Och! i am really surprised TNA is still around with ratings like this
ted

are there still iwc fans who think that tna can "challenge wwe in this era ? tna needs to know its role and just live of wwe's scraps.

it is time for hogan and sting to retire. these guys are draining tna's budget? the 1990's were 20 years ago, and you stil have hogan and sting acting like the attitude era is still around.

I didn't watch last night because I was watching my St. Louis Rams take on the Arizona Cardinals. Usually, I watch RAW or Impact, but if one of my two favorite teams, Rams or Steelers, are playing, I'm going to watch the game.

  How about those Rams?!

    Dude, I love Ravens and Steelers. I like Redskins and Giants, and will watch Packers and a crap load of other teams. How the crap is it lame? Being a fanboy is lame.

Sad….they ruin so many chances….they had no matches and the aces and 8′s went from being clever to horrible in record time!
Booking al snow? Really? And how does bully ray have so much stroke? Do people know bully is one of the head writers? Not hogan and sting…they are just following the script now days….TNA had a chance but may be gone in 2013

I love wwe and tna both might not be as good as they used to be but it is still wrestling which i enjoy as my guilty pleasure even at the age of 28

Wwe’s ratings been dropping lately too but that’s to be expected when going head to head with football. Also who would hurt more by bad ratings, the big brand with the major commercial buys or the one with hardly any good buys. Either way ill watch tna till it is no more cause I like it way better than wwe now a days

  Yep ! I agree they definitely , in my opinion , have had better matches in the last year . A nice mixture of legends , up-comming wrestlers and promising rookies have brought in a pretty decent show . I`ll admit that a few of their `soap opera` segments have sucked but I still don`t understand these low ratings. Hogan and especially his daughther were a bit too much and Sting at 52 years old should`nt get involved in confrontations anymore , I`ll admit ( although this might be his last fight after his HOF introduction) . But I still don`t get it , cause they definitely have the potential to be a nice alternative for wrestling fans ! After all , even with the NFL games , who can`t tape a show this day `n age ?

    One word I should`ve said differently : `alternative` cause what I meant was another interesting wrestling show to watch.

  Even though raw's rating dropped badly (2.5) i would rather watch a 2.5 raw than a 0.84 impact.
  
  2.5 vs 0.84
  
  Advantage:WWE because i would rather watch pbs than sit through 2 hrs of wrestling from 1998.

TNA is going extinct one day
