– As noted earlier here on the website, last night’s episode of WWE RAW drew a 3.25 rating for the three hour episode, with a 3.37 rating for the show’s standard two hour timeslot. The 3.37 would have been the highest Raw since May 23rd. The show had a total average of 4.74 million viewers for the three hour period and 4.95 million viewers for the two hour period. The show had 4.31 million viewers in the first hour, five million viewers in the second hour and 4.91 million viewers in the final hour.
The show was the #2 watched show on cable TV behind the Monday Night Football game in both overall viewers and males in the 18 – 34 and 18 – 49 demographics.
This Week’s RAW Rating + JR At Survivor Series?
AppId is over the quota
– This week’s three-hour RAW did a 3.2 cable rating, with an average of 4.7 million viewers. The show did hours of 2.9, 3.4 and 3.4. As for the normal timeslot of 9-11EST, the show did a 3.4 cable rating. That is way up from last week’s 2.9. That means The Rock drew huge numbers for WWE.
– Jim Ross tweeted today that he will not be at the WWE Survivor Series PPV this Sunday. I’m not booked at Survivor Series @this time. I am booked in Waco to see OU-Baylor Sat. IF I set up sauce stand @ MSG Sunday, wud u come by?, Ross tweeted.
Superbad Star Hosting Raw, Smackdown Rating, Michael Tarver At Impact, Maria Returning?
AppId is over the quota
- Actor Jonah Hill of films such as Knocked Up and Superbad will be guest hosting next week’s Raw supershow.
- Last week’s episode of WWE Friday Night Smackdown drew a 1.95 rating, with 2.95 million viewers. That’s down from the previous week’s 2.19 number.
- Former WWE star Michael Tarver was backstage at last night’s Impact Wrestling tapings. He was not used on the show so was probably just visiting friends or inquiring about a future spot.
- Former WWE Diva Maria has stated that she’s training to return to the ring, but hasn’t specified which promotion she’ll be working for. TNA is an obvious speculation, but there are the odd Indy shows that would pay her well for one time gigs.
Booker T’s In-Ring Return, JR Not On Raw Update, Storm’s Concussion, Raw Rating
AppId is over the quota
- As previously noted WWE are looking to do a Cody Rhodes vs Booker T angle, marking Booker T’s return to the ring. WWE is now officially advertising Booker T as challenging Cody Rhodes for the Intercontinental Title at the December 29 live event in Buffalo.
It’s not clear if Booker’s return will be a permanence thing, but the feeling is that he’s just being used to put over Rhodes.
- The reason JR’s segment was cut from Monday’s Raw is that The Walt Disney Company were contractually guaranteed that no scheduled segment featuring The Muppets would be cut from the program, meaning WWE had to cut time from elsewhere. Jim Ross was not immediately aware of why he wouldn’t be featured.
- As noted yesterday TNA star James Storm suffered a concussion at last week’s Impact Wrestling tapings. It is now believed that he’ll need up to 2 months off.
“Had a ct head scan and a MRI yesterday,” Storm wrote on Twitter. “Hate when doctors just come in and give you a look. Just tell me the bad news. Cowboy up!!!”
“Confirmed…. TV tapings in Macon the cowboy sustaind(sic) a concussion. Doc says 6-8 weeks. But that’s for a normal man.”
Readers noted that Storm had appeared at house shows after the incident. This is because he did not see a doctor until the Monday.
- This week’s episode of WWE Monday night Raw featuring the Muppets, drew a drew a 3.1 cable rating on the USA Network.
Dixie Carter Answers Questions, Impact Rating, Evan Bourne Disses Tweet Plugging
AppId is over the quota
ImpactWrestling.com recently featured a fan Q&A session with Dixie Carter. Here are some highlights:
* “I would love Impact to be live each week, but it’s a matter of economics. As far as wrestling news sites are concerned, if you want to be surprised then people should not read them. If people choose to, they certainly shouldn’t judge anything based upon one persons opinion, good or bad. The few times I have seen a spoiler, they always tell a limited, one-dimensional side of a story, and usually a very biased one at that.”
* “It is our top priority to take the show on the road on a permanent basis. Hopefully we will announce more live event Impact taping dates soon.”
* “I’ve never felt better about every aspect of the company. I think Impact Wrestling is better than it has ever been. So many of the younger talent have stepped up and are earning the spotlight. We are having tremendous international success, and are growing the corporation in many new areas, which are critical to our overall growth. I’m very excited about the upcoming year.”
- This week’s episode of Impact drew a 1.27 rating on Spike TV, which is up from the 1.14 the show drew last week.
- Evan Bourne took shot at WWE’s consistent plugging of Twitter…on Twitter:
wonder if WWE ’13 will have our twitter handles, random tweet pop ups and Cole talking tweets? Might make gameplay as annoying as viewing.
My guess is WWE 13: “The Network”. You are Vince and control the WWE with a WWE “Univers(e)al” Remote. Create history and earn money!
This Week’s RAW Rating + Mask vs. Mask Match?
AppId is over the quota
– This week’s WWE RAW drew a 3.3 cable rating, with 4,714,000 viewers. The show did hours of 3.53 (3.5) and 3.11 (3.1). That is a huge drop in hour two and is obviously not good news.
– As noted last week, WWE officials went back and forth on whether or not to hold the Mask vs. Mask match at last week’s SmackDown tapings in Mexico City.
Once they had announced it, the match was pulled and put back on the booking sheets about 3 times. At first, there was a feeling that they should hold it based on disappointing ticket sales, hoping that the match would draw. Someone brought up that the Mask match is the biggest thing they could do with Sin Cara and it should be done on a pay-per-view, not a taped TV show. After discussion, the match was held because WWE had already announced it to fans.
Regarding the payoff from the Mask match between the two Sin Caras, it’s said that most were disappointed in it.
Heath Slater Suspended, Booker T’s Ring Return, Why Bobby Roode Lost, Smackdown Rating
AppId is over the quota
- Following Darren Young’s lead, Heath Slater has now been suspended for his first Wellness Policy violation. He’ll be out for 30 days.
- As previously noted there are plans for Booker T to return to the ring for a feud with Cody Rhodes. Booker’s official return is set for November 1st Smackdown tapings.
- Bobby Roode was originally set to win the the TNA World heavyweight title from an injured Kurt Angle at Bound For Glory, but Hulk Hogan stepped in and decided against it. He feels Roode is not yet ready to run with the title, despite ratings being virtually the same for years.
- Last week’s episode of WWE Friday Night Smackdown drew a 2.26 cable rating on Syfy.
Impact Rating, Heath Slater Issues Statement, Sheamus Doesn’t Like Twitter
AppId is over the quota
- The final figures for what Dixie Carter and Eric Bischoff have called “highest ever Impact rating” are in, and they’re not wrong. The show drew a 1.35 rating, with an average of 2.0 million viewers.
The show featured James Storm win his first ever Heavyweight title after being with the company since its inception in 2002.
- Recently suspended WWE star Heath Slater made the following statement on Twitter:
“As most of you already know, I am going to be out of the WWE spotlight for the next few weeks. Of course everyone is going to form thier(sic) own opinions on why that is but I don’t feel the need to explain myself to all the SLATER HATERS out there running thier(sic) mouths. There R plenty of things on my mind that I would like to say to those people but Im not going to to waste my time, my breath or my energy. Instead I’m going to focus all my efforts on being the best Superstar I can be – MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY… TO MYSELF, MY FRIENDS, FAMILY AND TRUE FANS I am truly sorry to have disappointed you. I made a simple mistake… everyone does once in a while. But trust me when I say I will NOT be making this one again. I PROMISE upon my return you will see a more determined, fearless, confident and improved person. Im going to be THE MAN I WANT TO BE. So let the countdown start…”
It’s believed he failed the Wellness Policy for using a synthetic form of Marijuana called Spice, which wrestlers have been using to relax after shows.
Ironically using the real thing results in a $2000 fine, but not a suspension.
- Speaking of Twitter Sheamus explained why he’s yet to join the social networking platform during an interview on the WWE website. He said:
“No, I’m still not on Twitter, fella. I see a lot of guys doing it, but I just don’t see the appeal. It’s not my thing. You know, I like what I do on Raw or SmackDown to be what people remember me for, not what I say on Twitter. That’s what Triple H did, what The Rock and Stone Cold [Steve Austin] did. Times are changing, but I want people to remember what Sheamus did in the ring as The Celtic Warrior, not some tweet about having a banana sandwich or chocolate milk today.”
TNA Gets Highest Rating? Gerald Brisco Suffers Stroke, WWE Bails Tomko? HBK/Bret DVD Preview
AppId is over the quota
- Official numbers are not yet out but Dixie Carter and Eric Bischoff are claiming yesterday’s Impact Wrestling, where James Storm won the Heavyweight title, was the highest rating to date.
Carter wrote on Twitter:
“Two million viewers on Thursday’s IMPACT WRESTLING on SpikeTV – our most watched episode ever!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!”
Eric Bischoff sniped:
“Ever notice how the shows that the dirt sites put over get the lowest ratings and the ones they bury get the highest? hmmmm.”
- From Jim Ross’ Twitter:
“Spoke to Jerry Brisco today. He’s still hospitalized in Tampa after suffering ‘mild’ stroke on Wednesday. He’s feeling better & is a fighter.”
- It’s believed WWE may have posted bail for Tyson Tomko after he was incarcerated for several days unable to pay. According to his attorney he will also be entering a WWE sponsored rehab program:
“He’s very grateful for all the support he’s received from his friends, family and fans around the world. Mr. Tomko realizes he is struggling with an addiction and with the support of his family and the WWE, he is voluntarily checking himself into an undisclosed treatment facility to receive the help he needs for a successful recovery.”
Tomko was arrested after stealing Oxycodone from a pharmacy and shooting up in a Chili’s restaurant toilet.
- WWE have released some preview videos from the upcoming Greatest Rivalries: Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart DVD release.
Note: The videos will not play outside of North America.

Raw Rating, Linda Breaks Campaign Rule? WWE Has Spent 6 Figures On Scott Hall
AppId is over the quota
- This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw drew a 3.1 cable rating on the USA Network.
- The Federal Election Commission has ruled that Linda McMahon violated election laws during her 2010 campaign by appearing in a WWE commercial for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation. It’s been decided that no action will be taken, but it could be something her opponents pick up on.
- As part of the promotion for the ESPN E:60 profile on Scott Hall’s drug and alcohol addiction it’s been revealed that WWE have spent “in the six figures” to get Hall help through various rehab stints.
“It’s the most amount of money we’ve spent on anyone,” says Stephanie McMahon.
“I just want Scott to get help and to decide for himself that he needs help. It makes me sad. I don’t want anybody to pass away prematurely or otherwise really. Scott was an incredibly talented performer, larger than life, charismatic. He’s a father, he’s a friend. I’m sure he means a lot to a lot of people and it would be a shame for him to pass away.”
On the WWE Wellness Policy McMahon notes:
“In addition to that substance and abuse program, we also have cardiovascular testing, we do blood checks, we do physicals, we do concussion testing akin to the NFL. We’re really about maintaining the health and well-being of our superstars because without our superstars we don’t have a business. The superstars of today — they’re businessmen. They realize the healthier they maintain their bodies, the better they are going to perform, the more money they’re going to make. They’re more about playing with their iPads and gaming devices than they are about going out and hanging out at the bars.”
Morrison Leaving WWE? Spike TV Releases TNA Supporter, Raw Rating, Jim Duggan Biography
AppId is over the quota
- According to the Wrestling Observer John Morrison may be on the outs with WWE. His contract expires soon and it may not be renewed.
A sign that he’s currently in the doghouse was his loss to Christian in about 60 seconds and the subsequent assault from by Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger.
Although he does have his supporters, the feeling is that he’s paying for the heat garnered by his girlfriend and former Diva Melina. Former Diva Maria echoed this statement during an interview on AfterBuzzTV.com with Lilian Garcia, saying that he’s distracted by outside complications:
“I think it’s a lot of complications of outside stuff. I think that a lot of times they go with who’s going to be there, who’s always going to be there, who’s going to be the easiest. He’s very easy and I love him to pieces, but I think it’s outside complications. I think that’s why.”
A fan wrote the following to Melina on Twitter:
“Will you stand trial for killing your bf’s career? #prayforJoMo.”
She replied saying: “The WWE did it. I never did anything but stand by him through thick and thin. We should all be so lucky as to have someone like that in our lives.”
“John worked his ass off and did everything he was told. The blame shouldn’t be put on me. Blame the WWE.”
- Spike TV have released Brian Diamond, who was the Senior Vice President of Sports and Specials. Diamond was reportedly one of the main supporters for TNA programming, so it will be interesting to see if his replacement has the same enthusiasm.
- This week’s episode of WWE Monday night Raw drew a 3.24 cable rating on the USA Network.
- “Hacksaw: The Jim Duggan Story” written by Duggan and Scott Williams, is set for a April of 2012 release. The autobiography is being published through Triumph Books.

- According to PWInsider.com The Great Khali may be done with the WWE and headed back to India to pursue acting. His contract is expiring soon and he has been written out of storylines by selling an injury from Mark Henry.

- This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw drew a 3.05 cable rating on the USA Network.
- CM Punk wrote the following on Twitter after the Raw walkout:
“I think a lot of people are missing the point. Fans and coworkers alike. Walking out is a p—y move. There’s a huge difference in what I did. I want change, and I can’t change s–t from my couch. I’m in the fox hole. I’m getting it done. I stayed to fight and I’m fighting for change. You can protest, violently or peacefully without actually showing up. Walking out isn’t a solution at least not one that I’ve ever seen work. Hold ‘em up. Make them change. Don’t just walk out, or lay down. Fight. This goes for fans as well. Bored? Don’t like John Cena? Want more Zack Ryder? Show up and be heard. Don’t be a p—y and just tweet about it.
“I want change, and I’ll stand and fight for it even if I’m alone. Popular or unpopular, I could care less. Take your voting and shove it. Actions speaks louder than words. Except mine. My words are pretty awesome. No think about all that, and hopefully you’ll get it. #fight”
[So.....Occupy Wallstreet!]
- Although the specifics are now known, Hulk Hogan has signed a new deal with TNA.

Impact Rating, Daniel Bryan On A&E, Steve Austin On John Cena, Politician Praises WWE
AppId is over the quota
- This week’s episode of Impact Wrestling on Spike TV drew a 1.14 rating.
- WWE star Daniel Bryan will be appearing on A&E’s “Disaster Guy” today at at Noon ET. The show focuses on Steve Frasher, who has spent a lifetime rebuilding houses that the elements have destroyed..
Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and fires are no match for Steve.
- Steve Austin shared his thoughts on John Cena during a recent interview with the UK Daily Star:
“When I look at that company right now, John Cena is the guy who anchors it all. Some people get mad because they feel like WWE shove it down your throat, but he’s the main guy! Whether you love to hate him or you love to love him – you gotta respect him.
“I have a lot of respect for John – he’s been carrying the company for several years and he comes into work every day with a smile on his face and does all the promotional work and never complains.
“If you’re going to have him chase you must have a heel worthy of chasing – no disrespect to Del Rio – but Cena is so far higher up on that ladder. Unless you give him a viable heel to chase he should have the belt.
“I tell you John Cena has had some great matches with some great guys – sometimes his body of work gets overlooked, the guy has proven himself over and over again. I call a spade a spade and John has done a tremendous job and he’s got a few years left yet. He’ll keep riding that lightening bolt.
“All those young guys do not have the experience, have not had the maturation process – if I was new guy in that company I’d be charging forward trying to take the bull by the horns.”
- Press Release:

“Bullying is not a rite of passage and no child should be afraid to go to school. An unsafe school environment, including one made unsafe by daily bullying and harassment, leads to increased absences and decreased graduation rates,” she told Congress.

Raw Rating, Ryder Tired With Youtube Show, Angelo Mosca Biography, Mania Tickets
AppId is over the quota
- This weeks special supershow episode of WWE Raw drew a 2.98 cable rating on the USA Network.
- In the latest edition of WWE Magazine, Zack Ryder says he’s getting tired of his Youtube Show:
“Well, I’m tired of it already, so it wouldn’t surprise me if some viewers get tired of it soon. Honestly, I can only do this show for so long before the charm kinda wears off. Once I get to where I want to be on TV, then there will be no need for the show, and that’s a good thing.”
- Slam! Wrestling has an article up looking at the upcoming biography of old school wrestler Angelo Mosca:
The author, Steve Milton, who has 20 different books to his credit, said he admired Mosca for “the bravery that it took” to “reveal his soul” in the book.
“He’s full of stories, a lot of fun. It’s nerve-wracking in a way because he’s such an icon and I wasn’t sure I was going to get it right,” said Milton. “The big thing was trying to find his voice.
“His voice is so distinctive and you know that it had to be a first-person book. It couldn’t be me writing about him. It had to be first-person. He had to be telling the stories, he’s a storyteller. Anybody else who wrote it in the third-person, to me, you’d end up like Psychology 101, you’d be analyzing all the time, given his background. I was surprised at many of the things in his past, and most of the readers will be.”
Indeed, readers will not only learn about wrestling and football, but also about Mosca’s rough childhood, dealing with racism as the son of a white father, an African American mother, in their home outside Boston.
At the book launch, Mosca cracked wise about working with Milton. “We spent a year and a half together, almost in bed!” he joked. “I never thought I would be so enthused about writing it”
