Is anyone really surprised? The Raw after Wrestlemania live vs taped impact! not really hard to figure out who will win that one. A lot of people tuned into Raw just to see what happened at Wrestlemania.

Lol @ everyone saying "I can't wait to hear the excuses from the TNA fans."
We already know the excuses, and it was our own damn selves that mentioned it. Raw after Wrestlemania, TNA was pretaped, and the Shawn Michaels thing.
What gets me is that WWE let us know way ahead of time when Stone Cold was hosting, and since we know the date of Wrestlemania a year in advance, then the date of the next night's Raw is rather obvious. And yet, with all this advance knowledge of two Raws that were guaranteed to draw, TNA chose to air pretaped Impacts, a problem that could've easily been avoided by moving to Mondays a week earlier.

And if people want to see the same five guys, doing the same five things for the past five years, they can watch a good ol' episode of Monday Night Raw. Insomnia TV, starring Yawn Cena, Blandy Orton, Crippled H, and C list guest hosts! Yea and those guys for the same 5 years brought in a 3.7 rating last night. And while we are on the topic of seeing the same guys and good ol' episodes of wrestling how about we bring Hogan up for topic? How about Nasty Boys? How about Flair (who is retired and forced out of a company BTW), how about the famous and ever changing Scott Hall?? You wanna talk about bland?? AJ Styles maybe the TNA Champ and very talented but Blandy Orton has more charisma than AJ, hell my puppy of 6 months has more charisma. Lets face it if TNA was going to make any impact and try to get ratings it would be to get someone like Blandy Orton to sign with them and find someway for Orton to get out of a 90 no compete clause and show up on TNA....

TNA should blame TNA then, they want to treat this monday night war as a joke well they will get a joke every tuesday called the Monday Night Rating,which have all been hilarious thus far.

WWE consistently get 3.0's or more. TNA consistently gets between 1.0-1.2...the core fan base will never change, thus TNA will never win this war no matter how many times the numbers fluctuate. Which is why the ratings system is a dumb indicator of good programming.

If people wanna see senior citizens they can go to an old folks home. And if people want to see the same five guys, doing the same five things for the past five years, they can watch a good ol' episode of Monday Night Raw. Insomnia TV, starring Yawn Cena, Blandy Orton, Crippled H, and C list guest hosts! People seem to be taking up your offer, Mr. Smart Ass.

TNA goes family friendly or dies, thats how i see it. They either become something that the WWE core audience can enjoy or they will be history. TNA fans can bash WWE pg all they want, but WWE is thriving and making big $. I really hate it when people talk about this whole "family friendly" thing. I do not think being "PG" has anything to do with this. I read this in an article on PWTorch, and I really agree with it. TNA's problem is not whether or not it is "family friendly". It all has to do with cohesive coherent consistent storytelling. For all the flak that WWE gets, at least their angles and happenings going on their TV shows are consistent and make sense week in and out. Creative in TNA always seems so very secondary. They seem to just try to get by on the sheer star power in their arsenal. They do have some impressive star power: Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Sting, and Jeff Hardy. Household names that have been at the top of the box office for years. They have the names, yet they are pulling these low ratings. It cannot be purely just the fault of a post-WM RAW with the farewell address of HBK. TNA has a very incoherent sense of storytelling , random people and happenings popping up, with nothing seeming cohesive. Samoa Joe is gone for several weeks and just randomly pops back up this week. Would it kill TNA to actually build things up and advertise them? I think the current direction of TNA shows that you can have all the stars in the world, but it don't make a damn bit of difference if the creative is not there. -CMD

Which is why the ratings system is a dumb indicator of good programming. It might not be able to rate "good programming" but if Im a company looking to advertise on a Monday Night, Am I going to go with a show that gets 3.7 or 0.6. Thats a TON of money that TNA is losing in the long run. Something that every company needs. No matter who your parent company is

Those names were hilarious. What was Sheamus doing 5 years ago? What was Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes doing 5 years ago? What was Jack Swagger doing 5 years ago? Don't sweat it, he basically just transcribed an Anderson promo from an indy show off YouTube, those weren't his own words. he copied Anderson's promo? that must of been why i wasn't entertained by it.
