TNA Impact rating: How did Impact perform with tough March Madness competition?

Thursday's TNA Impact drew a 1.27 rating, which is up from the 1.25 rating the show scored last week. Impact averaged 1.8 million viewers. Last week's show averaged 1.7 million viewers.

Powell's POV: TNA has tough competition in the form of multiple NCAA basketball games airing on various networks last night, plus a lot of people were out celebrating the St. Patrick's Day holiday, so I assumed the rating would drop. The fact that it actually increased slightly should be a pleasant surprise for TNA officials.
