Kurt Angle Mark 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2003 By Wade Keller "Yesterday's Smackdown drew a 3.5 rating (6 share), up from last week's season low 2.6 rating. The 52 week average for Smackdown is 3.4, so this week's rating is slightly above that. The NFL football game on ABC drew an overall rating of 12.9. Last week's Smackdown was preempted in several markets and went up against the MTV Music Awards, which draws from Smackdown's prime demographic of male teens. In fact, this week's Smackdown increased 57 percent among male teens (3.0 last week, 4.7 this week), which spotlights the effect MTV had on last week's viewership. The only show to beat Smackdown this week among male 12-34 and all teens was NFL Football on ABC. The highest quarter hour last night was for Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle in Q5. It drew a 4.0 rating."

That's a pretty accurate description. UT's the most over face on the roster. I'd say his appeal is pretty wide range. Plus, he's been working great lately. If he feuded with benoit for the title while Angle and Eddy feuded with Lesnar and Show... ratings AND great matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2003 This is good news, but I'm saddened that Raw is getting high ratings and Bad Blood outsold Vengeance in buyrates, though. =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2003 well, I cant talk since I was able to watch both Smackdown and the football game, but the first hour of the game was better than the last hour of Smackdown... the Rest of the game sucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That might be true but NYC and DC are HUGE markets... NYC tends to be wwe's main market...for obvious reasons of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2003 So is WWE gonna promise nudity in the first 30 minutes of Raw the rest of the season, once the "I want him right at the beginning of the show" dies after about 4 weeks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2003 Taker's over and has good matches, even I'll admit that, but his gimmick sucks and is boring as shit. At least I think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
