http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_53483.shtml

TNA Impact Wrestling last Thursday, September 20 officially scored a 1.20 rating off a first hour 1.20 and second hour 1.20.

The main event Sting vs. Ric Flair match scored a 1.30 rating in the eighth quarter-hour, which was slightly above the third quarter-hour for the highest-rated segment of the show.

The 1.30 rating for Flair-Sting ranks #9 for highest eighth quarter-hour rating of the year through the first 37 weeks. It was the highest Q8 rating since July when TNA had a series of Q8 ratings in the 1.32-1.36 range.

First Hour Break Down

Q1: Impact opened with a 1.10 rating for the show-opening talking segment between Sting and Flair, then one full commercial break, and Jeff Hardy's first backstage appearance. This was the lowest-rated quarter-hour of the show. (down 7.3% vs. 2011 average)

Q2: Impact jumped to a 1.27 rating for the eight-person tag match involving the Knockouts, a backstage segment involving the Knockouts, a commercial break, another Knockouts segment, and the first-half of Fortune's in-ring promo. (up 8.9% vs. 2011 average)

Q3: Impact increased slightly to a first-hour-high 1.28 rating that nearly topped Flair-Sting for the second-half of Fortune's in-ring promo with Kurt Angle, a full commercial break, and Eric Bischoff backstage. (up 9.0% vs. 2011 average)

Q4: Impact dropped to a 1.16 rating for Angelina Love vs. Velvet Sky, Jeff Hardy backstage, and two full commercial breaks, which dragged down the segment. It was still above the 2011 average in TNA's dead quarter-hour. (up 3.0% vs. 2011 average)

Second Hour Break Down

Q5: Impact scored the exact same 1.16 rating to start the second hour for the tail-end of the second commercial break in Q4, Hogan and Bischoff backstage, Taz and Tenay interviewing Crimson in a teleconference-type interview, and then Matt Morgan vs. Samoa Joe. (down 7.0% vs. 2011 average)

Q6: Impact dropped slightly to a second-hour-low 1.13 rating for more Jeff Hardy backstage segments, a full commercial break, and the first-half of Robert Roode vs. Kaz in the semi-main event.

Q7: Impact increased to a 1.21 rating for the second-half of Roode vs. Kaz, a full commercial break, Roode and Kaz backstage discussing the match, and ring introductions for the main event of Flair vs. Sting.

Q8: Impact increased to a show-high 1.30 rating for the first-half of Flair-Sting, a final commercial break, and the finish of Flair-Sting leading to a brief over-run.

So did you watch last Thursday's Impact?

I watched, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

The KOs and Fourtune are the only interesting thing going on in TNA right now.

I only really pay attention to the KOs but this time they were not even the highest rated section so congrats to Flair/Sting..
