The Ratings Are In!!!

----This show was a bit higher than last week, but Memphis Wrestling has opened the year 2007 with two below average ratings. Saturday’s show scored an overall rating of 2.9 [47,441 viewers].

----1^st Quarter opened with a 2.7 [44,445 viewers] starting with Reggie B Fine comments and ending with “Too Cool 2” vs “Picture Perfect” bout. The show had very little movement up and down this week. The second quarter had 3,329 more viewers scoring 2.9 [47,774 viewers] for the Nate vs Watson BS and ending with Jimmy Hart phone interview. 3^rd quarter had Dundee interview, “Opening the Vault” and King/Fine vs Tatt2/Dotson in the ring. That quarter scored 2.8 with only 1,332 viewers less. The last quarter started with rest of the tag match and the White/Starr vs Fire/Flame bout. That quarter jumped to 3.1 [51,1103 viewers] and 4661 more viewers. The start to finish number was 6,658 more people turned it while the show was airing.

----As said, this show didn’t move up and down much and ended with positive viewers. I do know the show could survive at this number, but might be more pressure on them to score at this level. If the ratings don’t get better by the end of the month, then Maclin needs to start looking at adding new people to his roster. Not only do we have Lawler, who has been on Memphis Wrestling, but some of the other guys have been there for a while also. It also has to go back to them just cutting off angles and not saying anything about them – this year started with them not even mentioning the Brickhouse Brown angle. Oh yea and get non-wrestlers like Nate the Rat and Grady Watson OUT OF THE RING!!!
