Powell's POV: The Knockouts drew the best rating of the show even though they weren't in the fifth quarter-hour. The show closed with a solid rating, so it's good news that viewers weren't tuning out as the show went on, as has been the case with a number of recent editions of Impact. Overall, TNA officials have to be pleased with the recent ratings improvement.
