Natürlich ist das Rating für eine Go-Home-Show sehr enttäuschend, doch man muss auch dazu sagen, dass IMPACT Wrestling diese Woche starke Konkurrenz hatte:

TNA Impact Wrestling on Thursday, August 4 scored a 1.14 rating, down from a 1.20 rating last week and 1.26 rating the week before.
Impact averaged 1.44 million viewers, the fewest in eight weeks dating back to the June 2 episode. It represents a 22 percent drop compared to two weeks ago when the July 21 episode averaged 1.79 million viewers.
Impact was faced with tough cable TV competition on Thursday night, as the MTV season premiere of "Jersey Shore" averaged 8.8 million viewers. USA Network also fared well with "Burn Notice" and "Suits." Impact was also out-rated by Shark Week on Discovery.
On cable TV Thursday night, Impact ranked #29 overall, #28 in males 18-34, and #14 in males 18-49, which was one of the lowest rankings of the year for Impact.
The key loss for Impact was among younger male viewers, which makes up a portion of Spike TV's target demographic:
-- Males 18-34: Lowest since May 5
-- Males 12-17: Lowest demographic rating of the year
-- Males 12-34: Tied with April 28 for lowest of the year
