The Ratings Are In!! Ratings Nightmare!

----This week’s show did not do very well. The show did an overall rating of 2.2 [37,104 viewers], which is one of the lowest ratings this show has posted. I will have a full report next week on the rating trend and such when I retrieve all the data from my crashed computer.

----The show opened with a 2.5 [42,140 viewers] for the first quarter featuring Lawler/Corey/Hart at Lawler’s home and the 6 man tag. The second quarter dropped 12,759 viewers scoring only a 1.8 [29,381 viewers] for the clips from the Grizzles game and stopped in the middle of the Dotson vs White match. The 3rd quarter, which featured the finish of the Dotson vs White match and ended just as Hogan was getting on the phone jumped 18,971 viewers for a 2.9 [48,352 viewers]. The 4th quarter scored a 1.7 [28,551 viewers] dropping a whopping 19,801 viewers!! The show finished with 13,589 less viewers than it started with.

----This show was a ratings nightmare. The only positive of the whole show was that the Hogan announcement was seen by the most viewers. The show went up and down the whole hour . 2007 has not been a great year for ratings so far. Memphis Wrestling has to start doing good storylines and stick with them to win back viewers. Ownership can not be happy with numbers like this, but it has been written here on the site a million times, that the show is not worth watching. The ratings are proving it now.
