You would think with it being a national holiday and most people outside doing stuff, away from the tv that WCW would maybe save it for the week after.

I'm sure a lot of poeple missed it and it went around by word of mouth and it got people tuning in the week after

Just a thought I had

I don't think you'd see anything like that today

Nitro went from

3.1

2.8-Hall Debut

3.0

so maybe it wasn't a huge jump but mid June they started to get to 3.5

I always found it funny that for an era where the fan base sucked for WWF, that two wrestlers from that era somehow helped ratings go up.

When fans started to die off in 1992 from the 80s era of Hogan, Piper, Mr. Wonderful, Andre, etc. they wouldn't probably know who Razor Ramon or Diesel were. Yet they somehow helped the ratings get high, with the heel turn of Hulk Hogan.
