ECW Rating Is In, SD! Ratings, Former WWE Stars At iMPACT!, More

Last night's edition of ECW on Sci-Fi scored a 1.4 cable rating, slightly down from last week's 1.5 rating.

The 7/25 edition of WWE Friday Night Smackdown drew a final 2.4 broadcast rating. This is the same rating the show drew last week.

Former WWE wrestlers Todd & Michael Shane (The Gymini) were backstage at the iMPACT! taping last night.

To update on reports yesterday regarding the scheduled combined Raw/ECW TV tapings on December 1 in Washington, D.C. at the Verizon Center, I can confirm that this was done to accommodate the international touring travel needed for the company's annual "Tribute to the Troops" return to Iraq. It should be noted that talk of pushing ECW tapings to Monday night's is not a completely dead issue at this point, but it doesn't appear it will be happening anytime soon this year as the rest of the schedule has been pretty much finalized at this point.
