- TNA Impact on Thursday, May 9 scored a 0.99 rating, improving on a year-low 0.94 rating last week.

After starting the year averaging a 1.09 rating, the last five weeks of Impact have all scored below the 1.0-ratings mark. The last time five consecutive Impact episodes scored below a 1.0 was October-November 2012 against NFL Thursday Night Football.

- Impact averaged 1.27 million viewers, improving 13 percent on a year-low-average of 1.10 million viewers last week.

The show is still well-below an average of 1.44 million viewers from January 3 to April 4 before Impact's recent downturn, which is a contributor to Spike TV's decision to move Impact back to its 9:00 p.m. EST timeslot starting May 30.

- On cable TV Thursday night, Impact ranked #35 in overall viewers, #22 among males 18-34, and #13 among males 18-49. The only significant competition on cable TV were the NHL Playoffs and "Swamp People" on History Channel due to the absence of the NBA Playoffs this week.

- We'll have Impact quarter-hour ratings next week looking inside the numbers.

TNA Impact on Thursday, May 9 officially scored a 0.98 rating off a first hour 0.91 rating and second hour 1.06 rating.

The quarter-hour ratings followed a wild pattern of ups-and-downs this week, mainly due to unusual timing of commercial breaks. The peak rating came at the top of the second hour with a 1.11 rating in Q5. Impact came close to matching that at the end of the show with a 1.09 rating in Q8.

First Hour Break Down

Q1: Impact opened with another poor rating of a 0.80, capturing Spike TV's decision to shift Impact back to 9:00 p.m. EST at the end of the month. The last five weeks, including this week, Impact has opened with a 0.75, 0.81, 0.83, 0.85, and 0.80 rating.

This week's segment featured Sting and Kurt Angle calling out A.J. Styles, who walked away, and one commercial break.

Q2: Impact remained in the doldrums with a 0.87 rating for this week's Knockouts segment, which included a tag match, and one commercial break.

Q3: Impact jumped to a 1.02 rating for Bully Ray dressing down D-Lo Brown, Magnus vs. D.O.C., and one-and-a-half commercials.

Q4: Impact swung back down to a 0.95 rating for an Aces & Eights follow-up segment, Hulk Hogan backstage, ring introductions for the Second Hour main event, and one-and-a-half commercials.

Second Hour Break Down

Q5: Impact peaked with a 1.11 rating for Daniels & Kazarian vs. Roode & Aries with James Storm as special referee, Magnus attacked backstage, and only half of a commercial, which helped the quarter-hour rating.

Q6: Impact dipped below the 1.0-level with a 0.98 rating for a Suicide vignette, Chris Sabin and Kenny King's in-ring promo segment attempting to bring the X Division back to life, and one-and-a-half commercial breaks.

Q7: Impact swung back to a 1.05 rating for videos, main event ring introductions, and the first four minutes of the main event of Sting & Kurt Angle vs. Aces & Eights.

Q8: Despite the tease of a third man emerging to join Sting & Angle, Impact only increased slightly to a 1.09 rating for the conclusion of the main event and Abyss returning to join Team TNA. There was also one mid-match commercial as TNA teased the appearance of a third man.
