HBK Banged Up At No Mercy, Early SD! Rating Is In, & More
? Shawn Michaels was pretty banged up after his match last night but didn't suffer any serious injuries.
? In an idea of what things will be like for The CW Network without Friday Night Smackdown, the network drew a 1.1. rating and 2 share on Friday. "Everybody Hates Chris" and "The Game" both drew a 1.3 rating. That is less than half of what Smackdown had been averaging on the network. There still is no word on what the rating was for Smackdown's debut on MyNetworkTV. The feeling is that numbers will be a bit hard to track from this point on considering the show is airing in different timeslots nationwide.
? Smackdown looks to have done a 2.4 fast national rating on Friday night. WWE is very happy with that number as it is by far the highest rated show in the history of MyNetworkTV. It's going to be tough to get a good read on the SD! number with the move to MyNetwork TV. The ratings system with that show and network is a complete mess right now. We'll do our best though.
