----The show this week plummeted back down to 2.2 after reaching a big 4.1 last week. The show average for 2007 so far is 2.8. The average last year overall was a 4.2 and the first quarter last year was a 5.1. [as featured in Yearbook 2006] This can not be good news for the Corey and company. You don’t have to go back but to the first show of the year to get a lower rating - it scored 2.1, but you have go back to 8.19.06 before you can find a show with a lower rating than that.
----The first quarter scored only a 1.4 [22,472 viewers], which I believe is the lowest quarter I have seen since starting the site. It featured the Derrick King interview and the “Opening the Vault” piece right after the concession stand brawl clip. The second quarter finish the Moondog segment, The Grizz angle and ended during the Flex/Grind/Flash interview. It scored 1.9 [32, 127 viewers], which was 9,655 viewer jump. The third quarter jumped 10, 320 viewers scoring a 2.6 [42,447 viewers] for the 6 man tag, American Idol contestant and almost at the end of Jethro vs Sam Shaw. The 4th quarter scored 2.8 [46,442 viewers] jumping 3,995 viewers for the finish of Jethro vs Shaw and White/Hughes/Brown/Dundee angle. The show ended with 23,970 more viewers than it started with.
----The Bill Dundee/Kevin White angle has actually started a streak of it’s own with the last two weeks of being featured in the highest rated quarter. White as a babyface was linked with matches with Lawler and was featured in some of the biggest dropped segments. This seems to be proving that he has heel appeal. Is it also because the feud is with Dundee and he is helping the ratings?? I blasted him last week for being the reason for the drop, but it looks like fans are wanting to see the Dundee/White angle or at least White as a heel. That angle has been seen by over 120,000 fans in the last two weeks.
