Does CM Punk Equal Ratings?, Sylvan Grenier, NWE In France, Flair

The quarter hour rating for the CM Punk vs. Kane match on RAW this past Monday was a 3.59, making it the highest rated segment of the entire show (other than the overrun which did a 3.81). The quarter hours right before and after the CM Punk match did 3.13 ratings, meaning the Punk match caused a spike of viewers. That is a good sign for his title reign although they could easily put the strap on Batista this Sunday

SLAM! has an interview up with former WWE wrestler Sylvan Grenier at https://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/.

NWE, the promotion has featured the Ultimate Warrior's return last month, has scheduled two shows for France. They will have a show in Caen on October 24th and a show in Reims on October 25th. Some of the names being advertised for the show include Orlando Jordan, Chris Masters, Rikishi, Gangrel, and Juventud Guerrera.

For those who asked, Ric Flair's "farewell" speech that he gave to the live crowd in Charlotte at the Smackdown taping on Tuesday will not air as part of Smackdown on Friday.
