As noted earlier, this fall season will mark 10 years on the air for WWE SmackDown. To celebrate, WWE will be putting on a “Decade of Smackdown” special to kick off the the new Friday Night Smackdown season on October 2nd, according to an article in entertainment publication Variety. We’ll keep you posted on this as they will likely go all-out with this one.
The rating is in for Monday’s WWE Raw
and the show did a 3.2 cable rating, down from last week’s 3.6. The show did hours of 3.08 and 3.38. It appears the mainstream media attention WWE received from Vince McMahon’s “Denver Debacle” crusade failed to draw any additional viewers to Raw. Game 4 of the NBA Playoffs between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers went head-to-head with Raw and crushed it in the ratings. The ESPN broadcast drew a 6.9 rating, more than double Raw’s number.
SPOILER ALERT: As noted several times before here on the website, former WWE Women’s Champion Victoria made her debut for TNA Wrestling at Monday night’s iMPACT!! taping in Orlando. After TNA Knockouts champ Angelina Love defeated Sojo Bolt to retain her title, Victoria, who will be going by her real name (Lisa Marie Varon) in TNA, hit the ring and ran off the Beautiful People.
