- WWE RAW did a 3.2 rating on Monday, down from a 3.7 last week. The drop is largely due to the show airing on Sci-Fi. The show did hours of 3.0 and 3.3. The RAW replay that aired on USA Network at 11PM ET did a 1.0 rating off hours of 1.1 and 0.9.
- The US Open, airing in RAW's Monday night timeslot, did a 1.0 rating.
- ECW On Sci-Fi did a 1.3 rating on Tuesday night, down from a 1.7 the previous week.

I don't understand why USA has to have RAW move over just so they can show Tennis that has worst ratings than ECW.

You won't see many BMW commercials around Raw. BMW ain't gonna pay the big bucks to advertise to what it believes is the trailer park crowd. Its a smaller audience that advertisers are willing to pay more to reach. Same thing with the Dog Show.

The real reason, is that the US Open (and the dog show) has a very long contract with USA that was active long before WWE came back to the network. Not because of perceived higher and lower classes.

Why does USA keep these programs and is more than happy to bump Raw to keep them, even though they draw fractions of the Raw ratings when they've had the opportunities? Advertising. Advertising is what runs the TV world. There's a reason you'll see BMW and diamond commercials during tennis and the Dog show, while Raw will get Stacker and Ax Body spray.
Advertising is the reason that WCW is owned by WWE. Eric Bischoff had a company ready to buy WCW when TNT decided to drop WCW as part of a format change and they decided that WCW did not fit that format, even though it'd draw higher ratings of most of the stuff replacing it. Why would TNT change its format? To draw a more valuable demographic to get better paying advertising. Without a TV deal, Bischoff's deal fell through and Vince bought WCW for a bargain.

You know this may sound funny weird, but I was thinking about how Vince got to buy WCW today.
Wow. Impact didn't look completely horrible this week. Maybe I'll check out the replay on Saturday.FlamesFan2
It was a surprisingly good show. The main event was really entertaining IMO and took up half the show. Unfortunately Pacman Jones made an appearance in the end to 'give someone an autograph' but we only had to hear him speak once or twice.
