possiamo sfatare il mito del This is your life segmento più visto di sempre? è il segmento EXTRARING più visto di sempre, ma non il più visto della storia del wrestling.
la puntata del 10 Maggio 1999 fece rating complessivo 8.1 prima ora 7,8 seconda ora 8,4 DI MEDIA.
il segmento Undertaker-Stone Cold del 28 giugno 1999 è ad oggi il punto più alto della storia del wrestling: fece 9.5 di rating (oltre 10 milioni di spettatori) ed era un lottato.
ecco la newsletter del Observer che lo dice, tra l altro
From the July 31 2012 Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
"June 28, 1999: A match where Steve Austin won the WWF title from The Undertaker in Charlotte drew the largest rating and audience to ever witness a pro wrestling match or for that matter, any pro wrestling segment, ever on U.S. cable television. The match did a 9.5 rating, which was 10.72 million viewers. Perhaps the most impressive is that one out of every six television sets in the U.S. that had cable that was on during that time was watching that match. Because for more than a decade, Vince Russo has made it a talking point to say how the “The Is Your Life: Rock,” segment was the highest rated segment in history (it did an 8.4 quarter), to show how skits outdraw matches, it’s become a talking point how that was the highest rated segment in Raw history. Actually there were a handful of different quarter hours that beat that total, including most of the second hour of the May 10, 1999 show."
Vince Russo giocò molto su questa cosa per pubblicizzarsi il lavoro. in realtà quindi non è il segmento più visto.
