Raw ratings tumble, Konnan to the WWE?, Sable update and more
May 12 2004 at 6:13 PM
- WWE RAW fell all the way to a 3.4 rating this week despite the fact that many high profile matches were advertised in advance. The show did a 3.9 last week. Hourly ratings were a 3.3 and 3.6, with the highest quarter hour being a 3.9 for the overrun.
- Velocity did a 0.5; Experience did a 0.7; Heat did a 0.8.
- In another Brock related news item, it appears that one of the reasons Brock's girlfriend Sable hasn't been on WWE TV lately is because Brock wants her to spend most of her time with him. Sable was out for awhile getting a leak in one of her breast implants fixed, but has been healthy enough to return for awhile now.
- At this point, WWE does not plan to use Paul Heyman on the PPV this Sunday.
- Konnan is apparently working in TNA without a contract. He has been telling people that he plans to head over to the WWE in a couple weeks from now. There is also some talk of Eddie Guerrero being the one who is bringing him in to the WWE.
The problem is that Vince McMahon doesn’t really like Konnan too much from something that happened a few years back. The only reason Vince would let Konnan in the WWE is because it’s apparently a favor to Eddie Guerrero. Many feel that Konnan is not ready for a run in the WWE, however according to Konnan he will be going there to work something out in the next couple weeks.
Eddie Guerrero and Konnan both wrestled in Mexico around the same time period, they also wrestled in WCW in the same time period. They were both members of the WCW stable “The Filthy Animals” from late 1999 to early 2000, right before Eddie left WCW.
Working without a contract in TNA means that he is under no obligation to continue working TNA shows for any certain amount of time. Him not having a contract with TNA means he is a free agent and that he can work pretty much anywhere he pleases. Konnan was a huge draw in WCW and is still a crowd pleaser in TNA.
