People want to see what Hogan does? Is this 1998?

I get the whole "TNA v WWE on Monday Nights" thing and how it could potentially develop into a "Monday Night War", but I don't think this one night is going to be that huge. I mean, how many of you are more likely to watch the Jan 4th episode of Impact as opposed to the normal Thursday episode?

It's worth noting that Monk was the series finale and White Collar was the mid-season finale. And of course, WWE usually gets schooled by football. Also, most of the competition wasn't on Monday, so it's more that the show drew less than a 3.1 that's the lead here, rather than who else did well.
Though not doing as well as reruns of NCIS is certainly not a feather I'd pop in my cap.
But yeah, people are putting the cart before the horse. Even if we do end up in direct competition, this is likely to be nothing more than MNW-lite. You know, the point I was making before that Clox fumbled. TNA on Monday Night will compete not only with WWE, but with all the usual competition. So assuming the same parties who watch on Thursdays don't have conflicting programming on Mondays (like Raw, or football), they're probably going to remain about even. In and of itself, this is unlikely to spark enough intrest to up the ratings, though established wrestling fans may watch the first hour anyway. Otherwise, this is unlikely to be strong enough to get any sort of change, let alone a " war."
Not impossible, mind. Just extremely unlikely.
