A roller coaster week for wrestling this past week. TNA’s Impact doubled its number from the week before. Smackdown’s rating dropped a little over 1 point, but it was Halloween and that lower number should be expected. Memphis Wrestling’s rating was up substantially, but that wasn’t very hard considering the previous week’s 0.4 rating. I hate to be negative but I think they just got lucky this week. WWE Raw, in my opinion, did not do a very good rating. It was another one of their big 3 hour specials and it didn’t meet expectations. More people watch during the 2nd hour than they did during the main event cage match. Not good!
Note: The ratings for RAW is listed as 3 separate hours. I will round off, to the highest number, the averages of all 3 hours for the final rating.

Thanks and enjoy!!!
