Eine durchaus interessante Meinung zu diesem Rating gibt es von PW Torch Redakteur Wade Keller. In der spricht er vor allem auch die sinkenden Viertelstundenwerte an. Die erste Viertelstunde erreichte 1.53, die letzte aber nur mehr 1.23. Auch die Reaction Viertelstundenwerte wurden veröffentlicht: 1.15, 0.72, 0.71 und 0.55.

Hier mal Ausschnitte der Kolumne von Keller:
Zitat:TNA spent six months, according to Eric Bischoff, building up the storylines that culminated at Bound for Glory on Sunday and played out on Thursday's Impact.
TNA drew 1.9 million viewers, the largest Thursday night audience since January 21. They succeeded in drawing increased interest in their product. Basically, many of the TNA viewers who strayed from watching it recently but heard about what happened at BFG, or those who watch every two or three weeks or a few minutes here and there, all congregated at the start of Thursday's show.
The opening quarter hour drew a 1.53 rating. That's up from the 1.16 opening quarter hour last week and the 1.25 two weeks ago.
By the end of the two hour show, they were below the rating for all but the first 15 minutes of last week's show. By the end of the two hour show, they were right back with the same number of viewers they averaged two weeks ago.
It's like the person who diets and exercises for six months to lose 15 pounds, then regains it all in two or three weeks of undisciplined bingeing.
TNA had about an hour to celebrate today - the hour between getting the total audience number of 1.9 million, up from the 1.7 million last week and 1.5 million the week before and when the quarter hour ratings came in.
TNA quarter hours went from 1.53 and 1.52 in the first 30 minutes to a 1.41-1.43 range the next 45 minutes, to a 1.35-1.37 range the next 30 minutes, and then crashed to a 1.23 in the final quarter hour.
Imagine a stand-up comedian who has a great budget for hyping his "biggest show ever" and he packs the comedy club which normally is only 75 percent full. But then his act begins and all of those people who showed up because of all of the hype with posters and flyers and word of mouth end up leaving gradually to the point that they're back to a quarter-empty club by the end of his show. That's what happened Thursday.
TNA's booking failed them once again. Fans tuned in at the start with hopes that weren't met. It was worse than usual, although diminishing ratings for a TNA Impact isn't rare. It's uncommon in television, but it's common in TNA. Yet nobody seems to learn from it. The same approach is taken over and over again. The same older talent is pushed, only recast as a heel instead of a face or vice-versa.
