The Ratings: Memphis Wrestling TV 3.08.08

----Saturday nights Memphis Wrestling TV show did an overall rating of 1.7 [29,213 viewers], which is the second lowest rating of the year. [only last week beats it] The last two shows have also had two of the lowest rated quarter hours ever – last week’s 1st quarter did 1.1 [19,139 viewers] and this week’s 1st was even lower with 18,300 viewers.

----Memphis Wrestling’s Corey Maclin needs to take a long look at these numbers and try to do something different. Even though these shows are entertaining – the fans have learned that they are OLD shows and could care less. I suggest them try to bring in some the new faces like “Too Kool 2”, Derrick King, Johnny Dotson, Dustin Starr and other guys and do features on them. It is evident that a three year old angle, even as good as it was, is not going to draw good TV numbers.

----No real big highlight of the show, but it finished with more viewers than it started, but that was minimal. Memphis was watching TV though with highest rated quarters in that hour up 27% with over 170,000 total viewers
