Final Smackdown Rating drops, Tony Schiavone to the WWE?, more
Submitted by Matthew Tremley on Friday, April 25, 2003 at 4:17 PM EST


• The final numbers for last night's edition of WWE Smackdown are in. The show did a 3.1 cable rating with a 5 share which is down from last week's 3.3. This is not good news, considering the WWE has their Backlash PPV on Sunday and are supposed to continue to hype up the matches to create interest.
