According to PWInsider, The July 12 2012 edition of Impact Wrestling scored a 0.85 rating with 1,108,000 viewers. Down from last week's 1.0 rating and a loss of 377,000 viewers from last week's rating. The first episode of Impact Rewind did a 0.21 rating with 231,000 viewers.

At least Impact has a legitimate excuse for the rating being low this time.

a legitimate excuse other than sucking?

[Jackanape]

So the Playoffs end and another excuse just presents itself

Obvious troll is obvious.

Rewind was so stupid. I hope it gets canceled.

I like the concept of Rewind, but they just need to put it on Saturday or Sunday night. As shown by ReAction, most people aren't going to watch 3 hours of wrestling in one sitting. On the other hand, it would be interesting to know what kind of ratings SpikeTV usually pulls in the 7 o'clock hour.

I like how simple minded folks like you mistaken my opinion for trolling. I know you single celled tna fans will watch anything that has the tna brand on it but there are a few of us intelligent wrestling fans that know what we want and what we like. If impact was so good lately they would have bigger ratings no matter what. Impact wouldnt have to rely on using directv as an excuse for their disastrous numbers. impact scored a 0.95 rating just a few weeks ago and it was airing on directv.

you can block or ban me. whatever. banning me wont help impact ratings and wont stop the truth

Like I care if you enjoy the show or not. There's several people on here who have openly stated that their interest in TNA's product is at a low. I called you a troll because the first time there is a legitimate excuse(not an NBA game) for low ratings, you blame the product for the drop.

TNA's ratings have been lower since Pritchard took over. Therefore, people have obviously lost interest in the product. But to blame just the product for THIS WEEKS drop in the ratings is idiotic. Everyone knew the ratings were going to take a hit. If it were any other week, then I would've just ignored your comment, but due to DirecTV dropping Viacom, your statement is invalid.

BTW, half of the people on the internet who have to call themselves intelligent are usually the complete opposite.

Who's fault should we blame this on DirecTV or Viacom?

It's not necessarily anybody's fault, though Viacom is the home team here. This is the way these contracts are done at present.

Just blame Aries. Much easier. "Fluke!"

Well I hope Dixie is getting involved somehow because they nearly lost 400,000 viewers and this may not be a massive hit as we were expecting. However, this really is hurting them still and I have feeling they are going to be stuck getting .8s and even .7s until Viacom can work out a deal and lets hope its not a few months.

this is a great excuse to shrink the responsibility away from the crappy booking and on to directv. If the booking were as good as everbody says they are then the ratings would be higher and can brace for problems like the directv issue properly. Right now it looks like the rating would have been exactly the same as last weeks. another 1.0. the same numbers tna got back in 2006. intelligent people know thats not growth. you obviously dont know any better.

I never said it was growth so stop putting words in my mouth. I said that this week, and maybe next week too, you can't blame the product for the dip in ratings. 22 MILLION homes have DirecTV. Odds are, a good chunk of TNA's viewers are a part of that 22 million. If it were any other week, then blame the product. But with so many viewers unable to watch Impact, then blaming the product for such a big drop is laughable.

And also, why does it matter if someone thinks TNA's booking is great at the moment? They have an opinion just like everyone else.

It sucks for us TNΛ fans who want to see much better ratings for IMPΛCT Wrestling, but I think it'll be a never ending battle for TNΛ to draw those higher ratings...

You loose 20% of your potential audience, of the numbers will go down. Simple math folks. Anyone to think different is not very bright.
