Kane-Lita wedding proves to be a major hit for WWE Submitted by Ben Johnson on Wednesday, August 25, 2004 at 7:50 PM EST
Even though the overall rating was unimpressive (3.6), the latest data reveals that the Kane-Lita wedding was a huge success for WWE.
Despite extremely mixed reviews from WWE fans (it was love or hate), the wedding severely boosted ratings. The last quarter of hour two scored a 4.0 and the overrun scored a 4.9. Thus, when compared with the average for the show, over one million additional households tuned in for the wedding.
With televised "weddings" often being successful for WWE, and this wedding being no different, expect the "wedding storyline" to show up in future WWE programming.
