It was a 3.0. The Raw rating for that night is a major red herring because it was the last ever Nitro and had a one-hour simulcast.

 

Raw did a 4.7 with a 4.1 first hour and a 5.3 second hour. However, during that first hour, Nitro was doing a 2.9 with exactly the same content. If you include the TNT viewers, the RAW broadcast effectively averaged a 6.1 rating.

Was that indicative of the ratings over the year? Anyone know why it was so different? It seems especially odd when you consider the build up to WM17 main event was perfectly executed (bar the whole Debra thing.)

Here's the average by month showing the drop off throughout 2000/01:

 

2000 - Jan - 6.5

2000 - Feb - 5.8

2000 - Mar - 6.4

2000 - Apr - 6.6

2000 - May - 6.6

2000 - Jun - 6.2

2000 - Jul - 6.2

2000 - Aug - 5.8

2000 - Sep - 5.3

2000 - Oct - 5.2

2000 - Nov - 5.0

2000 - Dec - 4.8

2001 - Jan - 5.1

2001 - Feb - 4.9

2001 - Mar - 4.7

2001 - Apr - 5.2

I just watched that Rock Vs Cena Mini Documentary Show that I recorded the other day. I thought it was pretty decent considering all of the other crap that was actually on TV this evening, except for the annoying bullshit that the other wrestlers were saying. I don't understand why they can't just say what they want with projects like that?

Is it as good as the Rock/Austin documentary from WM19? I loved that one.

NO! NO! NO! That Mania of WrestleMania is better than Beyond the Mat in my opinion. Excellent documentary. One of the very best things WWE has ever done. Having the voice over provided by Jesse Ventura is especially good work.

I have honestly never seen or heard of this. I'll need to try get my hands on it.
