It was pathetic.... This should prove to McMahon that a ECW/Smackdown taping in the same arena isn't going to work...... ECW doesnt' look nor feel right in a big arena....small venues were the crowd is more invovled/hyped = ECW!! I am so happy this show was horrible...hopefully the rating is too..

Oh the memories. My remote control got a work out on Monday nights... Exciting times indeed...

Pathetic.. Why would anyone want to pay 40 bucks for a WWE PPV?? F*cking unbelievable....

Thanks.. Good read.

I expected they would end up on Sci Fi Channel. It's own by NBC Universal which also owns USA Network...

Is Coach doing commentary with J.R. and King...???

I like The Coach as the heel announcer......I actualy like him as an announcer PERIOD... BTW, the new announce team was actually starting to get some chemistry going....and now Kevin Dunn breaks them up.../??

Chris Kreski lost control of the creative team in October 2000(but remained with the company til early 01)......that's when she got control of the creative team... I don't know what Vince was thinking about when he demoted Kreski...

Nice article.... Benjamin seems like a very good person to hang out with...

He did a very good job at Wrestlemania IMO...I think he is learning pretty fast... Highlights... And it was also very interesting for me because I’ve never called just one match on a show before. It took a tremendous amount of pressure off of me. It gave me the opportunity to prep for only one match in the new WWE story-telling style I’m trying to master. I’ve gone back and watched the match probably three times now, and I think I was story-telling, and not doing play-by-play, which is what WWE wants from me. Overall I think it was the perfect way to make my WrestleMania debut. I think it was better for me to call just one match so I could put all of my focus into that match. And for the hardcore wrestling fans, and for the ECW fans, they probably felt it was the best match of the night. I think what I’m most excited about is being involved with all of the new media – being involved with the video on your cell phones, the on-demand channel WWE 24/7, new programming on WWE.com – I think I’m as excited as a marketer, which is what I am at heart, about the new media as I am about being on RAW.

Monsoon could too...but who the hell is Solie and Russell.....

NOOOOOOO..... Orton is one of the reasons I watch Smackdown....

I forgot it was held on a Thursday...I was watching one of the old Survivor Series PPV and they mention it was Thursday....

Affirative Action is a bitch. Well they should hire more black announcers......and that problem would be solved...99% of the announcers are white... Why the hell is everyone picking on Coach anyway.....oh yeah I forgot he's black....

Its their main target...but its a market which is hard to get...when they start getting 6 or 7's in ratings.....they have the 18-35 demographic hooked to the product

2.9 for SNME Here is the rankings for the night... 1. CBS 2. FOX 3. ABC 4. NBC Zap2it Note: Ratings information is taken from fast national data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are preliminary and subject to change, particularly in the case of live events

True...but NBC probaly thought they would atleast beat a movie and reality tv show...and place in second for the night...

You know they will blame NCAA for the bad rating What was the expected rating? It's a Saturday. SNME use to do above a 8 or 9 in ratings the last time it was on NBC...

I actually enjoyed it....it is World Wrestling Entertainment....and they did that tonight...

Well true..... ...its "sports entertainment"....but this is suppose to be a major event....well supposedly

Since a majority of NBC shows are broadcasting in HD(I think all the major sports are in HD)....will WWE be the only sports program not to appear in HD on network TV??? Of course if the show isn't in HD...I shouldn't be surprise....their DVD's are not even release in widescreen format...

Well if anyone wants to do well in the wrestling business(financially) be sure to marry the boss daughter...which also includes a jet... I wonder how much Cole makes, if Coachman is making 175K

I was thinking about this the other day....how it would be interesting to see Bischoff back in the broadcast booth...

If Stacy goes back to WWE....I would be very very shock.... I expect her to follow the steps of The Rock and just leave for Hollywood and never comeback....she's officially a mainstream star after her dig on Dancing with the Stars..... Triple H and Ric Flair losing 100K people should tell every person in management something...

This is good for both stations...... The CW looks to be the most diverse network of any of the big 4......
