NXT ranked #13 in P18-49 among cable originals for the day, according to Showbuzz Daily. Including broadcast primetime, it ranked #29.
“The Nine Lives of Vince McMahon” documentary (which I appeared in as a talking head) on Vice from 9 to 11 pm was watched by 95,000 viewers and did 0.04 P18-49 rating. It ranked #124 among cable originals. That total viewership would be above the average for episodes of the recently-completed Tales from the Territories series on Vice, but well below the viewership of any Dark Side of the Ring episode.
