TNA Impact rating: How did the show perform against preseason NFL coverage?

Thursday's TNA Impact scored a 1.04 rating, which is down just a hair from the 1.07 rating the show drew the week before. The first hour of the show scored a 1.02 rating, while the second hour was up to a 1.05.

Powell's POV: The show seems to have peaked around the TNA Hardcore Justice pay-per-view with 1.2 ratings, but the thrill for the former ECW wrestlers appears to be gone, as the show is now consistently drawing 1.0 ratings. For what it's worth, the show was opposed by preseason football in most major markets, as all 32 teams played their final preseason game on Thursday. The show will not air this week due to the apparent Spike TV decision to avoid going head-to-head with the first NFL game of the season.
