Backstage reaction to low Raw rating - last time the show drew this low
On Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at 2:48 PM EST PWInsider is reporting that when word got out at yesterdays Smackdown/ECW tapings in Detroit about the very low rating for Raw on Monday (2.8), Vince McMahon reportedly didn't sell the low number to anyone at all and walked around as if nothing was any different. Many people within WWE were said to be shocked to see the number drop below the 3.0 range.
It should be noted that the last time Raw drew a 2.8 rating on a non-holiday was on December 15, 1997.
