Wow...That did not work out as planned for them now did it.

 

[Leo C]

I was surprised. I don't watch TNA, I was expecting the ratings to go up and be closer to SD's, but I guess I was wrong, just like most people.

 

[Crayo]

Oh no.

You can blame a lot of it though on new time slot.

It did actually. I saw quotes earlier this week from Dixie talking about how the rating would drop before it went up because of the time change.

It will be interesting to see the difference in ratings between the two hours

Dolph, I don't think you can blame Big Bang theory, since you didn't blame Raw's bad ratings on the Hatfields and the McCoys for understandable reasons.

I blame Brooke Hogan, they put too much emphasis on that. Can't wait to see the quarters, Q3 probably had a massive drop after that Sting/Roode dilemma.

 

[Bort]

Uh, oh... Not a good start.

 

[Farooq]

Well it takes a while for things to settle. There are some people who watch TNA every other week or something, so they might have not known about the time change. Also others have to change their schedule to be able to make it to their TV earlier. There are others who thought that maybe the time change was on another day. Of course the ratings will probaly be low again next week, but eventually it will come back up once people get used to the time settings and everything.

 

[Saylor]

It doesn't look too good for them.

 

[Testify]

Obviously, the timeslot change did the damage. Bad as bad gets. Lets hope it's up next week!

Where did I blame the Big Bang Theory? I said the company expected a drop because of the time change, and it's understandable. As I mentioned I'm interested to see the difference in ratings from hour 1 to hour 2.

And yea, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people tuned out after Sting pissed in everyone's cheerios.

Oh, okay, I thought you said somewhere that it was because there were a lot of highly-rated shows in that timeslot, including Big Bang Theory. I misread, sorry.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I had no clue what time slot the BBT was in, but IMO anyone watching that show should be put to death.

[Bort]

Yeah, that show is not watchable anymore.
