The Official "TNA Impact Ratings" Thread

[Sandroace]

Well the quarter hours are a little late but here they are :

1.05, 0.84, 0.83, 0.86, 0.79, 0.78, 0.92 and 0.87

WOW!! Now were down to getting quarter hour ratings that are in the .7 range, that is bad... very bad for TNA.

heel wrote:TNA's main audience is a casual fan base, they like more then wrestling, so it is more then plausible that some of the fan base is watching Lost, NBA finals etc, especially when both of those are nearing the end for the season. There is no real special time for wrestling e.g finale type show for a season so people tuning into Lost, NBA etc should be expected when your core audience is casual.

Not true at all. TNA's main audience is clearly a more hardcore wrestling fan base. The casual fan is what TNA is trying to get. Now I'm not saying that the shows you've mentioned are irrelevant but they do not have that much affect on Impact as one might think. TNA has dropped even further this week with those .79 and .78 quarter hours, which in my eyes clearly indicates that these shows are not the problem.

One has to remember that TNA has always had high rated shows that are on when Impact is on and it never got this low. Fans for what ever reason are loosing interest in Impact, plain and simple, there really is no excuse for it.

Hopefully the TNA World X Cup makes a difference, Cage being Champion would bring ratings up in my opinion because he is proably TNA's best heel champion because of his persona. But TNA In my opinion should be getting in the 2's but I guess Joe being champion is still dragging them down.

Better than last week. Really good build for the ppv this week, not so great wrestling wise.

[Maya Fey]

[JJ Styles]

Well I was expecting it to be a 0.9, so Im happy.

Tho I havent seen this weeks iMPACT! yet, so I don't know how good the show was.

The show featured 15 minutes of wrestling but scored a higher rating. I tell you guys, I was right on my creative direction TNA should take.

Just because it jumped up by .01 does not mean you are right. TNA always bounces around this mark so the direction of the show is not affecting anything.

Wrong, it jumped up by .1 not .01. From what I have been told the final rating was a 1.02 which from .87 is up quite a bit. TNA does jump a little but that still means that the fans tuned into Thursday's iMPACT for one reason or another. Why would they tune into this iMPACT more than the iMPACT a few weeks ago featuring Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe

Maybe when Lost is over for the season Impact will go back to 1.1 or even 1.2. Lost has it's big 2 hour season finally going directly head to head with Impact May 29. Good luck TNA.

its obvious wretling fans arent dedicated enough if they are always going to choose nba or football over wrestling
