The Ratings are in!!

----The show dropped this week back to below average numbers with a 3.4 [57,262 viewers]. This is the lowest rated show since the 9.23.06 show.

----The first quarter ended with Tatt2/Derrick King getting in the ring for the rematch of last week’s bout. That quarter, unlike the last two weeks, was weak scoring only a 2.8 [46,609 viewers]. The next quarter jumped 14, 648 viewers with a 3.7 [61,257 viewers] rating. That quarter started with DK vs Tatt2 ending almost at the end of “Opening the Vault”. The third quarter finished up with Lance Russell talking and ended right after Jethro/Huey had won. That quarter dropped only 1,664 viewers scoring a 3.6 [59,593 viewers]. The show then bounced back to 3.7 [61,257 viewers] for Savage vs Lawler and Lawler on the phone.

----Not the same big numbers as the last two weeks, but I also consider it a positive rating show. It started a little low and then for the next three quarters stayed at the same level. That is saying that the people watching the show are enjoying it and are not turning it off. The show ended with 14,648 more viewers than when it started. That is good. The two guys that should be real happy are Tatt2/Derrick King – their two matches have been seen by a two week total of 137,662 viewers and they seen that first jump when their 2cnd bout was going to start. I think this means that people were interested in that match, because of build up from the week before; maybe?? I am just guessing here, but furthering storylines only makes the shows better. I was surprised to see them not further the Cowboys/PP storyline.
