— Evan Bourne (Matt Sydal), Curt Hawkins and
JTG are said to have the most potential as far as working on the indy scene is
concerned. The reason JTG is on that list is due to the reformation of Cryme
Tyme with his former tag-team partner Shad Gaspard. They got some great
publicity with a video on TMZ.com over the weekend. Despite how some of you may
feel about them, TMZ is a HUGE site traffic-wise and Shad
tells us their phones blew up following that video.
— UPDATE: WWE SmackDown
drew a 1.84 (1.8) cable rating, up 8% from last week’s
1.7.
— ORIGINAL: Following its drop in the previous week,
Friday’s episode of SmackDown saw a bounce-back in viewers. The show drew
2.76 million viewers and a 0.8 rating in the 18 – 49 demo,
which are up 18% and a tenth from 2.32 million and a 0.7.
The numbers are more in line with the June 6th episode, which had drawn 2.78
million and a 0.8. The household rating will be available later.
