WWE Receives Bad News With Saturday Night's Main Event

**rko4life** · 03-20-2006, 02:08 AM

WWE Saturday Night's Main Event received a 3.4 fast national rating. This rating indicates that displaying wrestling on a major network did nothing to increase the interest in the product. The two-hour show caused NBC to place last among the four channels offering national programming Saturday night.

The expectations inside the wrestling industry was that the show would receive a much higher rating, and anything below a 5.0 would be consider a disappointment. However, those within the TV industry had much lower expectations, and the 3.4 fast national rating is below what they expected.

This is bad news for WWE, who were looking to secure more TV time on NBC. WWE sources are most likely going to attribute the low rating to the NCAA tournament.
