How does it work again? 1 point equals 400 000 or something? I can't remember how it's turned into real terms. Plus how can we be sure that the WWE didn't make the figure larger than it actually was?

They don't release the ratings, Nielsen Media does, so unless the WWE has someone working in Nielsen Media, they can't fake it.

Also, I just read this on another site - not sure if it's totally accurate or not, but I do assume so, since the article it was in was a very recent one, and is accurate on other things:

"A ratings point represents 1,096,000 households, or one per cent of the estimated 109.6 million TV homes in the United States. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show."

Yup. There's always been interest in the WWE (or any wrestling company) becoming affiliated with a major broadcast network. (of course I'm talking about interest on the wrestling organizations' parts, not necessarily the parts of the broadcast networks.)
