TNA's ratings went up slightly apparantly.

--Both UFC and TNA had good ratings news. UFC did a 1.4 last night which is the best it's done since losing the Raw lead-in. TNA did a 0.9, its best number to date. It reads like a minor increase, but viewers per home skyrocketed Saturday night as did the key demos.

Oh yeah and...

TNA iMPACT! on SpikeTV drew 0.9 rating according to Nielsen Media Research, which is the highest rating TNA has done since debuting on SpikeTV.

If TNA's upcoming primetime special on SpikeTV does anything close to UFC's Monday night primetime ratings (1.4 last night which was UFC's best rating since WWE moved to USA), SpikeTV is expected to create a UFC/TNA Monday night prgramming block to combat WWE on USA Network.

Putting TNA up against Raw would be suicide right now.

I agree. I think they should go to Sat nights from 6-8...the old WCW Sat Night slot...or Thurs from 9-11.

Well it seems people are interested.

The real test will be whether they can draw that number (or higher) consistently for the next 6 months. If they can do that they begin to look like a true success.

Personally I think they cater to todays fans big spots and quick payoffs plus they keep there smark fans through guys like Daniels and Joe. The real problem for TNA will be two years from now when tastes will change and they (possibly) havent created enough new stars.

Monday night wouldn't be smart right now. But I'd prefer them in a better slot than Sat night at 11. Worst. Time. Ever.

So was 4pm Fridays on FSN though.

A weeknight slot at a decent time when people are actually home would suffice. What else does Spike play during the week anyway? Crap movies or movies that are edited for TV so there's no point in watching them?

If the Thursday special is a success, I'd like to see them do another one going head to head with SmackDown!... It would be interesting to see how it fairs. If it bombs, it's only one show and they wouldn't have to keep the timeslot.

I'd put TNA up against SmackDown! before I'd put it up against RAW....

Of course, they COULD put TNA on before Raw starts...

...Stop me if I'm talking crazy here...Just being on Monday night doesn't necessarily mean head to head with Raw.

Also, I'd probably watch it before I watched Raw anyway. TNA = meh. Raw = blech.
