    ECW scores massive rating...

    The debut edition of ECW on the Sci-Fi channel pulled in a 2.7 rating reports Dave Scherer of PWinsider.com (2.8 as reported by Dave Meltzer on WrestlingObserver.com).

    Regardless of a 2.7 or 2.8, the rating is considered a major success given how Sci-Fi has never held a wrestling show ever and for Sci-Fi's everyday ratings. Members of the WWE are reportedly happy about the number.

    Do you guys realize this is about 2 points higher than anything TNA has ever gotten? And Sci Fi isn't offered in the entire country either.... I had no idea ECW would be so popular.

      lol...only because the name "ECW" after the show they put on last night, They be lucky to reach that again unless the ECW fans stay around for that stuff.

      They are going to need to put on an awesome show next Tuesday because this first show was a major dissapointment for true ECW fans and their standards.

        Unfortunately if they don't move the show to it's own venue with real ECW fans and let Heyman completely book and write the show (without WWE influence)....this great 2.7 rating will turn to a 0.5 real soon.

        It's a shame too that it got a great 2.7 rating, because they clearly reached a lot of people....than proceded to make a disgrace of ECW.

          Well its first week the XFL scored huge ratings as well and we saw what happened from there. This news is encouraging but ultimately meaningless.

            Alot of WWE fans turned in, but will they next week? Alot of smarks were curious, but they know what they saw lasty night. What was the rating for the first quarter? Did they go down? They probably did. And this show was plugged to holy hell, TNA didn't have that.

            I'm happy about the rating, but next week is going to tell us alot more.

                  I know but thing is, I don't watch those shows. To me, there is nothing on at 10PM on Tuesdays.

                    2.7, that's good for the SciFi channel. But it's not good for the WWE when it comes to next week and they score a 1.5 if not less.

                    I hope they realize that last nights show started out strong w/ the RVD segment but ended up being really crappy. The whole Zombie thing even though it was a rib towards scifi channel, that was such a waste. That could have been used to help put someone over and why o why was Justin Credible a former ECW World Champ fed to Kurt Angle? That made no sense as they should have been building him up, but that's not what they planned to do.

                    I feel like the battle royal was so out of place since they just had one a week ago. There was no need for another one.

                      Come on, the Zombie thing was one of the funniest angles I've seen in my 20+ years of wrestling fandom. Sure, the rest of the show blew, aside from a mediocre open, but man, the Zombie had me in tears.


                      They'd better bring him back!

                      Also, I'd like to see Sandman continue to crush comical supernatural characters. They've gotta cut promos as good as the Zombie's though, that's a MUST.


                      The Werewolf is next, I bet!!! BRING IT ON, CREATURES OF THE DARK, our cane-swinging bada$$ has something for you!

                            Please...this show will still pull a 1.5+ even with the Shield and SVU. And even if it pulls a 1.0 its still the highest rated show on Sci Fi so they will renew it.

                              Why? This show isnt Raw and isnt on a non cable network like Smackdown. WWE will be dissapointed with a drop to a 1.5 but thats still an increase from what Heat and Velocity were doing when they were on. All Scifi and WWE want is this show to pull a 1.5 or better and they wil do that for this entire 12 week run.
