The return of the Rock has had an immediate impact on the ratings. This is the first time in the 7's that I can remeber in quite a while.

Raw:

The ratings are in and the 7/30 edition of Raw is War was another winner, with Raw doing a 5.7 cable rating (with a 9.1 share) off of hours of 5.2 and 6.1. The overrun, with the return of the Rock, did a whopping 7.1. That is up from last week's 5.4.

And other Weekend Ratings:

Livewire did a 0.9 cable rating, which was up from last week's 0.7 cable rating.

Superstars did a 0.9 cable rating, which is the same as last week's 0.9 cable rating.

Heat did a 1.5 cable rating, which is down from last week's 1.7.

The Heat replay did a 1.2 cable rating, with a 2 share. That is up from last week's 0.9.

The 7/26 edition of Smackdown scored a 4.3 broadcast rating.

The 7/26 episode of Tough Enough did 2.1 cable rating.

All ratings are compiled by and the property of Nielsen Media Research.

it would have been so much better and more exciting if Rock had suddenly just appeared at Invasion or at SummerSlam and interfered in a match or something, or even if he just suddenly appeared on Raw. but they had to publicise it just so they could get ratings.

i would have liked it more if rock joined the alliance, rock is best as heel, i HATE the rock as a face, plus it would give guys like hhh and angle a turn to b face. but not to get off topic, the ratings were soaring

I dont think that the fans would let the Rock get over as a heel.

the rock got most of his fans when he was a heel, he was incredible, when he was the corporate champ. you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about

They could repackage him as a Bad Ass. Not a heal but some one who just brings it to both the Faces and Heels. Much like Austin was. With Rock's personality and arrogance, it will sell

I don't see that working. He's become too public with his appearances and movie roles. Everyone knows he's just a "swell guy" outside the ring. I'm sure Austin has made a few appearances here and there, but I don't think he comes off as such a nice guy to the public at large. Besides, I also get the feeling a repackaged Rock would'nt go well with most of the fans. Thats just my opinion - personally, I think he's decent, but he shines when he gets a mic in his hand and really goes off on someone. I'm not too thrilled with his new(er) intro music though...
