For those who asked, the lowest rated quarter hour of Raw on Monday was the
10:45 segment, which of course featured Vince McMahon vs. Triple H in what
he reportedly believes is the company's hottest feud (it seems the fans
think differently). The segment did a 3.3. The overrun then rose to a 4.0,
which was the highest rated segment on the show.

Speaking of Vince, Jeff Finger sent this. ... I was listening to the webcast
of the WWE annual meeting and at the 33 minute 45 second mark someone asked
a question about ECW and the direction Vince McMahon is taking it in. In
Vince's answer he talked about the old ECW show and used the following
comments: "ECW did not have much of a TV show." "It was more about
vignettes." "It was like the wild wild west." "No logic to it whatsoever."

Wow, I just went and listened to it. I can't believe those words came out
of Vince's mouth, especially given the state of his own creative. No logic
to it? Wow hey pot, the kettle just called you black. He also took the
usual shots about ECW having a small loyal fan base that wasn't that great
because they didn't support it. You can hear the whole conference by

Of course, he doesn't mention how he jobbed to WCW on Monday Night 3
years running because they pulled off Hogan, etc. while he was reduced
to introducing "The Huckster," "Billonaire Ted," etc.

I would've loved to have asked Vince this question: If what you were
saying is true, you think *without* ECW you would have beaten WCW/nWo?
