TNA iMPACT! Continues To Struggle, TNA Knockouts Eve, More

— For those who visit the WZROnline.com website, the Google/Firefox issue has now been fixed. You should be good to go now.

— Scoring the same rating as the previous week, last week’s episode of iMPACT! drew a 1.0 cable rating with 1.3 million viewers. Ratings plunged during hour two, which was noticeably capped off by 312,000 viewers tuning out within a fifteen minute time span and never coming back. The quarters are as follows: 1.06, 1.03, 1.05, 1.07, 1.16, 0.92, 0.93 and 0.88.

— The tallest little person from last night’s RAW was Robbie “The Giant” Araujo, who works for New England Championship Wrestling as “Mr. Mini-roe”. This was his first time working for WWE.

— AVClub has listed the “WWE The Music Vol. 9” CD as part of their “least essential albums” list. Here is what they said about the CD: “What could be less necessary than an album of wrestlers singing? How about a collection of wrestlers’ walk-on music? Yet Voices is the ninth collection of themes written by WWE house composer Jim Johnston. A league veteran since the 1980s, Johnston has a way with generating crowd-pumping bangers that sound great against the roar of an audience in the 30 seconds or so needed for the WWE’s slabs of beef to reach the ring. But as an album, Voices offers little but one clangy, repetitive ProTools anthem after another. Even Dice Raw and Punjabi MC do little to break up the grind. It’s the perfect soundtrack to accompany kids injuring themselves while bodyslamming off the couch, but little else.”
