In another thread, Rikidozan claimed that he magically foresaw the belt coming back to HHH again. Apart from that being completely obvious and applying to Rock, Angle, Lesnar etc, I thought I'd have a check and see WHY the title keeps coming back to him.
Is it because of Steph? Nope the answer is this:
Here are the Raw viewing figures for the last 12 weeks of HHH's reign before losing the title to Goldberg:

Is it because of Steph? Nope the answer is this:
Here are the Raw viewing figures for the last 12 weeks of HHH's reign before losing the title to Goldberg:
3.7, 3.6, 4.3, 4.2, 4.0, 3.9, 4.0, 4.2, 4.2, 3.8, 4.2, 3.6
Now check the 12 weeks of Goldberg's reign:
3.6, 3.4, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.4, 3.4, 3.7, 3.6, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8
HHH Avg: 3.975 Goldberg Avg: 3.575
So HHH's rating as champ is 11.2% higher than Goldbergs!! Thats means about 10% of the viewers stopped watching when HHH lost the title.
Not only that, but HHH's LOWEST figure is higher than all but THREE of Goldberg's weeks!
Is it any wonder then that:
a) they keep giving the title back to HHH?
and
b) that they don't try people like RVD or Booker T as champ - after all, if Goldberg can't draw as champ, what chance do they have?
So the only way that HHH having the title is to do with Steph, is if she turns on about 400,000 TV's whenever Hunter is champ! :lol
