You have to take into effect the people that watch certain Spike TV shows to begin with. There are clearly a lot of males who watch TNA to see the girls in revealing clothing. I think TNA could possibly eventually try doing a Saturday night Knockouts show one-time only and see how it does...

Sadly enough it would probably get the same rating since mainly the people who get TNA their ratings are diehards. TNA does not know how to get new fans. Though I will say this new feud does have some new buzz on it.

If they kept Angelina Love and Velvet Sky in bikinis every week, they could get a 1.2
even a 1.3

Like I've said before, no matter what, there are some people that will never watch TNA. Not blaming this for ratings, but there are some people that won't ever tune in no matter what TNA was to do.

they probably thought the show was over and there was nothing left to see. People have a habit of being impatient and not seeing whats left

More examples of knockouts beating main event guys..
Kinda sad because it was jeff's comeback match and really no one cared that much.
They'd rather watch some stupid beauty pageant!?
