So if you compare ppv buyrates and ratings, let's see:

New Year's Revolution 2007 225k, RR 525k, No way Out 205k, WM 23 1250k, Backlash 210k, Judgement Day 240k, One Night Stand 188k, Vengeance 255k, Great American Bash 250k, Summerslam 545k
Average 401k
Ratings. Cena's 2006 run drew a 3.9 household rating. But there were 111.4 million TV households that year which totally changes things. 1 household rating point means 1% of all TV households were tuned in for the show. This means if we have 3.9 we get the number of households watching raw that year like this : (3.9/100)x111,400,000 which is 4,344,600 million households for that year.

In constrast, in 1998, in US there were 98 million TV households. So for 4.35 rating that year we get (4.35/100)x98,000,000 which is 4,263,000 million households tuned in.More households, obviously, means more viewers.

Thoughts? It seems there is a marginal difference
