Maybe they're waiting so they can 'accidentally' add the first two Impact's ratings together and pretend it was for the first show.

I legit think they were waiting for the replay so they could add those numbers to it and when they realized it would still suck they just kinda whistled innocently and walked away trying to not draw attention.

This isn't hyperbole when I say this, but this is the greatest TNA gif related I've ever seen. The fact that the Yappapi Strap Match is referenced makes it all that much better. I'm still so sad that the series this was from (I think it was called TNA Remixed) was completely removed from the internet, or at least I can't find it anymore. The whole thing is gold.

Honestly hasn't pretty much everybody been saying since the deal was announced that there would be a HUGE rating drop? Either way (and I know a lot of people will disagree with me) I thought the "season premiere" was actually decent. And I mean the Friday night show not the Wednesday debut (which had it's moments, but the first 2 matches were tough to get into).
As long as Destination America is happy and TNA doesn't get too wacky (big if) it shouldn't be a big deal.

...or maybe they're waiting to add together the first three shows. "Impact Wrestling is happy to announce that we had just under 500,000 people watching Impact" "If you double that total and multiple that number by 10, you get 10 million. 10 million people watched Impact Wrestling last week making it the top rated wrestling show on cable. Take that, WWE."

Any word on this weeks rating

Any word on this weeks rating I'd expect it later today as Tuesday evenings was usually when Smackdown' viewership was reported.

'Spike TV only channel in the world - 1.1' Gets me every time "When Jesus Debuts - 1.15" Turned out there was an audience interested in Carlito's former bodyguard. And... Impact gained more viewers? Not a surprise, but isn't that still a little too high for a premium-tier channel?

That is a surprise actually. Friday is mostly known as a social night when people in the 18-34 demographic are out with friends.
I wonder if they can keep that rating up.

I'm shocked. Been seeing ads everywhere for it so congrats to Discovery for making good and it paying off.

So, that is a plus side. I wish TNA though would focus on growing instead of hot shooting. Be it feast of fired, Lockdown, whatever. NXT is a good example of a great wrestling show where not much happens. There aren't many big angles, there aren't many crazy matches, sometimes there are lots of squash matches. But, it's consistent. NXT is a great template for what TNA should be right now, to try and slowly grow the ratings. One issue with TNA is people should have been thinking year by year instead of week by week. Paul Heyman for instance talked about how he had a 5 year plan for TNA, and that's what is needed. Jim Cornette talked about this before. He was asked when he was in WCW, what can we do to draw money in May. He said, nothing, but if we start working on stuff now, we can draw money in July and August.

Surprised by the boost, and credit to the big marketing push for it, though I don't see it lasting in the coming weeks.
