TNA iMPACT! drew a 1.5 rating with 2.2 million viewers, easily a new ratings record for TNA. iMPACT! peaked with 2.9 million viewers for the 9PM to 9:15PM ET segment which featured Hulk Hogan. That segment went head to head with Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels on RAW. TNA’s previous record high rating was a 1.33 with 1.97 million viewers, so last night’s rating beat their record by over 200,000 viewers.
The company, as well as Spike TV, are said to be “ecstatic” with this number, as their goal going into the show was simply to retain their Thursday night rating going head-to-head with RAW.
RAW drew 5.6 million viewers, its highest viewership since August 24th (the night after Summerslam).
The combined Monday night wrestling audience of 7.7 million viewers is obviously the highest it has been in a very long time.
The 3.37 rating we reported earlier looks to be off. That my have been the overnight and not final.
We will update this post as more ratings info comes in.
