Tuesday's edition of ECW on Sci Fi drew a final 1.4 cable rating with a 2.3 share. This was down in a big way from last week's stronger 1.7 rating, despite Vince McMahon appearing at the top of the show.

Hmmm, I guess Lashley doesn't = ratings.

[spongeboobnopants]

Wonder how long before Shane Mac shows up and takes over the role as new evil owner of ECW.

[Michael Coello]

Isn't that the usual numbers for ECW(with the exception of last week)?

[AriadosMan]

Actually, the last number I can remember is 1.5, so it is down.
Then again, I'm not a great follower of WWECW.

[ghettooverlord]

I would LOL @ ECW, but it's pretty mean at this point.

[Square]

isnt Steph the "owner"

[AriadosMan]

I thought Heyman was the owner...he came on Smackdown to try to recruit Batista that one time

Let's review what could possibly be the problem, shall we?

Vince on tv doing a rehash of every feud he's ever done? Got that.

Having a black hole of charisma as champ? Got that.

Making it obvious that the most popular guy ever in the brand (RVD) is gonna get screwed/squashed? Got that.

Putting the most popular guy in the brand currently on tv in a hot angle. Nope, CM Punk wasn't even on tv this week.

Immediately injecting a Heat washout into a feud with the unover champion? As much as I like Snitsky, got that.

Huh, wonder why the ratings are down. I thought Vince was supposed to be a genius.

fear not, for WWECW viewers knew not that the Snitsky would be appearing, so next week expect ratings to be somewhere around the 4.0 mark

Despite, or because of?

[Austin's Middle Finger]

"despite Vince McMahon appearing at the top of the show"

So Vince thought the show would be a smash because he was on it?

[Watts]

I dont get it...

ECW has

Bobby Lashley as a champ...

Matt Striker doing guest spots as the referee...

Matt Striker doing guest time keeping....

and I mean, hell... what else do they need?

I am satisifed...

Oh Big Show, where art thou?

never thought id say this, but i miss big show as champ. At least he brought legitmacy to the belt. As much as his reign sucked (to some), it was still a more popular title and brand.

[Will Has 'Til Five, Ref]

I guess Snitsky doesn't = ratings. *runs from the Cult of Snitsky*

[kickassforumguyme]

I know I'm probably not an internet elite but I thought Show VS RVD was a great match. I give it 2 thumbs up.

[Shy Guy]

good news for tna, bad news for ecw?

You have slamdunked the correct, agree on all counts. I still can't believe they had freaking Holly go-over-clean on Punk and RVD so he can do a meaningless job on free-tv that made-way for freaking Snitsky.

Nice job there brain-trust.
