More News on This Week’s Record Low WWE Raw Rating and If “Cord Cutting” is Responsible for the Poor Number

June 2, 2017

As we noted earlier this week, the Memorial Day edition of WWE Raw garnered the second lowest rating in the history of the show, second only to the Raw show which aired during the first Trump vs Clinton Presidential debate. Furthermore, it was noted only one episode of WCW Monday Nitro drew a lower rating than Raw this week, and that show aired on December 11th, 2000.

While some people are blaming the recent low WWE TV ratings on cord cutting, The Wrestling Observer is reporting the rating is based on the percentage of homes that get the USA Network, so cord cutting doesn’t factor into the rating.

The Observer also noted that the USA Network is available in 91.8 million homes, while it was available in 92.7 million homes a year ago, a drop of 1%. This year’s RAW rating was down 19.1% from last year’s Memorial Day episode, which scored a 2.19 rating and averaged 3.222 million viewers.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
