— This week’s edition of WWE RAW posted a 3.3 rating, which marks a very slight decline from last week’s number. More newsworthy than the actual household number, however, is the fact that the telecast once again lost viewers from hour one (3.48 rating) to hour two (3.17). While competing sports programs generally draw more viewers for later parts of the game (and thus become more competitive against RAW), the presence of baseball and football on other networks has not historically produced that kind of hourly drop on a weekly basis–something about WWE’s program is presently turning away viewers mid-episode.

— A wise move to correspond with her publicity for “Celebrity Apprentice,” Maria received the featured WWE.com Diva Gallery on Tuesday. It is titled “en fuego.”
— While the motivation behind Shane McMahon’s resignation is still largely a mystery, F4WOnline.com reports that the situation was intense enough to cause Vince McMahon to go on a “complete rampage” the morning the resignation was announced. Even though most do not believe any sort of major family blowup occurred, the McMahon reaction does seemingly indicate the resignation was about more than Linda’s Senate campaign.
