Final rating for "Wrestling Society X" debut; show does a strong number
On Wednesday, January 31, 2007 at 5:42 PM EST PWInsider is reporting that last night's "official debut" of Wrestling Society X on MTV drew a final 1.0 cable rating. An audience share has yet to be released at this time. Either way, that is a VERY impressive debut rating for WSX and MTV, especially with the show going head-to-head with the last 30 minutes of ECW on Sci Fi which normally draws in the 1.4-1.5 range.
So while talk and concern within WWE circles yesterday about Wrestling Society X at the Smackdown and ECW tapings in Houston were considered silly at the time, given this impressive debut rating, the show could actually turn out to be legit competition for WWE's ECW on Tuesday night's.
