Ok so who have you pushed to the top and in return, they've kindly flopped in the ratings? Or who have you pushed who has increased your rating?

Mine would have to be Randy Orton. A talented worker in the eyes of most, finally won the big one aka the World Title from Cena at Wrestlemania 25 and from then on, the ratings went from 4.00 roughly to 2.86 (although the 2.86 did have Batista's return, something that I would turn off). I'm hoping that 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's last run at the top before his retirement which will involve a feud with Orton increases the ratings. So far the rating has gone up to 2.99.

CM Punk on the other hand has been giving consistent ratings for Smackdown in the 2.75 area which I'm pleased with.

How much does your champion/champion's overness effect tv ratings? i thougth it was mostly if not all down to match ratings and overall show ratings?

It probably is, but I just think of it as it being the Champion a bit like real life, like when Shawn Michaels won the big one and wasn't able to carry the company in 1996 I think it was.
