People were tuning in to see where Madcap Moss and Shotzi would be drafted.

It also had a main event headlined by their hottest program. The Jey/Sami singles match a few weeks ago did great numbers as well. I'm sure a draft helped but that story has been a consistent draw all year.

It should be worth nothing Fox just cancelled it's top rated Series 9-11 (It was picked up seconds later by ABC)
Should be interesting to see how this plays out for for WWE and Live Sports during their next renewals because the business model for tv is starting to shift into cost reduction

By comparison, each hour of Smackdown is costing FOX less than 2 million dollars. |

By comparison, each hour of Smackdown is costing FOX less than 2 million dollars. I watched one episode of 9/11 and I can’t believe that’s all it cost to make each episode. I can see why ABC picked it up, pretty decent show that people will definitely watch. |
