How big of a draw is Kurt Angle for TNA?

This is semi-accurate actually. I watch TNA every week because I love wrestling and watch just about everything wrestling related on my tv. I haven't missed an episode of RAW, Smackdown!, or Impact in damn near 3 years. Honestly I think TNA is like you said, a supplement for "hardcore wrestling fans" to watch since WWE doesn't do anything on Thursdays.

Although I do think that Hardy probably draws a little bit for them. Not on a level that actually matters, but I'm sure that if he left their ratings would go down a tiny bit.
