By James Caldwell, PWTorch assistant editor


SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

After a very poor showing during Thanksgiving Week last week, pro wrestling TV regained about 500,000 viewers. It was still about half of the 1.0 million viewers lost during Thanksgiving.

This was also the first week of DVR tracking without ROH after finishing the run on Destination America moving to over-the-air Comet TV.

The result was WWE taking 94 percent of the viewership pie for the week.

Overall Viewership – WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown, TNA Impact (Week of Nov. 30)

– Live Viewership Pie: 5.506 million, up from only 5.067 million live viewers last week.

– Live & DVR Pie: 6.153 million total viewers, up from 5.732 million total viewers last week, but down from 6.624 million total viewers two weeks ago.
