[Official] TNA TV Shows Aftermath, Review & Ratings Thread

[The Eighties]

The Knockouts Ladder match on this weeks Impact was fantastic, the key to a Ladder match is pacing and trying to keep it looking like a contest as opposed to being stagy, while also being inventive. Gail and Taryn succeeded at that, top stuff...should have been saved for PPV though.

Am I the only one that think Killiam is a Anti-TNA, WWE mark? I've read several of his columns and he complains about everything. He gives a X division match that's fast paced **** stars and a slow methodical full of in ring phsycology *1/2. I challenge this dude to come to the forum and have a debate with me.

I highly doubt Mr. Killam has the time to come on here. After all, when your whole day involves jerking it to gay porn, multiple Taco Hell stops, and 10mins of copying twitter feeds, and other wrestling news stories, that leaves very little time for anything else. Even if he were to come on here, the only debate you'd get out of him is whether to go super size fries, or not.

He does go on here genius.

So, I'm gonna post here, but first I gotta get the cobwebs off...

*flicks spiders and egotistically karate chops*

So...

Last week's: Gail Kim needs to change pants, she had to keep pulling them down from where they were riding up. Also, when ODB had her in that single leg crab, I thought we were going to have a wardrobe malfunction of the nether regions.

This week's: I'm watching it on a little bit of a delay (DVR), but I gotta say, I kinda like it. Dixie's acting has seemingly improved. EC3 could use some different opponents. Beating a jobber once is expected, beating them 2 times is acceptable, but 3 times? Not believable competition (if you can say they were to begin with). Also, although I do enjoy the "finer qualities" of both Velvet and Brooke, I think it told a good story that ODB interrupted their little wiggle competition (where was Norman Smiley in all this?). I am both looking forward and feeling apathetic towards Gail Kim's challenge. It gives a lot of possibilities, but I think we'll be seeing some more squash matches. I also think that their giving the Roode-Angle thing too much tv time. I enjoyed the FMM match between Sabin and Hardy. Even though I knew there was no way Sabin was going to win (unfortunately), I was still excited throughout. That's my thoughts.

TNA is picking up and its becoming great i agree with your post

TNA rating drops big this week - 23% - Lowest viewership of the year!

It was the lowest rating since the first Impact of the year on January 2. Impact was at or above a 1.08 rating the previous six weeks after the Jan. 2 show.

- Impact drew 1.093 million viewers, down 23 percent from last week's audience. It was the fewest viewers of the year.

- In the key demos of males 18-34 and males 18-49, Impact slid one-tenth of a rating compared to last week. Meanwhile, teen males did not register a number.

- On cable TV Thursday night, Impact ranked #48 in overall viewers, #23 in males 18-34, and #24 in males 18-49. Impact was hurt by NBA on TNT, which drew nearly four million viewers for the NBA champion Miami Heat in action.

Also, Impact did not rank in the Top 100 cable TV shows among the broader demo of adults 18-49. It's bad timing when Channel Guide Magazine published Friday an interview with TNA president Dixie Carter claiming that TNA is diversifying its audience on Spike TV.

People seem sick of Dixie, Magnus and Spud.

They are too boring.

Dixie running TNA to the ground.

That rating was even worse this week. 1.03 million viewers. It was topped by such ratings juggernauts as Full House, a Syfy original movie, Mob Wives 4, Rehab Addict, Curse of Oak Island, King of the Nerds, Friends, King of the Hill, Cops and Seinfeld.

It really is depressing to see Dixie Carter turn TNA into her vanity project while guys like AJ Styles and likely soon to be Bad Influence are exiting the stage. TNA is very quickly losing a fan in me.

Not sure how you can blame Dixie for the sudden drop in Ratings this week. She's been a main focal point of the current storyline since BFG. Up until last week, Impact was on quite a run of decent ratings(for them anyways).

Who really knows the reason for the huge drop. The rating system is already misleading these days. What's really sad is how all these "journalists" on WZ get all giddy like a school girl when the rating drops; yet avoids it like the plague when the rating does good. Along with most of the posters on here.

Long time reader, but first post on here...not really sure where it is best to post my question, but really need to know what other people think about this.

I attended the Wembley tapings of Impact, and something happened during the live performance that was NOT shown on the broadcasts...this was a major incident and I think the omission must be for a very specific reason. I don't think its a spoiler (as it seems TNA are pretending it didn't happen), but didn't want to annoy anyone by giving anything away either...just want to know what people think!

Does anyone else know what I am referring too, or am I allowed to post?

What was the attendance of Wembley like, i read it was only 4-5,000 attendance. I have read TNA have gotten 10,000 attendance on other UK tours i am pretty sure thats the correct number, correct me if i am wrong though.

Impact garnered over 1.4 million viewers this week. The number was a 27% increase over last week's edition.

So EY is indeed over for anyone who was skeptical, or atleast that's what the numbers show.
