Poor TNA, hopefully that's just a result of Austin guest hosting.

I'm not a fanboy of either promotion, but I want TNA to succeed for the sake of the business, to make things interesting again.

They've gotta be discouraged by this, 'tis a shame.

I'm sure everyone expected Impact's rating to drop this week anyway. I don't usually watch WWE and even I tuned in for Austin.

Gee, that sounds like a great excuse.

This week doesn't count they had Austin! Next week is the RAW before Mania so that doesn't count! Two weeks from now is the RAW after Mania, so that doesn't count either! Then it's the draft so that doesn't count! Etc etc...

Always going to be an excuse, never going to be the truth.

Gonna laugh when Raw's rating next week with Pete Rose is going to be like 3.5 and Impact with Hogan/Bischoff and company grab a 0.6 rating next week

There's always been an excuse with TNA

We don't have a good cable network

We don't have primetime

We don't have a big star

We don't have Hogan

We don't have Monday Night

Honestly, when are they gonna look in the mirror?

I'm not gonna say they're gonna break 1.0-1.2 next week, but c'mon, taped + going against Austin, they can get a pass this week in my book. We'll see if there's a difference with them being live next week and not going against the biggest star in the history of wrestling. If their rating continues to drop, then they have no excuse.

Okay, just want to throw some facts out here about how this is helping wrestling.

Before TNA moved to Mondays, Raw was doing 3.2 to a 3.5. Of course they will get a little boost heading into WrestleMania, so 3.7 is normal. This 1.0 and .8 are just extra people watching wrestling. Lets be happy more people are getting into the product again, the word will slowly spread at schools/work/etc etc and MAYBE just maybe become something big again.

How do we know more people are watching? How do we know that the large majority of TNA fans just don't watch RAW? If that's the case, there's nothing really added.

I don't see how anyone would even be surprised with this rating. I actually feared TNA would score a .5. Considering they did a 1.0 last week, it was obvious they would do lower because last night WWE had Stone Cold, they had the better show, TNA wasn't live, etc.

Anyone who thought they would even score a 1.0 or above is delusional.

Anyhow, eventually they'll grow. Probably won't get to 2.0 or 3.0, but in a few months I'm pretty sure they'll consistantly score 1.2-1.5.

To say that this is a war though is giving TNA too much credit. Not even close.

You know the whole problem with this is all this talk is about what happens on Raw. And TNA is probably thinking the same way. The ratings depend on what's happening in WWE as if what happens on Impact doesn't matter. If TNA thinks that their ratings depend on what's going on over on Raw, then they have no chance of even staying on air, let alone competing. That type of thinking doesn't breed success.

Their is a diffrence between a reason and an excuse.

TNA jumped the gun in going to Monday nights and will continue to take a beating in the rating "war."

They have a lot of problems... a lot of problems. But so does the WWE. WWE got 3.7 based on reputation, not how go their shows have been latley. TNA got a 0.8 because of how bad most people thought their show was last week and because of WWE's brand recognition.

TNA isn't going up against WWE, they're going up against the name brand WWE. WWE's victory is only because of Austin and the fact that their established not because they're a "better show."

TNA's show last week was better. WWE's show last week was better.

I'm a Wrestling fan not a ratings fan. To me the "War" is 1 to 1 right now.

However, the ratings will be (whatever) to 0 until TNA pulls it together.

Jesus, TNA's only just started it's drive give them a fucking chance.

Forget the bollocks, it WAS taped, this IS WWE's time of the year and they did have Austin and TNA has been real mainstream about 2 months.

To be honest I have little interest in either show and for me personally TNA has gotten boring for me. But some of you are so quick to be like "LOL TNA!" for looking inferior when surely as a wrestling fan you should want them to succeed? And so quick to laugh at TNA supporters and mimmicking excuses that, at this stage, are very fucking valid.

Fucking wrestling fans.

Ratings mean nothing right now.

As long as Spike is behind TNA, and they are fine with them developing a brand name - then everyone should get the idea that 'WWE is beating TNA' out of their heads. WWE has been around for decades, while TNA is going on 8 years.

To think they have even come this far in 8 years WITHOUT the advantages WCW had in that time frame, is just amazing and needs to applauded right there. TNA did the whole, 'we're coming for you, WWE' thing - because believe it or not, that's what a lot of people want to hear. They ARE tired of WWE, their programming, and them being the only option; so TNA made a statement to help bring in that group of fans. Now TNA needs to drop that idea, and move forward.

People also need to realize that this company (TNA) does a lot without any promotion. I have seen 0 mainstream advertising by TNA. Yes, their fault. However, it's pretty impressive to draw their numbers off the gun vs. WWE, especially when wrestling itself isn't as popular as it once was.

For the last 4 years, TNA has been drawing .9 or 1.whatever for iMPACT. ECW, with the promotion of WWE, has drawn roughly the same in 2009. For TNA to go to Mondays and take their audience number with them, against RAW, is a good deal. That leaves room to build upon. They have MANY flaws, and MANY challenges - but that can be said of any company.

Couldnt agree more! Oh well even Ryan Clark predicted a 0.8-0.9 for TNA so its not a great shock to anyone.. I did smack my lips in delight after seeing those numbers, I admit

So what was the high point for TNA last night? I think most in the Raw thread jumped over when the Beautiful People came on. But that was about it.

So do you guys think that TNA will stop taping every other week or has that been the "catch" in the company so the week is less hefty for the wrestlers?

TNA... ISN'T DOING WHAT WCW DID.. THEY AIRED AT 8 PM EST 7 CT... They need to do that as Wrestling Fans are hungry for wrestling at this time. At this time, chick flixs are coming on, and the wrestling demographic is switching through the channels to find an hour long show before Raw or Impact. If they move an hour forward, they will increase their viewers immensely and can thus eventually move to an 3 hour show.. Running head to head with WWE is just plain stupid... Even WCW didn't do that.

It's not only that, Bischoff had control of TNT. He said when they went to commercial and at times would control the flow that way. Without that control TNA loses a lot of ground.
