Monday's special 3-hour Thanksgiving edition of WWE Raw hosted by Jesse Ventura did a 3.23 overall rating.

The final 2 hours, Raw's usual slot, did a nice 3.55 rating – which is up from last week's 3.47.

The hourly ratings were 2.60, 3.60 and 3.50 rating. When WWE runs 3-hour Raws, the first hour typically draws considerably fewer viewers than the second and third hours.

Comparing the final two hours of this week to last week's show from Madision Square Garden, viewership was up 2.5 percent.

I like to think that this can be attributed to the team of Jess Ventura and Vince McMahon at the announce desk near the end of the show.

I don't know about you, but I thought that was the best Raw moment I've seen in years. It brought back many childhood memories...and it was nice hearing Jesse cracking on McMahon.
