Powell's POV: Oddly enough, WWE was able to get viewers to pick up on Raw's earlier start time despite past three-hour specials struggling in the first hour. That just hasn't been the case for Impact, which has repeatedly done better numbers in the second hour since moving to the earlier time slot. That said, the good news is that Impact did it's best overall rating since August and averaged 1.4 million viewers on Thursday.
