ECW Rating & Article On Ratings Decline; WWF On MSG Delayed; Freakin DeaKANE RIP; WWE Tryouts
ECW on the Sci-Fi channel scored a 2.15 rating this week, down from last week's 2.2.
Interesting how some PWSpyware geeks blamed the ratings drop last week on the NBA Playoffs. Unless there's a Game 11 going on last night for the NBA Finals, you wonder the drop last week and this week is due to the product just doesn't have 'it' as a must see program?
You have to go to non wrestling websites to get a fair look at the ratings decline the last 2 weeks. And the mainstream media took notice of the decline.
Medialife posted a blurb about last week's ECW citing that it lost 500,000 viewers from the prior week.
