Powell's POV: The first hour of the show drew a 1.05 rating, while hour two shot up to a 1.22 rating. The overall show scored a 1.1 rating and averaged 1.16 million viewers. TNA and Spike TV have to be pleased by the second hour number especially, and the overall numbers are the best they have done since August.
