this should tell you some thing about tna with stars such as hulk hogan, sting, ric flair, hall, nash, rvd, jeff hardy, Sean Waltman and kurt angle couldn't beat out raw witch was guest hosed by c list celebrities That post-WM Live RAWs with "Farwell" to one of the biggest starts in wrestling can draw over a taped show? Seriously when are you gonna realize. TNA just got handed their ass. Its not working, its not gonna work. Go back to Thursdays

How in the hell is it an "excuse" when people (not just me) were saying it before the rating even came out?
Edit: Just for the record.. I don't think they should keep staying on Monday's. I agree with the fact they should move back to Thursdays. I'm just saying, there are reasons for the rating being low and it's not because "TNA sucks" or the show sucked, because they did a jam up job on it.. minus the OJ bit.

Its not working, its not gonna work. Go back to Thursdays man what the hell do you expect after wrestlemania and the show is the farewell show for a major wrestling star. come on people think so or atleast use your heads. the ratings will be better next week and so on after that.

As I said before, you had to know HBK was going on last, so you could have watched TNA up until the HBK part. Stop blaming it on Shawn.

I always said this wouldn't work. But for the people who say next weeks ratings will rise...Wrong! Next Monday are they not only going up against WWE RAW, but they are going against DWTS, and NCAA National Championship Basketball on CBS.

With the way they book and promote, there is nothing shocking about this rating. Vince Mcmahon is alot of things, an idiot isn't one of them. There isn't a large fanbase for the product they are putting out. Adults watch UFC , only hardcore fans still even watch WWE. Kids are what are keeping the wrestling bussiness thriving. What Mcmahon said a few days ago was 100 percent true, he wasn't being an bunghole at all. When TNA is ready to cater to the kids they will find successs. That Pope segment was awful last night, as was the OJ stuff. This isn't the 90s, that audience is gone. People want good clean fun now, sorry but Russo can't deliver that. If Jeff Hardy has his bussiness face on right now, he should become the sole face of TNA. They should be spending a ton of $ to advertise the fact that he wrestles there now. If they advertise Jeff on a much higher level, things will get better. I completely agree. the problem is that TNA has already =established themselves as this alternative so it'll be hard for them to go back. Personally, I dont want another kid baswed wrestling promotion, and if TNA is smart they won;t give into that. What they need to do is swallow their pride and say look, we're going back to another night or at least put out a second show on thursday. At this point, TNA needs to just forget about the ratings and just produce a good show, but perhaps on another night. This is just becoming embarassing for them and could end up being worse. Like i've said a million times, ratings is a poor indicator of success of a show...WWE has their core fans..3.0 plus and tna has their core fans 1.0 give or take a few. It's been this way now for 5 years. the world has changed, wrestling has changed. People probably watch less tv now then before. TNA is in a lose lose situation so they need to stop beating their head against a brick wall and just have a promotion that can make some money, give wrestlers and fans an alternative, and just stop trying to be bigger then they are. That said, TNA was definately the better show last night. For every orlando jordan segment criticism I can throw a hornswaggle in the hot tub, Jerry springer show, cris angel pulling dental floss outt his damn eye segment right back at ya. TNA had some solid wrestling and storyline development last night while WWE had the HBK show. It got a 3.7. Sadly, this is the character of the wrestling fan in 2010. They have their loyalties and I doubt TNA can do anything to change that. Sadly I believe most of the old school wrestling fans are all grown up and moved on

They picked a terrible time to start going against Raw. Go head to head against WWE around Mania? Not smart. Go against them for all two hours? Also not smart. TNA's product isn't awful, I've been enjoying it the past few weeks, but they really need to start at 8 and go to 10. They need to step back and look at what they are capable of doing at this moment and not focusing on doing what they want to be able to do eventually. your sig is amazing. as for this, i really think tna needs to hype the crapout of an rvd/jeff hardy feud, rvd/sting, hardy/sting match...these are the people than enthrall viewers enough to stick around and they need to make newer stars through them by having them match off main event with aj, daniels, and even joe.

I'll be honest, I tried to watch TNA during the breaks from Raw, & they were doing the same thing. Thats not going to keep me tuned in.

I expected it to be that low.When you have someone like Eric Young in the main event,who is killing the ratings big time each and every week,that can only spell disaster for a company.

So you blame E.Y. for the drop in ratings? You are an idiot! E.Y. next to A.J. is the most entertaining TNA "original". I don't know why all of a sudden people don't like Young; when just a couple of years ago he was a fan favorite and people were chanting "Don't fire; Eric". I hated his character back then; it was stupid and never made sense...just basic practice of the TNA of old.
