Well they're firmly established now, with ratings slowly edging upwards (1.2 seems to be their new 1.1) and a company wide storyline on which to build over the next twelve months. One prediction I think you can take to the bank - Joe will turn heel, just in time to put the newly turned face Nash over.

Remember bps, when it comes to TNA, people around here will complain about anything. Even on a show, that on paper, looks pretty good. Culmative effect. It seems like Joe can barely make it to the ring these days without getting beat, now when he actually manages to be part of a winning team...he gets stomped even worse than usual! I'm sure this is all leading up to Nash putting him over HU-GE though.

...!

Hands up if you think Joe's ever getting that win back!

Didn't they just do this with the X-Division title ?

You are aware of the previous works of Mister Vince Russo, aren't you ? Even with that said, there's no calculating how dumb you'd have to be to script anything other than a clean win for Joe in this one.

Can't speak for anyone else but I was too busy applying the deep-black eyeliner my WWE employers so thoughtfully purchased for me to bother with Impact this week.

I could be wrong but I though that Impact was doing an average 1/1.1 in the ratings, which is around a million viewers. Last I heard, their PPVs were drawing under 30k in buys.

It can't help that their current ratings are...to be generous...stagnent (down week on week for the last three weeks or so).

IF any kind of sizeable number of regular Raw viewers did indeed tune into TNA instead of WWE, it means that MORE than half the regular TNA audience chose to do the exact opposite. There's no way those numbers can be spun in favour of TNA.

Sobering numbers for TNA. Bad enough they mucked up their prime-time Monday special but to have half your viewers switch off when the competition is around....well, if morale was poor before....

Download the PPVs and watch any of the matches that are worth a damn, ignore the shit-fest that is the rest of their programming.

Has he ever actually wrestled in TNA ?

Bush. League.

No word on ratings at all then ?
