While the three presidential candidates addressing to the WWE fans got big media coverage, that still didn’t help the ratings for last Monday’s 3 hour RAW King of the Ring/Presidential special. That Monday’s RAW scored 3.0 ratings overall.

Guess no one cared for King of the Ring being back and everybody already predicted they were going to bring in fake impersonators for Hillrod and the Barack.
WWE is failing in the ratings because it’s not what it used to be in the Attitude days during the 90’s when Stone Cold and the Rock were around.
I also think John Cena hogging up too much TV time is another reason for WWE ratings going down.
Bring back Stone Cold Steve Austin full time (rumour has it, he is coming back full time) and the ratings would sure sky rocket high.
