It went down. Too bad, because it was a pretty good show.

At least they're doing consistent ratings now. I hear they've been thrilled with the 1.1's and 1.2's.

It's better than the .8's they would usually get after a 1.0+. Hopefully soon 1.1 will be consiered a low rating for them if they play their cards right.

It's funny that in TNA a 1.1 or a 1.2 rating is great, but if ECW gets a 1.3 or a 1.4 it's the end of the world. I understand fully that TNA is building it's audience while ECW lost over 50% of theirs in 13 months, but still.

ECW got a debut of 2.7 (A cameo packed debacle.) ECW getting a 1.3 makes me worry, because they may change things up and ruin the show. I've really enjoyed it the last few months.

ECW spiked with a 3.2 on the episode the week before Punk's debut IIRC. I remember because Keller predicted that Batista/Big Show along with Punk's debut would pull a 3.5. In reality it only did a high two-something.

They brought in the big guns to pop ratings for a few months then let the talent build themselves up. Plus, it wasn't really low until recently. I think it has to do somewhat with you-know-who who was apart of the brand as going to be it's champion.

I understand fully that TNA is building it's audience while ECW lost over 50% of theirs in 13 months, but still. It's not weird; sponsors MUCH prefer a brand who's numbers go up (even slowly, in some cases; as long as there's progress, they're happy), and would likely feel ill at the idea of a brand who's numbers are chopped in half in about a year. And, as you said, it's the difference between building an audience, and outright losing one. That said, I predict that in three weeks time, Big Daddy V will bring ECW back to the promised land single-handedly.

ECW will likely pick back up, once they people Lashley scared off come back.

Hopefully it put Vince's ego in check that putting himself and his boring-as-hell-pile-o-roids Lashley all over the screen did nothing but lower ratings.
Now they need to add some depth. I'm tired of the same guys fighting each other all the time.

I'm tired of the same guys fighting each other all the time. Even if it usually does make for great matches, I agree, We need more variety. Have Stevie come to Boogeyman's defense, to take on Striker to even the odds.

I'd be behind about anything that gives Stevie a shot at non-jobber status again. Have Stevie come to Boogeyman's defense, to take on Striker to even the odds.

I love it. I do. TNA marks get the last laugh. Thier show goes up and Vinces goes down. ECW did one thing for which I am greatful though. They killed WSX quickly

TNA has never had a higher rating than 1.1. Yes they have. Just recently they got a 1.2.

With the new ECW, WWE expected fans to watch just because of the name. They didn't produce the CONTENT that fans wanted. Furthermore, they underestimated the importance of RVD, Kurt Angle, Big Show, and Sabu to the brand.
Now, because of all the mistakes (some caused by wrestlers, but most caused by WWE itself), ECW has to be rebuilt from the ground up. It has some potential, but I have a bad feeling that when money becomes tight within WWE (and it eventually will), ECW will be the first thing done away with. I'd rather see the brand succeed than go out in such an ignoble way.

They killed WSX quickly You actually owe that to mtv producers who cancel anything in the middle of it's season if it's not a huge, earth shattering draw. Fox works in a similar fashion.
