TNA to Hold a Four Hour Impact Broadcast on 12/31

What a reality check

Kimbo Slice took Ultimate Fighter from 1.2 to 3.7
Hogan took Impact from 1.1 to 1.3

So if there was no World Series, Hogan would have taken them from 1.1 to 1.5.
You're trying to make it like the World Series was the major difference from 1.2 to 3.7 and 1.1 to 1.3.
I'm trying to make a point about television ratings drawing power in 2009. The last season of Ultimate Fighter several weeks did lower ratings than Impact and for the season was slightly above.
Now they aren't close. Is anyone trying to suggest that Hogan is going to move TNA to 2.1s?

Spike hyped this show more than any episode of Impact I can recall. Every commercial break had a Hogan promo.

One week rating is significant?

You don't even remember Donald Trump doing a 4.5 and everyone talking about a turnaround and a new boom period coming.

Everyone knows Hogan's first two appearances will draw a rating. Everyone knows Flair's first two appearances will draw a rating. A 1.3 against the World Series is a good number, but it's still 200,000 viewers less than several shows they did earlier this year drew.

Are we still at the level where one week rating for someone's debut is considered significant? Sting drew his first week. Foley drew his first week. Angle drew his first week. It's still TNA and it's still Hogan.

The same Hogan who drew his first week back every time he came to WWF in the last 7 years, and then bailed every time out because he knows better than anyone that at his age, there is no staying power, only a nostalgia pop. If they did a 1.8 for one week, what would it matter because they'll be back to where they were three weeks later anyway. If they spent three months building up a live TV debut, you really think he'd drawing a 3.7 rating on Impact like Kimbo did? I mean, does anyone even entertain the idea that is even possible? He can't wrestle on TV more than once and have it mean something, and physically, the guy can't stand up and shave. He has to sit down and shave. Think about it. If he wrestles, a big if because even he's downplaying the idea of wrestling, he'll get one big buy rate, just like Angle, just like Sting, and TNA is still a company that does 1,500 paid for its biggest show of the year they spent four months promoting.

"Occasional" and one blurb for the show during every single break are not the same. Spike hyped it more than any TNA show and the same as a major UFC event.

For two days I heard the argument that TNA got more mainstream pub than ever before, nothing like this in history due to Hogan, and now it's changed to "There was only two days and an occasional TV commercial." By the way, exactly whose fault is it when a guy who is supposedly part of the ownership group continually fails to promote on national TV shows his debut on the show he is going to turn around? And you don't see that as a warning sign right off the bat?

At least even in TNA, Hogan's appearances were seen as a major warning sign that Hogan's not really into this more than taking them for a ride and they were neither thrilled with nor unhappy with the rating.

Would it make you more excited to know that I was more positive about the potential of this than everyone in the company I've spoken with in the past few days.

While nobody can say it publicly, the general feeling is that Hogan showed he was taking us for a ride on the Larry King Show, and look at his track record, bailing on everyone all the time.

I'm not saying it's doomed. There is a chance things could get better. The odds are not in that direction.

But, the idea that the 1.3 rating indicates anything whatsoever is astounding to me that anyone even gives a second of belief to.

Other than in today's culture, that Hulk Hogan for one week means a hell of a lot less than Kimbo Slice.

My idea of a success is they would take in more money with Hogan than they are spending to get him.

If he costs them $3 million a year and raises ratings and buy rates to the point they lose money on the deal, it's not a success.

If he costs them nothing, he only has to sell one ticket and it's a success.

A .1 increase in average weekly ratings likely means $0 dollars to TNA unless the ratings are up significantly the last year of the contract and somebody else is looking at trying to get the deal.

20,000 extra buys on the first show means $300,000.

So if he, and Bischoff together, are working for a combined less than $300,000 per year, yes, that's a success.

It's been reported this week that major changes are coming to WWE in the early months of 2010, with the ECW brand likely being shut down. According to a sources, WWE also has big changes in store for the SmackDown brand. The feeling is that RAW has enhanced its identity with the Guest Host concept and SmackDown needs something of its own to stand out. While nothing official has been decided on yet, it's believed that any big changes will take place after year ends.

Also as noted earlier here on the website, WWE is working on a deal that could change the current landscape of the company. WWE and SyFy have had preliminary meetings regarding the rebranding of the ECW series, which would include dropping name and brand "ECW". SyFy has noticed the dropping ratings since the debut of the show, and with the current TV deal ending in December, WWE is looking to improve ratings and freshen up the product. There was talk of a "magazine style" show, which was shot down, and the most recent pitch is an hour long show focusing exclusively on brand new talents. SyFy was very behind the brand when it debuted with a rating of over 2.0, but with the rating now averaging around a 1.0, the appeal has been lost.
