[Tigercannon71]

So WCW I mean TNA announced last night on March 8 they will be moving to monday nights. Whats everyone think about this?

It'll be great to finally get back to using that Picture-in-a-Picture again for wrestling on Mondays, like back in the ol' WCW/WWF days.

I think Hogan and Bischoff will come up with a great show. WWE will throw out a lot of Divas for attention, so TNA will have to counter with more skin as well.

Oh, and the wrestlin' should be better. Got my tickets for a TNA show in West Virginia next month.

Wonder who kidnapped Samoa Joe the other night? And what of Abyss' mask? Does Hogan want it off?

Can't wait.

Now that's funny!

If the WWE doesnt get a regular GM they wil start to lose. Im so tired of these GM that suck. Ty Murray and Jewel were horrible. The Diva PBRwas a waste of time. The Springer episode was a waste of time.
TNA was much better last thursday than normal. It had its moments that it was bad, but it ha dmore good momenst than bad ones I thought. On a side not AJ Styles is not Flair. He cant be shaped into that mold. Teaming him and Flair was a mistake.

Call me a "label whore", but I'm sticking with WWE all the way!!! I have been loyal to WWE all of my life, even those few years when WCW ran neck and neck/took the lead over WWE.

I will say that WWE is more boring now then it has ever been. Having said that, I just can't see myself watching TNA when WWE is on.

I think TNA is making a huge mistake. Even if TNA started to become viable competition (which I doubt will happen) Vince will ALWAYS have a trick up his sleeve. If push came to shove, he could always unite the RAW and Smackdown brands and have all the top stars on RAW on Monday nights each week.

I think they need more of Stone Cold and the real DX. Not this crap they got now. Wrestling isnt PG its Rated R baby. Lets see more bra and panty matches not hornswoggle. I want to see blood and hardcore matches.

So what did everybody think of TNA on Monday night? RVD and Jeff hardy both showd up. It was am A show compared to some of the crap they show. I think it was ok, but they will not be able o sustain what they might have gained because the writers suck.

i agree. get rid of Russo and Ed and TNA will get a lot better.

The final numbers are in for the Monday Night War, week one (not counting January 4th, of course).

WWE RAW scored a 3.4 cable rating, down from last week's number.

The disappointing news was the number for TNA Impact, which came in at an 0.98, rounded up to a 1.0. That was for a live show with Rob Van Dam's debut, Jeff Hardy's return, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair's in-ring debuts, etc. It will be interesting to see how next week's taped Impact will draw without all the surprises, returns, etc.

TNA got a 0.98 rating on a live show that was hyped as the start of the Monday Night Wars. Doesn't look too promising for TNA on Monday nights.

Considering that next week, Austin hosts Raw and then you have the pre and post Wrestlemania shows and then the upcoming Draft, it's going to be a rough start for TNA on Monday nights.

I liked TNA this week.

[2trap_4ever]

For me the best part was finally seeing Flair and Sting in the ring again, have been waiting a long time to see that, but all in all the WWE should win this battle as long as they go back to the attitude days and away from this Jon Cena "I'm a thug but I smile to let people know I am a happy thug" stuff they got going on right now. What will help is if the reports are right and Triple H goes back to being a heel again.

If TNA wants to get a lot of old school fans, then they need to fight for the rights of his group name

WWE is boring. I used to be a huge fan and hate WCW but Raw is like old WCW anymore.

[mattash]

Like the A.J. Styles and Ric Flair combo

Monday, March 15 Ratings are in.........

WWE RAW 3.71
TNA Impact 0.84

For TNA, it was the worst ratings since they used to be on late nights on Thursday in 2006.

More TNA Impact Ratings Details: Lowest Rated Impact Since '06, Quarter Hour Details

More details on TNA's troubling rating...

* Monday's Impact rating of .84 is the lowest rating for Impact since November of 2006. Back then, Impact was airing in a late-night Thursday timeslot, not in prime-time.

* Not a single quarter hour segment of Impact reached the 1.0 mark. The highest rated segment was the fourth quarter hour (9:45PM ET-10PM ET) which featured the Beautiful People, Hulk Hogan calling out Sting, and RVD appearing. The segment drew a .96. It's probably worth noting that the Beautiful People were also in one of the highest rated segments of Impact last week.

* After the .96 in the fourth quarter hour, every segment dropped in the ratings all the way up to AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy doing a show-low .72. The overrun saw a slight increase up to a .74.

* TNA lost 15% of the audience they opened with, going from a .87 opening quarter hour to a .74 for the overrun.

I bet the rerun Thursday gets a better rating. The TNA Show being taped this week and not Live might of help lower the rating
