    @ ME
    Kid nobody said they were gunna beat RAW. We all know they wont.

    I still cannot understand how TNA cant even get a 1.5! Impact was clearly the better show again this week and yet nobody watches it.

    The smartest thing WWE has ever done is target little children as thier audience. All the grown ups have now moved on to UFC. Vince knew this. He’s a marketing genius.

    The worst thing TNA has ever done is sell its soul to Hulk Hogan. Its a damn shame. There will never be a Monday Night War. Ever…

    It’s going to take time, TNA has to get established on Monday nights before these numbers mean anything. It’s going to be a long road, but if they put out a solid product week after week those numbers should go up. IMO, Impact has put out two great shows so far, and RAW is usually solid leading up to Wrestlemania; however after Wrestlemania Raw tends to drift away. Either way, we all now have a choice and both sides are almost forced to put out an exciting product.

    i hope tna dont over react and keep this going through the summer. by summer end if they cant get back to a 1.2-1.5 then they should thnk about 8-10 instead.

    Anyone remember last nights was also the taped one? that had a big factor in it i think, knowing Austin was on Raw i didnt turn the channel once cause i read the spoilers for TNA and while the show sounded good, i was glued to Raw, last week however during the live show ill admit i watched more TNA than WWE and im WWE all the way. I def think TNA can rise up but like Craig said its gonna take time, they have to be patient and push the right people if not they will fail.

    TNA needs to go out on the road and get the heck out of Orlando. You watch RAW and then watch TNA and it’s no comparison. It’s like ECW going head-to-head with RAW. Even WCW felt like a billion dollar organization.

    I dont think this is anything to laugh about. Sure TNA hasnt beaten RAW, and I doubt they will in the near future. But its a growing company, they have a lot to do, and a lot to work on. Hopefuly they improve and become a real threat and competition to RAW.

    Dont you get it? Competition is good, not only for TNA but also for WWE.

    It’s just obvious how the wwe handles with such situations they just don’t pay attention to what happens in any other show they only care about making their prodict the best on the market.And that was the way that the wwe beat nitro back in the attitude era .I remember how they used to show signs that said “vince fears eric” or how they laughed at the wwe but who’s laughing now… :) that’s just what is going to happen to tna impact they have ben seven years in this business they can’t beat the wwe in their bravest dreams at least back in the attitude era the wcw was 26 years old correct me if i’ve made a mistake.Spike tv made their stupidest move when they moved tna impact to mondays….

    and one more thing tna impact can’t think of their own original storylines i think that when they copied the MSJ they lost almost half of their viewers.They really need to think of new storylines.VINCE RUSSO DO YOUR JOB DAMN IT! Even if he does it won’t help.They are going to end up in the wwe hall of fame like the other wcw superstars will next year….. :D

    It should, historically live shows do better than taped. WCW ratings went up when they was live, RAW’s ratings better when it went live, so I’m sure TNA will probably start to see some increases.

    @Blago, both companies do storylines that have been done before. It’s been that way for the last…forever. Although to be critical of TNA, I think their ratings drop due to the fact of to many backstage/promo segments and not enough match time. The MSG screw job storyline (if you can even call it that) didn’t bother me because it wasn’t a huge storyline.
