To me there is something bordering on beautiful about a brotherhood of big tough men who pretended to hurt one another for a living instead of actually doing it. Any idiot can hurt someone.” In his own words, Bret Hart’s honest, perceptive, startling account of his life in and out of the pro wrestling ring.”

The Ratings: Memphis Wrestling TV 9.15.07

----Four out of the last five weeks Memphis Wrestling has scored in the same range as this past Saturday’s show, which scored a 3.0 [50,871 viewers] rating overall. Should the promotion be happy with a constant audience watching their show?? Yes, but the trends within the show the last two weeks have not been good. The first quarter has been the highest rated quarter and then they drop off. The show started with over 62,000 viewers, but when it was time for it to go off – they dropped over 20,000 viewers in the course of the show. The match that seems to have lost the most viewers was The Whites vs Starr/Lexx with that quarter dropping over 13,000 viewers. I am saying that because the viewers seem to stay for the finish of the Triple Threat and heel interview of DK/Dotson. I heard a lot of criticism about Mr. White pinning Dustin Starr, but I thought it was funny. If they keep doing that angle, it will mean something. Give Starr some mic time talking about his whole future with White and it could be a good feud. The Andy Kaufman quarter even lost over 6,000 viewers. Last October an Andy Kaufman segment had over 80,000 people watching it, but also had a drop of over 5,000.
