Tons Of WWE & TNA Ratings & Event Attendance Figures Inside Published by Ryan Clark on 10/03/2008 at 12:00 PM
Here is a breakdown for the latest WWE and TNA television ratings courtesy of The Wrestling Observer & Figure Four Newsletters:
TNA iMPACT! on 9/25 drew a final 1.1 cable rating (or 1.07 rating) with 1.4 million viewers. The show drew a 0.81 in males 18-34 and 0.93 in males 35-49. Quarter hours were 1.10, 1.04, 1.07, 1.10, 1.09, 1.08, 1.04 and 1.01.
ECW on Sci Fi on 9/23 drew a final 1.2 cable rating with 1.69 million viewers.
WWE Monday Night Raw on 9/22 drew a final 3.1 cable rating (or 3.05 rating) with 4.74 million viewers. The show did a 2.80 in males 18-49 with 64% overall male viewers for the show. The average viewer was 35. Ratings in males 18-49 were up 28%.
WWE Friday Night Smackdown on 9/19 drew a final 2.3 broadcast rating with 4.08 million viewers.
Here are some recent WWE & TNA attendance figures:
9/27 in Miami, FL (house show) drew only 700 fans.
9/28 in Lakeland, FL only drew 600 fans in a 10,000 seat building.
House show business for TNA has not been doing well for the last few months, even with lots of local promotion. It was surprising to many to see them draw such a small crowd in a major market like Miami. Lakeland isn't far from Orlando where they tape Impact as well so that low number was also said to be surprising.
9/24 in Bilbao, Spain (Raw house show): no figures.
9/24 in Lisbon, Portugal (Smackdown/ECW house show) drew 4,500 fans in a 12,000 seat arena.
9/25 in Madrid, Spain (Raw house show): no figures.
9/25 in Barcelona, Spain (Smackdown/ECW house show) drew 5,000 fans in a 12,000 seat arena.
9/26 in Barcelona, Spain (Raw house show) drew 7,000 fans.
9/26 in Innsbruck, Austria (Smackdown/ECW house show): no figures.
9/27 in Paris, France (Raw house show) drew a sell out of 13,000 fans.
9/27 in Munich, Germany (Smackdown/ECW house show) drew 7,000 fans.
9/29 in Stevens Point, WI (Smackdown house show) drew 2,500 fans.
The biggest thing that was taken from this tour was that the recent boom in business in Spain appears to be over. In the past, first day ticket sales had sold out right away and crowds struggled this time around. The only show that drew the strongest attendance was the sell out in Paris on 9/27 that drew a $1.1 million gate. That was the only sell out of the entire tour. While the tour was not considered a failure as they charged higher ticket prices and could still draw solid gates on attendance of 4,000 or more, it was nothing close to previous tours in that part of the world.
