Pulled ECW from TV Match Ratings

Mar 2

Since the WWE decided to shut down the ECW promotion, it didn’t make sense to continue to include the ECW numbers with the Raw, Smackdown, and TNA brands on my TV Match Ratings page. Comparing things like “Total Matches with ‘Thumbs Up’ Ratings” between a promotion that is producing new content every week and one that isn’t is like comparing (bruised) apples to (squashed) oranges.

So I took a snapshot of the match ratings up through the the last week of ECW and moved them to a separate page. You can find the ratings from 7/7/2009 to 2/19/2010 on the TV Match Ratings Including ECW page.

Below are links to some wrestling-related blog entries & articles that I found interesting during the month of February 2010.

StuntGrannie: WWE Kills Survivor Series — Vince McMahon announced during the stockholders’ conference call today that WWE would no longer use the Survivor Series PPV name, stating it has “outlasted its usage” and is “obsolete.”
The Geek Revolution: Farewell, ECW — The last episode (ever) of ECW aired on Feb 16th. The promotion has been ECW in name only, but they still could have done a better job with the last episode.
Joe Montana’s Right Arm: The Many Faces of Flair — With the passing of his 61st birthday, take a look at the many faces of “Nature Boy” Ric Flair.

As I run across things, I’m also going to be adding them to my Delicious bookmarks page (http://delicious.com/drdarindavis). You can also find the last 10 of them on the right side of the page towards the bottom.
