WWE SmackDown Rating Is In + More On D-Bryan At MLB Game

— The Mercury News has a report of Daniel Bryan’s appearance at Monday’s San Francisco Giants game. The article notes that Bryan decided to come out after reading about Hunter Pence leading a park-wide “YES!” chant.

The article notes that Bryan isn’t much of a baseball fan but roots for the Mariners at time. He worse a personalized Giants jersey and planned to pump up the crowd himself with a “YES!” chant before last night’s game.

“It’s crazy,” Bryan said about his “YES!” chant. “I’m just some small-town guy from Aberdeen, Washington just doing my wrestling thing,” he said, laughing. “You see it being done by 40,000 people and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh!’ It was awesome.”

— UPDATE: WWE SmackDown drew a 2.02 (2.0) cable rating, up big time from last week’s 1.74 (1.7) cable rating.

— ORIGINAL: Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown scored 2.75 million viewers and a 0.8 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic. Those numbers are up significantly, rising 19% and two-tenths respectively from 2.32 million and a 0.6 the week before.

While the show lost out to Major League Baseball’s post-season, it was still the highest non-baseball original programming for the night.

The household rating will be available later.
