ECW Rating Drops with the Abraham Washington Show, WWE Referee News

- With Christian’s appearance on the “Abraham Washington Show” as the only promoted ECW segment, this week’s edition of the weekly WWE series dropped in the ratings. The show posted a 1.14 rating, a decrease from last week’s 1.25. Moreover, it is the worst performing Tuesday night ECW since the implementation of the “new talent initiative.”

- WWE made a strange modification to its roster recently, changing referee Justin King’s name to Noah Wilson and developmental referee Rod Zapata’s name to Rod Vista. Given that WWE has a policy not to identify referees by name on television–Chris Jericho, for instance, had to do a double-take when he started mentioning Charles Robinson’s name–it is odd that WWE felt the need to use gimmicked identities.

    They all need a large kick in the head. They’ve turned ECW into a glorified FCW and no one gives enough of a crap to waste their time watching. And they sit there scratching their asses…

    Abraham Washington has a big ass mouth, he just needs to have more respect with people who actually have talent.
