Hour 1: 1.589 million (0.39)
Hour 2: 1.656 million (0.43)
Hour 3: 1.532 million (0.41)
Average: 1.592 million (0.41)

Didn't do a gigantic amount for the show but hey, wrestling weddings continue to draw enough for the third hour to beat the first and to just beat out last week in both viewership and the demo.

At least with the wedding, people knew they were getting something significant in the main event as opposed to some match where you know you're getting a BS finish.

Yeah, because when I want to watch a combat sport, I'd rather see a wedding than a fight.

Wait, what?

Well, I believe that many viewers don't watch pro wrestling because it's a combat sport, but rather for the theatrics. So this doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, personal preference here, but I have never, ever understood the appeal of wrestling weddings. Macho Man and Elizabeth’s was at least done like it was for real and then served as a springboard for the Jake Roberts feud afterwards, and I guess the Test/Stephanie one kind of worked since it was the first really visible one since then and came with the big Triple H swerve so at least it had novelty, but the rest is “someone will interrupt, someone will get embarrassed, it won’t actually mean anything for the stories or characters involved but I guess you’ll get to see them in tuxedos and fancy dresses.” Don’t get it at all.

…ok, in fairness, I DO get it for meme potential, since without a wrestling wedding angle we never get “IS IT FRIGGIN’ HAWT IN HERE, OR IS IT JUST ME?”
