Vince Russo wrote a new blog this week and took a shot at Sami Zayn while discussing Monday's WWE RAW from Montreal. Russo wrote the following:
Please allow me to introduce myself—I’m Vince Russo.
‘”If the show is good . . . they will watch it.”
– Vince McMahon, sometime during the Attitude Era
Those were Vince McMahon’s exact words to me one day at his dining room table while we were working on the next episode of RAW. The conversation came about when the previous show’s rating came in, and it faired extremely well against tough competition. Vince’s point was that no matter what else is on TV at the time—it doesn’t matter—if your show is good—it will be the one of choice.
WWE's Extreme Rules pay-per-view was the #2 non-sports event in the Series and Specials category in Nielsen's new Twitter TV ratings. HBO's Game of Thrones was #1. Extreme Rules had a unique audience of 1,872,000, which represents the number of Twitter accounts that commented on the show. The pay-per-view had total impressions of 15,274,000, which represents the number of times the show was tweeted about.
