TNA Impact rating: Did the buzz regarding Hulk Hogan signing carry over to the second show since he signed with the company?

Thursday's TNA Impact drew a 1.1 rating, which is down from the 1.3 rating the show drew the previous week. The show drew 1.5 million viewers.

Powell's POV: One week was all it took for TNA to drop right back to the rating it drew the week before Hogan signed. It will be very interesting to see how much the number increases once Hogan actually appears in the Impact Zone for the first time.

The second quarter-hour drew a .98 rating, which is down from the 1.10 rating the first quarter-hour drew. Did people tune out after Dixie Carter's speech or was it because they didn't care about the Beer Money vs. Eric Young and Rob Terry match?
