TNA Impact rating doesn't change for Samoa Joe's first show as champion

TNA Impact drew a 1.0 rating for Thursday's show. Last week's program drew the same rating. For the second straight week, the final segment of the show drew the lowest rating of the second hour. Last week, Sting was featured in that segment. This week, there was a six-man tag with Sting, Booker T, B.G. James vs. James Storm, Robert Roode, and Kip James.

Powell's POV: TNA advertised three title matches and this was the first since since Samoa Joe defeated Kurt Angle to win the TNA Title, yet there was no growth in the ratings. It will be very interesting to see how Joe vs. Angle draws in the main event slot next week.
