Can totally see this being another "1-hour ME and the real ME bring the show up" show...
But wonder how many fans turned off after some braintrust opened the show with Garett Bischoff?

It's really, really common for ratings to drop or gain significantly regardless of the show being awesome. I haven't watched this weeks however I will be watching this weeks episode on Sunday on Channel.

Yeah, it's always like that, no surprise. They're still on their average, that's good.

150k less than last week? That ain't good.

It's still better than the entire last year's ratings, to be fair. And that's a good sign.

Why is this? Was something else on? Was it the adverts?

Read again the key words in that: two FULL commercial breaks.

Plus, it's only first two mins of the tag title action, you can see new people coming in to see the great end of it. It upped for .25.

It's obvious that Hernandez botched the ratings.
