Not a very good week for wrestling ratings here in Memphis. TNA’s Impact drawing less than a 1 rating overall was surprising. Their numbers had been a little low the past few weeks, but not that bad. Smackdown has not regained the 5.0ish ratings it used to consistently get when on CW-30 but its Ch.50’s highest rated show so they have to be happy. The 4.5 quarter hour is a sign that people may be finding what channel Smackdown is on. Memphis Wrestling’s rating was atrocious. I saw Corey sitting courtside at last night’s Memphis Grizzlies game, maybe I should have asked him “ What’s up with that shit??? ” Hahahaha!
Finally, RAW’s numbers dropped considerably too. I found out why: Monday Night Football’s game between the Titans and Colts pulled a 15.4, 22 share. I already knew that was going to happen especially since RAW hasn’t exactly been the most compelling television as of late. Nothing on TV the entire day beat MNF. That 15.4 doubled-up a good majority of what was on TV Monday. That 15.4 also doubled-up every World Series game’s numbers locally. That’s impressive!
Note: The ratings for RAW is listed as 2 separate hours. I will round off, to the highest number, the averages of both hours for the final rating.
