Powell's POV: Last week's walkout led to strong ratings for the first three quarter-hours. The second hour ratings show that a lot of viewers didn't care for what they were seeing and moved on. I wish I could have been one of them given the poor quality of Monday's show. It is interesting that the rating never recovered once John Laurinaitis fired Jim Ross until the overrun, which usually does one of the better ratings of the show. Granted, there were two commercial breaks in the sixth and seventh hour, but the final quarter also bombed. If the firing didn't turn off viewers, the quality of the show clearly did.
