Just a year or two ago, didn't the majority of them get under $1000 (something like $600) for every appearance?

TNA Television Ratings

I just remember that when Gail Kim left a couple of years ago she was only getting around $100k which is nothing considering she and Awesome Kong were the top KOs at the time and were drawing the biggest ratings. They should all be rewarded for bringing in more viewers than any other division in TNA.
, this company is a mess.
the 1.01 rating was for Madison vs ODB match.
The 1.04 rating was the second-half of Roode, Ray and Aries having a "sit-in," one commercial break and the first-half of Zema Ion vs. Shannon Moore.

Shocking. Those ratings are so SO typical of TNA. Despite the writers, the on-air authority, the legends and past-it guys and all the other qualms people have with TNA THIS is what drives me mad.
Some people dislike it when WWE do things like take the title of fan favourites because of ratings. Often they do it FAR too soon and I think we can all agree but a good number of times they get it right, the belt/ME slot goes away because that guy CANNOT DRAW. These ratings are typical of years and years worth if iMPACT shows. People tune in to see what's going on and then steadily tune out as the show goes on. Ratings spike when charismatic mic workers, often the best of the X-Division, or the knockouts show up. All too often however, and I'm not saying always because guys like Angle obviously sell overall, the main events do not draw in viewers. What are these main events...aging superstars? A World Champion who hasn't been established correctly until very recently...but has then been giving a superstar I consider past-it in Sting to work with. It's madness. Look at your numbers TNA.

I completely forgot that Russo left before this show. Need a new scapegoat but I can't see it being Hogan. I see Hogan and Bischoff blaming the new guys for not being able to draw.
Not sure it really has anything to do with Russo, the product actually hasn't been bad lately, people just aren't interested.
