Yeah I don't see it as too much of a loss. I look at it as it's time to go back and rebuild and for them to look at their mistakes and build on that.
Plus, now I have monday nights free =]

To me, this sucks cause I actually watched it more on Monday.. but apparently I was in the minority. However, for the long term viability of TNA, this is probably for the best.

Meh, it was a worthwhile experiment, but they're clearly not ready yet. From the get-go the word was that Spike was leaving the back door open for TNA to go back to Thursdays, and so they're doing so.
Kind of a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" experiment that didn't work out, but I doubt it does any harm to the company in the long run. If anything, they did show Spike they could draw OK having a show on Monday and a Thursday replay, so maybe they've opened the door to getting a second show.
Regardless, like I've said all along, if the company's at no risk of going out of business, it's no big deal.

Hopefully people don't get fed up with all the time changes. If I weren't keeping up online, I'd just figure they're on at a random time of the week each new week.

I think that there was wasted effort in the thousands of dollars spent on advertising to inform people of the timeslot change.

I liked TNA going after McMahon. Even if they went after the monster, at least they attempted it. Failed, but at least attempted. I highly agree, history is filled with more people that chose to not play it safe.

www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/TNA/article10011712.shtmlThe return to Thursdays was a TNA decision, not Spike. With the move back, and the new Reaction show, Spike intends to rebrand/remarket Thursdays as TNA Thursdays. The reason given for the move, is that Bischoff and Hervey's company did some market research and most TNA fans preferred having the show on Thursdays apparently LOL. By "did some market research", they mean "Saw ratings tanking week after week". The typical cast of characters are berating TNA for the move to Mondays, but I applaud them for at least trying to create some buzz. Things didn't work out as well as was hoped, but there's been no real loss -- they're right back to where they would've been had they never tried to begin with. I wouldn't say there's "no real loss". This whole thing made TNA look incredibly stupid in a number of ways. It made them look like a laughing stock and may have cost them viewers in the long term. I'm willing to bet that they'll slowly crawl back up to the 1.0-1.1 ratings they had before and just stay there. Over the past few years, TNA has brought out every single big gun possibly available and not one of them has made a single dent in the ratings. They've brought in big names like Foley, Sting, Angle, Hogan, Hardy, RVD, etc. Not one of them has brought more than a 1-2 week small boost in ratings. They went from a four sided ring to a six sided ring and back. Nothing. They tried pushing home grown talent. Nothing. They've tried bringing in ever cast-off from the WWE they could hire. Nothing. They've tried every form of booking possible. Nothing. I'm not trying to bash TNA; despite a few incredibly moronic decisions (like moving to Mondays and the relentless potshots at the WWE), it does seem like TNA really does want to get better but just can't seem to make any headway. Like it or not, it looks like 1.0-1.1 with a few brief spikes here and there is the best TNA is going to get.

Oh well they moved back to Thursdays, which is good for me. Between taping other shows, watching Raw, and the NHL playoffs, I was pretty much forced to wait until Thursday or watch it on the internet. I thought it was a suicide mission to begin with anyways. But IMO there is one positive note, I really think the product has gotten back to being pretty good after the 1/4 fiasco. Their last few lives shows have been really good and I hope they continue to do them on Thursdays. Hopefully they can start advertising and remember to advertise the hell out of the move back to Thursday, it should be interesting to see what their numbers are when the move is complete.

In the immortal words of Homer J. Simpson...
TNA, you tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
All the best on Thursdays again tho..
