SHOW SUMMARY: This installment of the PWTorch VIP Vault jumps back to the July 21, 2006 episode of the Bruce Mitchell Audio Show. They covered these topics:

• ECW’s late-night rating
• Undertaker headlining an ECW show
• TNA ratings compared to ECW
• The content of Saturday Night’s Main Event and it ratings
• A look back at what made SNMEs in the 1980s rating successes whereas today they’re not
• Whether it’s wise to feature top stars on TV so often and, if it’s not done, what an alternative is, how UFC fits into all of this, and more.
• The injury to Mark Henry
• A preview of Sunday’s Bash PPV, and a couple other current events
• Then they dedicate the majority of the update to looking at the headlines of the recent two pairs of “5 Years Ago” and “10 Years Ago” Torch Newsletter back issues focused on Hulk Hogan’s heel turn in July 1996 and the original WCW/ECW Invasion angle from July 2001.
