----The good news this week is that the show scored the 5th highest rating they have scored all year long with a 3.9 [65,813 viewers] overall. The first quarter opened strong with over 76,000 viewers. The next quarter had 88% retention dropping over 9,000 viewers. There is no way of telling whether the quarter dropped because of the finish of the tag match or started dropping with the White/Lawler stuff. But, since the 3rd quarter continued to drop more than 8,000 viewers, it is almost a given it was the White/Lawler stuff. The 4th quarter had 102% retention [meaning more watching the final quarter than the third], but overall they dropped over 16,000 viewers, which is NOT good. This year on all four occasions that the rating reached higher than this week, the next week sees the rating dropping 38%. The next few weeks will prove whether this rating was a fluke or a good sign. They have been putting on good shows, so more people maybe tuning in for that fact.
