----This week’s show below average with a 2.5 [42,644 viewers] ratings. The show continues to not do great numbers this year. If they pull off the Hulk Hogan vs Jerry Lawler bout, I think the ratings will start going up for the promoting of that bout. But, nothing they are doing on TV is outstanding enough for people to just WANT to see Memphis Wrestling.
----The show opened with a 3.1 [52,382 viewers], which was their highest quarter of the night. That quarter featured the Battle Royal and the Blaylock interview. The second quarter dropped almost 10,000 viewers with a 2.5 [42,308 viewers] rating for Kevin White/Mr. Hughes interview and squash. The next half hour scored a 2.3 [38,111 viewers] for the 3rd and 4th quarter. These quarters featured the horrible Grizz stuff, the horrible Moondog stuff and it had the great TV bout of Flex/Grind vs Flash/O’Neal. The show dropped 14,271 total viewers from start to finish.
----Nothing really good to say about the ratings. The show HAS to do better numbers on a constant basis for both CW 30 and Corey Maclin to be happy. After this week’s ratings for the 3.31.07 show are listed, I will be posting a look at Memphis Wrestling ratings for the first quarter of 2007 comparing them to 2006. I will also be posting my choice for the booker of Memphis Wrestling and how he could turn it around.
