TNA Impact Wrestling viewership: Did the Aces & 8's VP identity reveal tease lead to more viewers?

Thursday's TNA Impact Wrestling television show drew 1.425 million viewers, down from the 1.49 million average last week, according to Zap2It.com.

Powell's POV: TNA teased that Kurt Angle would reveal the identity of the Aces & 8's vice president last week by showing him unmasking the man at the end of Impact. The quarter-hour ratings may tell a different story, but the setup for the D-Lo Brown reveal did not lead to a big increase in viewership for the overall show. We hope to have the actual rating later today.
