longer, does that means he's gone soft? Did he turn the proverbial "new leaf"? Does he live in guilt and regret for how he treated people in the past that he no longer deems himself worthy of a top spot in the company? So many questions, zero answers. There is no rhyme or reason to the stalling pattern Randy Orton has been held in for years now. Here's the good news though. I still believe fans would accept him in a main event role as soon as he decides he wants to be there again. He's still over. And he would be more over with any type of increased relevance. But why in the hell hasn't it happened yet? When you consider how desperate WWE is for true star power right now, it's even more mind-boggling. Without knowing a reason, I won't lose ALL respect for one of my prior favorites. But I need answers, and soon! Otherwise, I migh begin a petition-led movement encouraging WWE to put Randy Orton and his fans out of their misery and just release him already. Would there really be much of a difference?
