If TNA can consistently bring their ratings up to a 2 WWE would take some notice and up their product a little bit... Especially if Raw viewers are tuning into Impact instead.
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."
