— According to Mediaweek, Saturday’s WrestleMania 26 special on NBC posted a dismal 0.65 adults 18-49 rating with an average of 1.78 million viewers. While minor positives included the fact that it built on its “Persons Unknown” lead-in and grew from the first to second half hour, the rating was unequivocally poor and positioned the special as the least-viewed broadcast series in the timeslot, both in total viewers and adults 18-49.
An immediate comparison to last year’s number was not available, as the fast nationals for last year included some NFL preseason pre-emptions.
— In a Twitter update, Chris Jericho commented on TNA HardCORE Justice: “Congrats to ECW for riding again one last time! Working there was always about family and defiance. Tonights show was no different.”
— Also on Twitter, John Cena put over the Kardashians, whom he encountered at Sunday’s Teen Choice Awards event: “CeNation. Just leaving teen choice headed for sac town. Cannot believe how downright beautiful the kardashians are. Wow.”
Jericho re-tweeted the message, adding, “maybe they can join ur [Summerslam] team.”
