– ECW on Sci Fi on 10/14 drew a final 1.1 cable rating (or a 1.14) with 1.5 million viewers.
– WWE Monday Night Raw on 10/13 drew a final 3.1 cable rating (or a 3.07) with 4.57 million viewers. The average viewer was 38 and 64% male. The show did a 2.43 in males 18-49 and 1.31 in women 18-49.
– WWE Friday Night Smackdown on 10/10 drew a final 2.1 broadcast rating with 3.5 million viewers. This was up from the previous week that did a 1.9 rating with 3.2 million viewers.
