----This past Saturday’s show did a total overall rating of 3.5 [58,762 viewers] making it the highest rated program since Thanksgiving weekend. The show opened up with over 50,000 viewers and continued to climb until the 4th quarter. The 4th Quarter took a tumble losing over 17,000 viewers. The only thing I can see is that fans had already seen enough of Jerry Lawler and just turned off the show. The “What Was Memphis Watching†number [highest rated program in the wrestling time slot] was down 46%, but still scoring over 170,000 viewers. The show overall did about 8,000 more viewers than average and I guess that is pretty good for stuff over 2 years old.
