There is NO way he can be full on STFU negative on this.... hitting a 1.3 for the first time in a while and whilst going up against the Baseball match of the year.... a 20% rise from last week is huge...

Enjoy your snack Spider:)

Don't forget they were also up against NFL on ESPN.

However, RAW will be up against Game 3 of World Series & Monday Night Football... Even with Ozzie they must exoect some kind of dip (in ratings that is).

that is a pretty damn good number considering this is a bad time of year for pro wrestling.  MLB Playoffs, NFL, College Football and the start of the NBA season definitely impacts ratings... but Hogan proves he has drawing power... I occasionally watch TNA but I definitely paid more attention to it this past week.

Desmond Wolfe arrived at the right time. During a time Hogan and Eric Bichoff decide to partner with TNA. Thus, helping his career gain exposure. Plus, this Angle vs Wolfe angle is good TV.

well pocket... you're right... i am not going to be full on negative towards tna this time... already said what i have to say about hogan / tna... and my last comments were to wait and see where hogan takes tna... i'm leaving it at that until more info comes out...

tna did get their ratings back to where they were in august... the 1.3 range... and hogan signing definitely is the reason... sure as hell isnt the improved product... but i have to say the ball is in hogans court... you have increased viewership for now, you have a hot name on top, tna has to make this work... the window to win viewers is small here... if solid changes are not made to keep the viewers then all this is for nothing... viewers are one thing, but now you have to sell tix and ppv's to start "competing"... hogan cant do that by himself... and tna does have a history of temporary spikes in ratings... work has to be done to turn the temporary into permanent...

what'cha gonna do hogan when the fate of tna is resting on you?... brother...

It will be interesting to see what the ratings will be when he debuts at the impact zone. I still think TNA are missing a trick by not going live because they could of had Hogan appear on this weeks impact if it hadn't been taped over a week a go. If TNA are serious about coming genuine competition to the WWE one day then they are now in the position to make a few gambles with the buzz of Hogan by going live and moving impact  away from Universal studios and going on the road. If they don't capitalise now and make the next step up then they never will do because lets be honest know one knows what Hogans long term plans are with TNA so make the most of it while he is there before he disappears to Australia.

WOW! a 1.3 rating! I didn't see that coming! PFFT.....
OK last week IMPACT score a 1.2, this past thursday IMPACT score a 1.3. I Know is toooooo early and we might see better numbers in the upcoming weeks but I'm I suppose to be impressed for a 0.1 or 20% increase in the viewers? PLEASE.....
