[Crayo]

First Hour Break Down

Q1: Impact opened with a 0.86 rating for Hogan and Shaq backstage, ring intros for the opening tag match of A.J. Styles & Kurt Angle vs. Chavo & Hernandez, the first few minutes of the match, and a mid-match commercial. (down 2.1% vs. live summer Q1 average)

Q2: Impact increased to a first-hour-high 0.98 rating for the second-half of Styles & Angle vs. Chavo & Hernandez, one commercial, and various backstage segments. (up 8.0% vs. live summer Q2 average)

Q3: Impact dipped to a 0.93 rating for Dixie Carter's backstage meeting and this month's Gut Check try-out match. There were also two full commercial breaks. (even with live summer Q3 average)

Q4: Impact increased slightly to a 0.96 rating for James Storm and Bobby Roode teasing a fight and Hogan giving Roode until the other side of the commercial to make a decision, the commercial, and a pre-fight scrap. (up 3.7% vs. live summer Q4 average)

Second Hour Break Down

Q5: Impact took its usual top-of-the-second-hour bump to a 1.09 rating for the Roode-Storm "match," a post-match scrap, Hogan backstage, one commercial, and Austin Aries confronting Jeff Hardy backstage. (up 1.8% vs. live summer Q5 average)

Q6: Impact increased slightly to a show-high 1.11 rating for this week's Knockouts segment of a Tara in-ring promo before intimidating Christy Hemme. This was followed by Hogan backstage, a commercial, Brooke Hogan backstage, and Hogan walking to the ring to confront Aces & Eights. (up 6.8% vs. live summer Q6 average)

Q7: Impact dipped slightly to a 1.09 rating for Hogan's Aces & Eights segment, one commercial, Austin Aries in the ring calling out Bully Ray, and Ray slowly making his way out to the ring for the main event. (up 4.9% vs. live summer Q7 average)

Q8: Impact dipped slightly to a second-hour-low 1.06 rating for the unhyped Aries vs. Ray main event, one commercial, and show-closing Aries-Jeff Hardy mid-ring confrontation. (down 2.5% vs. live summer Q8 average of a 1.09 rating.)

That Aries vs Bully match was weird and random. Didn't Bully win? lol I can't even remember the end of the show. I sort of stopped paying close attention during Hogan's rant.

 

[Crayo]

Yeah there was some ref spot and Bully used his chain to get the win.

 

[Testify]

Tara drew like a fuck in the quarter that no one ever drawed. Kudos.
