Bound for Glory Paid Off in Ratings for Impact [Full Quarter Ratings As Well]

Whether it was the Hogan/Sting match, the conversant of Roode loosing, or the IWC knowledge of Storm winning, TNA got lot of interest against tough completion because the 10/20 edition of Impact did a 1.35 rating with 2,019,000 viewers, their best number of the year. The 10/13 show finished with a 1.05 cable rating for SpikeTV and averaged 1.44 million viewers, a massive jump. May be a couple of long story arc's are starting to pay off, or just a one time thing with people knowing Storm was going to win (kinda of like Mick Foley winning the wwf title). As illogical and confusing as TNA can be for one night it paid off and had a decent amount of people watching. It will be interesting to see if this is the beginning of a trend or just a one night thing.

Did you watch and or like the show post BFG?

The first three quarters of the show were the best.

The championship match was a huge disappointment.

Agreed with most of your statement.

For me I most wanted to see Gail return but I was happy that at least the other KOs got the best quarter rating.

The only thing that took away from that was the beatdown being a little too short.
