Thursday’s Impact Wrestling episode scored a 0.89 cable TV rating, which is down from last week’s 0.99 rating.

Impact drew 997,000 viewers, down 18 percent from the previous week. This was their fewest number of viewers since their Thanksgiving episode of Impact.

On cable TV Thursday night, Impact did not rank in the Top 50 viewership.

Well, this is kinda embarrassing. In your own personal opinions, what angles/movements would TNA have to do in order to regain the number? As stated before, this is their lowest viewership since the Thanksgiving episode, and although that may not look bad on paper, for TNA it is. Thoughts?

More bad ratings for TNA, yawn, at this point it's just water under the bridge.

It's a shame that a show with so much hyped up for it got such a shitty rating... actually, I PM'ed Crayo about it and he mentioned that none of that stuff drew him in. I tend to agree but assume I'm just being Overly Negative Rain as always, maybe you guys disagree. Lashley isn't a draw, women's wrestling in its current state isn't a draw, the triple-threat tag match is up for debate...

And after Lockdown it's obvious. Vince Russo is back. There's one thing you've gotta say about Russo-booking and it's that it draws ratings. After a "Magnus vs Joe with Eric Young chained to Abyss World Title match" draws this poorly, you cannot defend Russo.(There's a lot of good things he did but Lagana did them too). Don't blame the talent (except Abyss, fuck Abyss), blame Creative for booking Magnus World Title Matches into an anti-draw and this matchup bringing back bad memories of Abyss crawling out of the ring at Lockdown.

Indeed, Magnus vs Joe with EY chained to Abyss screams Vince Russo. The signs are there :dawg:
