i hope that's the direction they go, especialy with the x-division but the length and results of the x-division title match worry me.
i remember that too. i hope nash stays far far away.
my son asked me there was no light on the crowd, i said i didn't know maybe so people would focus less on the size of the crowd but that was just a guess.
i wonder/hope if it might be possible for EY's heel turn and joe/low ki's to be unrelated.
As far as the x-divsion match being short... I haven't read spoilers but from my understanding they do multiple tapings pretty close together. So I'm assuming anyone that has a short match likely will have to wrestle multiple times in different tapings. That's just my guess. Since a belt changed hands, we'll probably get a rematch which was likely taped right after the first taping or the next day or however it works.
As far as EY's heel turn being unrelated... it did feel different. He wasn't going with the mask thing, so it did feel like 2 entirely different things were going on. Though I suppose it's possible they just wanted to double swerve the audience. People won't see EY's turn if we just had a turn 2 seconds ago (sort of like running out seemingly to help Goldberg then turning on him after the finger poke of doom thing with Hogan and the nWo Wolkfpack).
263,000
Number of people who watched the impact debut.
This is good right Super?
That number also wasn't on a Friday when it will air regularly. Smackdown loss 20% of their audience when they moved to Fridays that they never recovered. So we are talking 210k viewers on Fridays at most? I guess that means that they will probably average in the 100k's going forward. So in order of viewers it's now RAW, Smackdown, NXT on the network, ROH with 290k on average a week, Lucha Underground that does roughly 200k and sometimes a little better a week between Unimas and El Rey, then TNA. After TNA is Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. Also who knows how well NJPW will do on Friday Nights. Impact is now the 6th most viewed wrestling show in America.
I bet it does the 30k less on friday.
And if you count Lucha Underground at 200k it means you are including the replay, which means you have to include the impact replay and that means impact is above lucha underground.
I enjoyed TNA. Thank God for You Tube.The announcing was so much better. Low Ki and Joe going back to being heels is great. The EY swerve was meh. At the end of the day with TNA, you will get some good matches with great talent.
I kind of want to see Mike Tenay as a evil GM. Maybe because I always want to punch Mike Tenay in the face
Why are they doing Havok vs. Awesome Kong so quickly? If they were smart and did a slow build do it, you could have main event level interest in this match.
Yep ...because its a start on a new network. It was the most watched show on the network . The replay drew 100,000+ more viewers as well. If Discovery grows the network like they have their other channels and get it on more systems the next few years ...it will be a good deal.
Also the fact if the show continues to be the #1 thing aired each week , Discovery may move it to a bigger channel in their channel lineup and air it there as replay each week as well.

while i'm sure your return and impact's are purely coincidental i'm very happy to see you back, with the massive cut in viewership your updates on finance, ratings & ppv buyrates(or lack thereof LOLOLOL) will definitely be needed to keep the thread alive.
it was only a staredown and i think a smart way to get some buzz for the debut from the fans of women's wrestling.
