Like I said the week of Austin's appearance, I'd agree they're having issues if they can't at least match a 1.2 on week where RAW doesn't have a legend like Austin on.

The fact is, there are no simple solutions for TNA to gain more viewers. Some of the people on this forum are good examples, I've asked this already, but what keeps WWE viewers watching WWE? I used to be a huge WWE/F fan in the 90s, but it's become so stale now, I don't understand why people even bother tuning in, it's too predictable now. You can watch one RAW at the beginning of a month and be covered until the next PPV, imo.

I started watching wrestling again after years of not caring once TNA moved to Mondays. I have been watching it because it's different, and even if it was different in a bad way, I'd still check it out over something that was predictable.

How many Hornswoggle appearances can WWE viewers withstand before they just stop watching? How many douche-chills can John Cena give you with his promos before you start to feel like a 10 year old when watching their shows?

Wrestling in general has been pretty bad in recent years, imo. I'm giving TNA the benefit of the doubt, I feel they just need time and they need to be given a chance by loyal WWE fans. Out of the two years that Nitro was dominating RAW, Mick Foley stated that he believed RAW was producing the better show for at least one of those years, and I agree. My point is, it's possible that even though TNA can produce an entertaining show, the ratings won't reflect that until enough time has passed for people to actually check out the show and they begin to gradually build their audience.
