— The announced attendance at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York for RAW was 15,615 fans. That was a legitimate sellout.
— Sports Illustrated has a video looking at WWE’s relationship with ESPN.
Here’s an excerpt from the story: “WWE Raw has been a top five talked-about topic over the last five weeks among SportsCenter followers on Twitter and a top 10 topic for 15 straight weeks. Outlets (and I include SI here) would be wise to cater to WWE fans when appropriate given its demos. Website editors and writers will tell you that wrestling content on sports sites draws a ton of page views. There’s no doubt that some ESPN viewers will be unhappy seeing WWE programming on SportsCenter—no, it’s not a sport—but the idea that SportsCenter is sacrosanct regarding sports-only is long gone. The show often has actors and musicians hyping product, cross-promotion with Disney entities, lists of non-note from its anchors, and various personalities screaming about something.”
It also said WWE wanting mainstream media attention is understandable considering the RAW ratings.
