Yea, the main event has already been announced as CM Punk vs his choice of Mark Henry or Big Daddy V.
The iMPACT main event (via the TNA website) is Angle/Styles/Tomko/Christian vs. Joe/Abyss/Steiner/Kaz, They also heavily hyped Booker's first iMPACT match last week, but I dont know when that will air.
Anyway, Ill probably watch iMPACT and DVR ECW. I like ECW, but the same exact things happen every week, so its not something I MUST SEE.

iMPACT: Good but forgettable
ECW: Repetitive yet memorable
Watching ECW, saving iMPACT for Saturday

TNA should invade ECW just so they can occupy both timeslots. I want to see Kong carry away Big Daddy V for Snu-Snu. I also finally want to see Joe/Punk (sadly, I have never seen their ROH trilogy). Also, Abyss really needs to confront his father, Kane, along with Maury Povich.
Anyway, I'll stick with TNA in the Thursday Night Border Skirmish.

Tape Impact or watch the replay on Saturday, and watch ECW live. Simple.

I think just to spite TNA, WWE will pack the show with main eventers like Rey Mysterio, Edge, Batista, Taker..
maybe even do a ric flair match, and have a CM Punk title defense against maybe MVP.
I think WWE will stack the ECW card for next week, just to pull in big numbers.

Who will win? ECW. Who should win? ECW. Fixed to fit my point of view. |

ECW 1.2
TNA 0.9
Both down due to slight audience split, plus there is a football game this week, I think?

ECW 1.2 TNA 0.9 Both down due to slight audience split, plus there is a football game this week, I think? Yea, a big game. A blowout on the same channel last week drew a 5.0, so this one will likely draw more. I think ECW's rating will fall quite a bit, but not due to it going head to head with TNA, but because its a date change. Those never go over very well, ratings wise. |

I'll be flipping back and forth. But I'd be very, very surprised if ECW did lower ratings then TNA.

The fact that ECW is the one being made to switch days works against it. That may give Impact the edge.
As was said, the more interesting number will be to see if Impact stays steady against WWE; if it does, that means they're not losing fans to ECW.
That said, in this age of TiVo and other recording appliances, the ratings system REALLY needs updating, big time. Who knows how many people are going to tape one and watch the other live?
As for football, that'll hurt both, but if it's on the NFL Network, then not by much.
TNA's had a fine, fine product of late, so it probably "deserves" the win here.

I think the NFL Network thing is a bit overstated. While its not in every home, it still did a 5.0 compared to a 6.7 from Monday Night Football on ESPN last month. Both games involved a bad Falcons team get beat by a good team (Giants, Colts), so the games are comparable. |

Impact has been on fire these last couple of months. I'll be surprised if they lose a significant portion of their audience, whom at this point are loyal.

iMPACT!, I believe they might be able to put ECW under a 1, or at least at a solid 1...

People like to cite how "it's the same thing happening all the time" on ECW, but at least I like it and remember it. iMPACT...yeah I can't f***ing remember what happened last week. I know I watched it, but I can't remember...save for some turkey day thing where someone was in a turkey suit...Chris Harris maybe? |

Got to say I didn't think the poll would be this close. I thought for sure Snitsky would be beating ECW.
