So on Thursday CM Punk posted on Instagram (or maybe Twitter) "Maybe find some tape for the ratings so nobody sees those either". I haven't really been paying attention to ratings much recently, but it did make me curious.
On the Good Friday edition of Rampage Adam Page defeated Adam Cole in a world title match. On the following Dynamite Punk would defeat Dustin Rhodes in a Meltzer rated 4 star match. After the match Punk would do the waist belt thing (the discount double check if you will) thus launching himself into the world title picture.
There would be 11 Dynamites with Punk either chasing the world title or as world champion. On average those 11 Dynamites drew a 0.332 demo, the 28 Wednesday Dynamites he hasn't appeared on since then did a 0.320 average, which works out at a loss of roughly 15 thousand viewers in the 18-49 demo. In terms of total viewers his world title chase/reign drew 929 thousand, whilst the 28 Wednesday Dynamites have done 943 thousand average, an increase of 14 thousand viewers.
