Outstanding X-Division title match. Thank god TNA is smart enough to push Trevor Lee.
I don't remember the last time I was this uninterested in TNA. I don't know if it's Josh being more annoying than Matt Striker could ever hope to be, the constant waiting on Kurt's retirement match, everyone turning heel or the fact that Matt Hardy is on top, but this show is getting harder and harder to sit through. It's not that the quality is horrible but I'm having a lot of trouble getting into any of the stories.
It doesn't help that it feels like they're working with a roster of like 10 guys, & we're getting the same matches over & over & over again & again.
It's not like they have much choice, he & Tigre Uno are pretty much the entire X-Division at this point.
A lot of what TNA is doing is solid. But they're a damaged brand. Probably beyond repair. The numbers of people watching is so bad.
Down 23% to last week. There's no way to spin that at all.
When have you known me to spin numbers?
They're awful. They averaged 1.1 million eyes a week with Spike. They've lost nearly 80% of that audience and it hasn't come back.
I'm not sure it ever will.
Well, they peaked a few times around 1.8, 1.9, etc. But they averaged 1.1 to 1.2 weekly for like four years running, where it was rare they dropped below the 1M mark.
It's insane the market audience they've lost since then. And you can say it's the fault of the DA move, fine. At the time, that could be justified. But you've since moved back to a channel most people have. So what's the excuse? People just aren't watching.
It doesn't help that the channel they're on dedicates the bottom third of the screen to showing you what is on every other damn channel, so you know what else is one if you get bored, plus it's just plain annoying.
