Sting's first appearance on national wrestling television since the end of WCW helped this week's TNA iMPACT! score a series-high 1.1 rating.

The show, which was watched by 1.3 million viewers, posted a 1.0 in both young male demographics (18-34 and 18-49).

Between the spike in the Final Resolution buyrate and the iMPACT! rating, it is clear that fans are interested in Sting's appearances for TNA. The company will tape a follow-up to his farewell announcement tonight in Orlando.
