ECW Rating Stars Strong, Diminishes Throughout Hour

With Mick Foley calling out Ric Flair to begin this week's ECW show, fans were as interested as they've been in the product all month.

Led by such a strong opening segment, this week's rating came in at a 2.3. The first forty five minutes notched a 2.2 rating, while the fourth quarter posted a 2.1 and the overrun did a 2.5.

Surprisingly, the main event ladder match did not lead to a major spike in the numbers. Perhaps this was due to the announcement to start the hour that Kurt Angle - sorry, The Wrestling Machine, Kurt Angle - wouldn't be participating in it.
