ECW Rating Is In, DSW Update, Hogan/Big Show, More

ECW scored a 1.5 cable rating this week.

On the heels of WWE pulling out of the association with Deep South Wrestling, Jody Hamilton will be shutting down the promotion and the school. They needed WWE's financial support to stay operational. It looks as if Steve Keirn's school would be the leading candidate to replace DSW.

As of today the 4/27 Memphis show with Hulk Hogan vs. Paul Wight had sold 1,500 tickets for $70,875. Also, the Memphis TV show rating dropped to a 1.8 rating, the lowest of this year. The show lost viewers every quarter, and is way down from the regular rating of 2.8.
