TBH, TNA could make their product amazing, and nobody will tune in. I don't even think they could listen to all the demands by fans, and gain ratings. People just don't tune in to TNA. It's sad, but it's true. That is TNA's major flaw, no matter how bad or good they get, the same people will tune in every week, keeping their ratings the same with slight drops/raises every now and then.

At this point, you could be right... they've already cemented their reputation as the "heavy silliness, sports entertainment junior" show. WWE marks think it's second rate, smarks think it's a joke, and everyone else either doesn't know/care about it or have moved on from wrestling altogether. TNA could've brought legit, cutting edge pro wrestling to the mainstream back in '06 and tap into the MMA audience, WWE fans who are bored/frusterated with that product, even exreme sports fans and the general television viewing audience... but we all know how that turned out. |

Still, you have some people that won't tune in cause it's not WWE and some who won't even give TNA a chance, even if they haven't seen it before. There are some people that wouldn't tune in no matter what they had on. |

WWE's average rating usually is anywhere from a 2.5-3.5 nowadays

Once Foley debuts they can expect at least a 1.1, BREAK OUT THE CHAMPAGNE!

Maybe if they would advertise the product more, it might help a little bit. I never see anything advertisting the next show or even for that matter PPVs. Unless you follow TNA on a regular basis, you may not be aware of it being on TV to watch.

TNA will never get above these 1.___ ratings until they spend more money marketing themselves. For every person I talk to that I ever even mention wrestling to they've never even heard of TNA. Even people who watch WWE, there are still some of them, that have no idea what TNA even is. I don't know what it will take, but more commercials for the product on other channels would be a good start. I'm really hoping the video game will get them some exposure they wouldn't otherwise get (like in magazines etc...)

I think the problem with SpikeTV is they're so supportive of UFC and not TNA. I understand UFC's the bigger draw but you can't just crap on TNA. They could've easily replaced on of their re-runs for a 30 minute show for TNA to promote the video game and No Surrender. Look at SpikeTV.com
TNA's mentioned 3 times (Main Graphic - 2nd one, Little graphic on the side and "TNA iMPACT" on the nav bar)
UFC's mentioned 7 or so times (Main Graphic x3, on the top nav bar, on the side nav bar, UFC 88 Results, Rahsad Evans defeats Chuck Liddell)
They also have a little MMA game - SpikeTV puts UFC over TNA so much that UFC's even bumped TNA before. There was 2-3 UFC commericals the other day when I was watching yet none of TNA. I feel TNA should've left SpikeTV back in October and went to the rumored Fox. It was a bigger station and TNA would've got so much promotion out of it.

Yeah that'll put butts in seats! |

For a company like TNA, they should be proud. They should expect no better.
