Agreed. The buildup of Aces & 8s has been great. TNA has brought them along slowly, plus after the beatdown of Hogan and building up that he was returning probably played a big role in the ratings spike. Also, you can't leave out the AJ paternity test results. Yeah, increased ratings usually come about because of the previous few weeks shows, not the show itself (unless its REALLY bad and the ratings tank). TNA did a very good slow build for Aces and 8's, even after thursday night the storyline has a lot of juice left in it.

Everything aside, this a good thing for TNA/IW. Although, I agree that it's strange when all of the months IW started to be and has been good, they get underwhelming ratings. Not until a truly 'un-good' episode do they get a nice increase in the ratings. I don't get it.

Weird random increase. Wonder what caused it?I cant help but laugh though. Ive loved impact for the last several months, and they do below average numbers. Then last night was the first ep in a while thatd id outright call 'bad', and the viewers increase a boatload. Typical. Taryn Terrell?

The payoff to Aces and Eights had better be good if that's what is drawing fans in. I haven't been watching the last few weeks, but if they do the big reveal and it's someone that isn't going to capture fans interest, i.e. JJ, Bischoff, or someone similar there could be a loss of interest.

Maybe a lot of people tuned in hoping the paternity test would reveal that AJ was their dad too.

It's good to see largely quality shows being rewarded.

Ratings threads are basically used for bragging rights and validation. If numbers did good and you liked it, it deserves it. If the show does good numbers but you hated it, I don't know what the casuals like. Show does badly and you hated it, it deserved it. Show does badly but you felt it was good, I don't know what the casuals like and/or this other show stole viewers. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Sometimes I don't think there really is a reason for a ratings increase/decline and it's just coincidence.

Could be, would an earlier start make that much difference over there? Maybe. In NYC and the east coast it was coming on as most people were getting ready for bed and ending as they were going to sleep (9p-11p) since they had school and work the next day and in the central it was 8-10 which isn't as bad but still not ideal. I live on the East Coast (CT) and TNA is on here from 8-10 also, not 9-11.

I'm not surprised. That gang fight at the end was pretty awesome. The last time tna did something like that it was between main event mafia and tna originals. I remember that getting a big rating too.
The Aces and 8s thing for the most part has been pretty damn good. I'd say it already blows the Nexus storyline out of the water.
