USA's "WWE Raw" is back on the chart after falling off in recent weeks, and it was quite a comeback. The show drew almost 10 million viewers Monday night, easily cable's ratings winner. It was, incoincidentally, the massively successful live wrestling series' 1,000th episode since it premiered in 1993.

Hmm 3.8? That's a nice little jump from what they've been averaging. I knew they weren't gonna make a huge leap in one episode no matter how big it was but they put on a wildly entertaining show in front of a good audience so that should give them a shot to keep some momentum going and hopefully break the 4.0 barrier by the end of the year. It's a start.

I wonder what the Charlie Sheen live tweeting thing would have done for ratings. He definitely would have gotten a good amount of people who wouldn't regularly watch the show to flip over and watch with him.

I doubt it...

I doubt it...

At LEAST some of his followers would have flipped over sitting at home on a Monday Night on twitter to see all the craziness Sheen is tweeting about.

The man had almost 8 million followers. It would be ridiculous to think that there would be some people reading his live tweets and flipping to Raw because of it.
