That's great for TNA. I was thinking 1.1 - 1.2, as were a lot of people familiar with wrestling ratings patterns and all, so they have to be thrilled. Now I'm def. curious to see Raw's.

I think it will get higher ratings in the future. Now that people know guys like Flair, Hardy, Bischoff, Hall, Waltman, exct are there.

Nice, hopefully they can keep up the momentum.

Now, to avoid more WCW comparisons, what they have to do is run with this, and build up momentum.
Too often a good rating rolls in, but people were just watching for the shocks and/or swerves, and thus aren't interested anymore by the next week.
I don't want TNA consistently booking shows the way they did this past one (it's just not a sustainable writing style for any length of time beyond a few months), but now they've just got to take the framework they've established and let it roll, by logically continuing things like where Hogan stands in regards to the company, a potential Desmond/Pope feud, maybe building up to Homicide vs. Hardy (unless Jeff is on trial? Oy vey), finishing up the "who is that masked man?" angle with the guy attacking AJ, etc.

Even though it wasn't the predicted rating result TNA wanted, it's still a great result for them.

Errrr, wasn't this expected? I mean, it's Hulk Hogan, and he/they hyped it all over the place.
I'm more interested in what the following weeks will be.

Lance Storm said they'd get .6-.8, so he can eat those words. and Hogan said they'd get a 3.0, so should he eat his words also?

Color me shocked, with the fantastic bowl game and Bret Hart on Raw, I figured they'd be fortunate to not lose an audience. Good job for them.
See what you can do when you dont' leave all your advertising to college kids?

Good job, but let's see how the ratings look in a month when the initial buzz has worn off.

People wanted Hogan, and when he was done, they switched to RAW. Says a lot when the rating drops hour by hour.

So RAW did like a what...a 3.9? Which means to tell me there's still quite a few millions of wrestling fans still out there that don't watch on a weekly basis. The fact that both shows had an uptick in ratings says a lot. For one, it tells me TNA has a different audience than WWE.

Also appears to have picked up during AJ/Angle.If nothing else it shows that they have a strong core fanbase who even with the option of Bret Hart returning to RAW will stick around.Raw it self drew at least a 4.

It wasn't just Storm most of the other so called wrestling pundits were also crapping all over it in the past few weeks. They all claimed TNA would be lucky to retain it's base audience, little own add any new viewers.
