No one is going to watch TNA for the Nasty Boys.
A 1 rating on a Monday Night in prime time is better than a 1 rating on a Thursday Night in prime time.

A point in the Nielsen Ratings doesn't correlate to the number of people watching, but the share of people watching overall who are watching your show specifically. Monday is a hotter night for TV, which means more viewers, which means more people per point.

Having pointed that out, I'll move on.

WWE's been stuck around the low 3s for a while now. If TNA could manage to get to the point where they're around a 2 rating, that would certainly make them at least somewhat of a threat. So yeah, I agree.

The question is how they improve the ratings. Honestly, there's no single, easy solution. They need a tighter program with more to appeal to the general audience. They need things that makes anyone on the fence decide they'd rather watch TNA instead of WWE. They need a balance of names an excitement. They need something different, instead of "The TNA Screwjob."
