The Multichannel News service put out an article earlier today talking about how wrestling, mixed martial arts, and boxing have all seen ratings increases over the last year. TNA was referenced throughout the article in the following blurbs:
Today, ring-sports shows and events are found in time blocks on basic and premium cable networks. Pro wrestling’s biggest franchise, World Wrestling Entertainment, has two weekly series on cable: Monday Night Raw on USA Network and ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) on Syfy. Upstart wrestling outfit Total Non-Stop Action also has found a home on Spike TV though its weekly series TNA! Impact.
For its part, Nashville-based TNA’s weekly TNA Impact! pinned down record ratings in 2009, averaging 1.3 million viewers an episode for Spike TV. The franchise recently signed former WWE star Hulk Hogan and took the bold step last month to face Monday Night Raw head to head with a special edition of Impact!. That episode didn’t pin Raw in the ratings, but it generated a series-high 2.2 million viewers.
