Raw ratings, Shane McMahon not at Unforgiven, Big Show welcomed, Dress code and more

-It was surprising to some that WWE was able to maintain a 3.6 rating with the return of Everybody Loves Raymond and Monday Night Football, but traditionally the WWE's viewership stays steady in the fall, because of the greater number of people who return to watching television for the fall season balanced against those who leave to watch something other than Raw.

-Shane McMahon was not backstage at Unforgiven, which was surprising to many, because Shane attends all PPV's and Raw events that follow them the next night. Many backstage like to keep a close eye on Shane, because it was believed for a long long time that Shane would be running the company by the ago of 40. However, more and more it looks as though his sister Stephanie and Hunter (Triple H) are looking more and more like they will be running the company in the future. As of now, Stephanie has much more power than Shane as far as things go with the WWE at this point.

-Big Show was welcomed back to the WWE locker room because he gets along with everyone so well. He is said not too take himself very seriously and he is an easygoing, joke cracker.

-John Cena is now the only person "exempt" from the dress code because of the conflicts it presents between his on air character and being dressed in business attire. The Undertaker is now following the dress code also and many wrestlers are making the best of the situation.

-The WWE Divas have a lot more leeway when it comes to the dress code because "business casual" for them gives them many more options than the men.

-One of the main reasons that Mark Jindrak is still around the roster even though management has given him no push is because he is good friends with Randy Orton.
