“Straight Up Steve Austin” premiere viewership

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

Steve Austin’s new “Straight Up Steve Austin” show premiered with 1.211 million viewers for USA Network on Monday, according to Showbuzzdaily.com.

Powell’s POV: The Austin show benefits from airing after Raw, just as the Miz & Mrs. show benefits from airing after Smackdown. It’s a logical fit even though the Austin show does not air in prime time. I wonder if Miz & Mrs. will move to a post Raw once Smackdown moves to Fox in October.
