TNA Impact Wrestling on Thursday, December 15 scored a 1.14 overall rating off a first hour 1.17 rating and second hour 1.11 rating.

Impact's peak rating came in the first quarter-hour with a 1.22 rating for the Robert Roode vs. A.J. Styles TNA World Title match extended from Final Resolution.

Impact steadily dropped off during the show, bottomed out with a 1.05 rating in the eighth quarter-hour for the Jarretts firing segment following a commercial, and increased to a 1.13 rating in a seven-minute over-run for Jeff Hardy vs. Bully Ray in the main event.

First Hour Break Down

Q1: Impact peaked with a 1.22 rating for the immediate PPV fall-out with Roode-Styles for the TNA World Title, plus one commercial break. (up 3.4% vs. 2011-Q1 average)

Q2: Impact declined marginally to a 1.16 rating for opening match fall-out and Abyss & Scott Steiner vs. Hernandez & Rob Terry in the first tag tournament match. There was also one commercial. (dead even vs. 2011-Q2 average)

Q3: Impact increased slightly to a 1.18 rating - the second-highest rating of the show - for Kurt Angle and Sting's in-ring confrontation, Jarretts backstage, and an X Division match of Zema Ion vs. Anthony Nese. (even vs. 2011-Q3 average)

Q4: Impact decreased to a 1.12 rating for Jesse Neal vs. Gunner with Ric Flair, plus two full commercial breaks, which dragged down the rating. (even vs. 2011-Q4 average)

Second Hour Break Down

Q5: The second hour opened with a very slight increase to a 1.13 rating. The segment contained all talking with Jeff Hardy and Bully Ray in the ring, the Jarretts backstage, and Samoa Joe and Magnus backstage. There was also one commercial. (down 8.5% vs. 2011-Q5 average)

Q6: Impact scored a nearly identical 1.12 rating for Joe & Magnus vs. Robbie E. & Doug Williams, more Jarretts backstage, ODB & EY backstage, a commercial, and Devon coming to the ring for a talking segment. (down 3.5% vs. 2011-Q6 average)

Q7: Impact continued the trend of 1.12s and 1.13s with the same 1.12 rating for Devon and The Pope's in-ring segment, one commercial break, and Traci Brooks vs. Madison Rayne for the Knockouts match of the week. (down 1.8% vs. 2011-Q7 average)

Q8: Impact had the first noticeable decline since the first hour with a 1.05 rating - the low point of the show. The segment included a commercial break at the start of the quarter-hour, then Sting revealing both Jarretts were "fired," and ring intros for the main event.

Over-run: Impact increased to a 1.13 rating for the Jeff Hardy vs. Bully Ray main event and post-match angle that closed Impact seven minutes past the top of the hour.

Caldwell's Analysis: Remarkably, the first hour was nearly identical to the yearly pattern. The second hour then continued the traditional pattern of ratings slowly dropping off. The over-run helped boost the second hour, though. It's worth noting the Knockouts have not drawn as well the past few weeks. Perhaps the lack of a clear direction for the Knockouts Title with Gail Kim, the lack of a marketable faction such as the Beautiful People, the wrong mix of Knockouts in individual segments, or over-exposure has put a temporarily halt to their weekly ratings dominance.

Have they ever got a 2.0+ rating?

I'm talking rating NOT 2 million+ viewers..

The rating is pretty normal I guess.

Not horrible but not great either.

Sucks the KOs are not scoring as well as before but then again who really cared about Madison v Traci?

I think after reading the spoilers for a few weeks in advance I think a couple weeks from now may be a real test to see if the KOs still deliver one of the top ratings of the night.

Its pretty sad that the KOs are the ones who get the higher ratings when they have men like hogan,sting,and Kurt Angle.But I can understand why.Seeing women fight on a mens network.But still its pretty sad.
