Knockout Gauntlet, if you were wondering.

F4W says it's TNA's third largest audience.

2 quarters with over 1.3? Damn, that's really good for Impact.

If they could only hold people better for the last 3 quarters, which they never seem to do for some reason.

It seems TNA has been hitting that 1.2 mark more often than not. I think it's time for 1.2 to become the joke and 1.3 to become the goal.

I think Spike TV has a real particular demographic. TNA gets the most viewers during the knockout matches on a channel that gave us manswers.

[Robbymac]

Good for them. sloooooooooooooowly but surely creeping upward.

1 viewer for ever time Sting said "Kurt" during the final segment.

that would be a fun TNA Impact drinking game.

A shot everytime Sting says the first name of whoever he is cutting a promo on.

A shot everytime Jeff Jarrett says "As the founder of TNA.."

Dangerous drinking game.

Again, the Knockouts are something you gotta hand it to. I really think a separate 1 hour show just for the Knockouts would be great, almost like an ECW type show with WWE. Help put over some Knockouts who may not get as many wins/matches here and there, and look at some new prospects.

The concept of Women's Wrestling seems to be popular, and TNA I feel is definitely doing the best job in all of wrestling with it.

I wanted to say "Dr. Stevie = Ratings", but the numbers actually went down during that segment.

I think people heard Abyss was going to talk and failed to recognize the back of Stevie Richards head before they changed the channel.

[NOwave]

I really like the Knockouts, but I'm not sure TNA is ready for an all Knockouts show. They should wait until the flagship show is stronger before stripping out one of the strongest segments.

I bet if you pinpointed ODB's Angle, it probably got like a 8.2 for that five minutes.

[ICBM]

OBD's angle is when I change the channel every week. And just so I can put my two pennies on it, there was once talk of the knockouts getting thier own show, but thankfully they didn't. having to carry thier own (Knockouts)show could kill TNA. No really just remember what Thunder and worldwide did to WCW. Distraction for creative, spending more money on a new show and less appeal to the majority=no good deal. Seriously I like the knockouts and they can actually wrestle as well as entertain but giving them an hour every week could kill TNA's finances unless Spike paid for the whole show
