TNA Impact rating: Did the show bounce back from the disappointing number it drew against the first NFL game last week?

Thursday's TNA Impact drew a 1.2 rating, which is up from the 0.9 rating it scored the previous week. The show had an average viewing audience of 1.6 million.

Powell's POV: The show peaked with a 1.33 rating during the seventh-quarter hour, which featured the Taylor Wilde and Sarita vs. Awesome Kong and Raisha Saeed. The Knockouts continue to deliver the best ratings more often than not. Obviously, the NFL game hurt the rating last week. It's also interesting that ECW drew a 1.0 last week, and a 1.2 this week. I remain convinced ECW and Impact have similar viewing audiences.
