ECW on Sci Fi last night scored a 1.3 cable rating based on data compiled by Nielsen Media Research.
Gerweck.net
Sigh.
That show deserved better.

I didn't think it was a good show. I liked the ending, but that's it. Maybe it they ditched Striker and Extreme Expose and stopped with all the damn RECAPS the ratings will improve. ECW also needs to present a product much different in the other brands--it has to offer something you can't see on the Raw and SmackDown. Vince once said Heyman had to change in the way he booked ECW, but now it's Vince who has to change.

John Morrison ruined everything from the opposite end of the show.
Either that or people tuned out when they didn't see the POUUUUNCE.

ECW seriously should stop recapping the hell out of Raw and Smackdown, and just focus on putting on its OWN material. When a third of ECW is devoted to showing us what Cena and Lashley are doing on Raw, it really makes ECW seem unimportant. |

I didnt watch that show in protest of the Great Khali's title win and because I thought Kane was gonna be shafted out of the title match at the Bash.
I'm also starting to think that people might be trying to stop watching wrestling period after the whole Benoit incident.

They need to try a lot harder. The ECW brand should NOT be half farm league and half advertisement for the other brands. |

Still better than TNA ratings.... By about a fraction of a point. Hard to believe the first few shows were in the 2.0-2.5 range. |

Still better than TNA ratings.... It's getting pretty close though. TNA has been 1.0+ for several months other than a week or two. And hit 1.2 a few times. |

ECW got a 1.2 recently too. Something has to change or it will drop to TNA levels.

They shouldnt of brought the ECW name back. It just pisses the whole legacy of ecw away. To be honest I much more enjoyed with Ecw's product in the 90's than I ever enjoyed the attitude rip off era of the ecw in wwf. It was legit attitude although with far smaller production values but much more enjoyable to watchin the mid to late 90's. Why couldnt wwe just bring back shotgun sat. night if they wanted a televised developmental territory. Dont destroy the ecw name and have losers such as the miz, that big daddy v who likes that fat vampire from the first blade movie, and all the rest. It just insults the ecw name. Shame on you VINCE!!! It was all said even before this new "ecw" started, they may bring the name back, but as long as its under the wwe umbrella it will never be considered ecw. 1.3? That show will be kicked off television in a year. if that long....
