It's not that anyone is fascinated by it, it's all just discussion. However, showing that the ratings have mostly DROPPED, is quite humorous. Hogan thought they could give RAW a run for it's money, on Monday's. Yet ( for now ), they haven't really made any progress. Hell, even the replay is doing better numbers. Which simply shows that wrestling fans would much rather watch RAW, than iMPACT! It shows that the formula TNA is using isn't quite working, to create any kind of "war". It's been said a million times ( including me ), TNA should have gone LIVE on Thursday's, rather than Monday's. And SG, seriously man... don't act like the replay doing better DOESN'T bother Hogan and Bischoff. Don't act like their main objective isn't to beat RAW in the ratings. Wrestling fans care more about RAW, than iMPACT! and when forced to choose one... most have chosen RAW, clearly. Accept it, TNA made a bad decision of moving to Monday nights. - Triple S First off, I never "acted" like the replay rating doesn't bother them. But, if it "bothers" them so much then why did SpikeTV at the LAST minute, decide to air it? Everyone acts like Hogan, Bischoff, etc act like "ohhh we're gonna be rolling in 4.0 ratings in weeks", when they obviously don't think that. Second off, no one can say "oh, it's a bad decision to move to Mondays" in TWO weeks. The only thing TNA has to do is to continually put on a better show then RAW, and viewership will increase based off a better show. It's been said time and time again, you're not going to be able to see the increase in ratings in weeks. It'll be months down the road. |

Yes, it's only been 2 shows. However, the first week was a decline of the normal Thursday ratings and this past week's did even worse than the first week. If numbers don't start increasing to a solid 1.0 or more EACH week, they might as well go back to Thursdays. Where WWE fans could easily watch their program, rather than choosing RAW over it. - Triple S So after 2 weeks you want to call it a failure? Thank God you're not in control of any major companies. 2 shows. It hasn't even been a month yet and you're already counting it out! Have some sense |

it easy to use the whole "its only been 2 weeks" argument as a crutch. but if they couldnt do better then they were doing on thursdays with no competition, they definately wont do better now when people would rather watch WWE. I dont even like wrestling anymore, but thats just common sense.

I think its a win/win |

No, they haven't if you want to get down right technical. 2002 until 2004 you had to pay $10 a week to watch their product. 2004 until 2005 they were on a shitty channel (FSN) 2005 until October 205 - They were on webcasts 2005-2010 - SpikeTV So, really they've only had a great (marketable) deal for five years. |

NXT is only been around a few weeks, so if that's going to be your point, then it's obviously flawed. The whole concept is new to the WWE, so obviously people were going to check it out and then they decided they didn't like it, so they stopped watching. But they both still did better than TNA does. |

Don't you just love it how WWE fans feel they can come onto the TNA board to bash, bitch, and critique every chance they can get?!? But yet if TNA fans get on the WWE boards and do the same thing; they get you banned?!?

also from pwtorch: Last night's live episode of TNA Impact on Spike TV scored a 0.86 rating, which was slightly above last week's 0.84 rating for the taped episode leading to the Destination X PPV. Viewership was up to 1.2 million viewers compared to last week's 1.1 million viewers. Spike TV is also reporting improved demographic numbers for last night's Impact, highlighted by males 18-34 up to a 0.86 rating from last week's 0.63 demographic rating. The March 22 ratings - overall and demographics - trailed the March 8 live debut on Monday nights, however. Overall March 8 - 0.99 rating March 22 - 0.86 rating Males 18-49 March 8 - 0.98 rating March 22 - 0.85 rating Males 18-34 March 8 - 0.92 rating March 22 - 0.86 rating ANymore, from a fans perspective, who cares. i enjoyed the show throughout last night. I'll continue to support TNA as long as they continue to produce shows like they have the past 3 weeks. There's nothing tna can do from here on out but just consistently produce good shows. The occasional cheap pop is nothing to brag about if you cant sustain the buzz, and in this day and age of wrestling, that's just not gonna happen. TNA will keep it's core fans for awhile and will probably peak at 1.1 next year sometime if they stay on Mondays. To those that care about ratings, that can be depressing, but for the slot they're in and what they are up against, it's what can be hoped for. Dixie carter would be well suited to offer another program on thursdays like WWE's smackdown. |

I kinda agree with you that it was a good show. But the lower the ratings get; the less time we have to watch the good show that we like. The sad thing is; is Vince has brainwashed his fans into thinking that his show is good. The WWE fans don't know what good really is.
