Q7: 0.77 rating - Magnus and Sting argue, Kurt Angle and Bobby Roode talking segment. One commercial break.

Q8: 0.81 rating - Bound for Glory contract signing. One commercial break.

Shore's Slant: Thursday's TNA Impact Wrestling television show drew a 0.84 rating and averaged 1.10 million viewers. This was the go home show for Bound for Glory and the sagging numbers seem to indicate poor buys for that show. Quarter seven had major star power (as far as TNA is concerned) and only one commercial break and still had the worst quarter. That's stunning.
