TNA Impact rating: Two long matches draw the best ratings of the night

Last week's TNA Impact drew a 1.1 rating with 1.6 million viewers. The highest rated segment went to the fifth quarter-hour, which featured Booker T and Scott Steiner beating Petey Williams and Eric Young in an elimination match. The main event match between Kurt Angle and A.J. Styles drew a 1.15 rating, which was the second highest of the night.

Powell's POV: Is anyone else encouraged to see that the two longest matches on the show drew the two highest ratings of the night? This is one time when I hope TNA overreacts to the ratings and delivers longer matches on this week's tapings. By the way, I'm still looking for a regular correspondent for the TNA tapings.
