Here is a breakdown for the latest WWE and TNA television ratings courtesy of The Wrestling Observer & Figure Four Newsletters:
TNA Impact on 10/23, which was the live show from Las Vegas, drew a final 1.1 cable rating (or a 1.13) with 1.6 million viewers. The total viewership was up slightly from what the show normally averages making it the most watched-show in a while. The last quarter hour of the show did a strong 1.31 rating.
ECW on Sci Fi on 10/21 drew a final 1.3 cable rating. No word on total viewers.
WWE Monday Night Raw on 10/20 drew a final 2.9 cable rating (or a 2.93) with 4.25 million viewers.
WWE Friday Night Smackdown on 10/17 drew a final 2.0 broadcast rating (or a 2.02) with 3.4 million viewers. This put MyNetworkTV at sixth pace among the networks for the night, beating out The CW Network that drew a 1.1 rating. The show this week jumped to a 2.1 rating with 3.6 million viewers. However, the days of averaging 4.2 to 4.3 million viewers appears to be over at least for now - especially with the number of homes having MyNetworkTV dropping by 5 percent. Despite the drop in audience, had the show jumped to WGN instead of MyNetworkTV they would be drawing a lot worse.
