Weekend WWE & TNA (NYC) Attendance Figures, Latest Ratings

  • Here are some recent attendance figures for WWE and TNA this past weekend:

    WWE Attendance:

    Figures for September 5 in Rochester, NY (Supershow) were not known.
    September 6 in Jamestown, NY (Supershow) drew around 4,000 fans.
    September 7 in Cleveland, OH (Unforgiven) drew around 9,500 fans.

    TNA Attendance:

    – September 5 in Westbury, NY drew 1,000 fans. This was a drop from the last time when they drew 3,000.
    – September 6 in Manhattan, NY drew only 850 fans. This was the show that had ticket problems through Ticketmaster. They drew much stronger in the city last time. In comparison, Ring of Honor sold out that same venue so many times that they moved to the Hammerstein Ballroom and drew 2,150 and 1,800 fans.
    – September 7 in Albany, NY drew 1,300 fans. While that sounds like a decent crowd, TNA ran this event in a 13,000 seat arena so it didn't look very good.

    Overall, this return New York tour was not considered a success compared to the last one as reports from most shows were they that were not as strong, which is strange since most TNA house shows always get positive reviews.

  • Here is a breakdown for the latest WWE and TNA television ratings courtesy of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

    WWE Friday Night Smackdown on 8/29 drew a final 2.3 broadcast rating with 3.70 million viewers. The only drew a 2.8 Hispanic rating with 526,000 viewers total.

    WWE Monday Night Raw on 9/1 drew a final 2.93 cable rating with 4.54 million viewers. While a drop was expected due to Labor Day, last year's show on the same holiday drew a 3.64 rating.

    ECW on Sci Fi on 9/2 drew a final 1.4 cable rating with a 2.05 million viewers.

    TNA iMPACT! on 9/4 drew a final 1.0 cable rating (or 1.03) with 1.4 million viewers. While this was down slightly from last week's number, the assumption was that TNA was thrilled with the number going up against the NFL season opener. The show did a 0.77 in males 18-34 and 0.77 in males 18-49.
