Let’s be honest here, the WWE is a show. While it is certainly a show predicated on athletes exerting themselves inside of a ring, it is nevertheless an entertainment device literally conceived in order to satisfy its fan base. As such, show ratings for WWE events are closely monitored. In fact, they are a huge indicator of the WWE’s success from year to year.
The highest rated single show occurred when the WWE was still the WWF. In the first The Main Event, the league billed Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant as a dream rematch for the ages. Newer fans must understand that these two wrestlers were arguably the biggest names of their generation. The result was an astonishing 33 million viewers and a 15.2 rating, marking the highest of all time.
