RVD/Jericho blamed for low Raw rating, Smackdown, Top 15, more Submitted by William Martinez on Friday, December 21, 2001 at 3:23 PM EST
There was some finger pointing towards Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho for Monday's low Raw rating but it was later dismissed as most in management agreed it was not their fault.
Last night's Smackdown scored an overnight rating of 4.8. The final rating should be available later today.
For those wondering, The Score in Canada did air The Undertaker throwing Lita off the stage from Raw during their presentation of Smackdown last night.

I'm flipping thru the channels late at night and I'll be damned if I don't come across some cheesy dating show where Chyna is one of the guest commentators. It's Rendez-View. On the show they send 2 people on a blind date, and the host and guests basically give a comical play by play on the date. Apparently she can't decide which movie offer to take so she's taking all these small shows to get by till she does (yeah right) she's running out of options. Bet that last offer by the WWF is looking pretty good now.
