It's on in America on Monday nights from 9-11 pm.

The ratings are in for Monday Night ( 3.8.10) with Raw vs TNA . Impact did a 1.0 (about 1.4 million viewers ) and Raw did a 3.4 ( about 5.1 million viewers )

I think more people will realize it's on and as WWE continues with their same boring rhetoric, TNA will start taking viewers.

WWE hasn't been boring since Sheamus won the title. And it sure won't be boring from here until WM.

I still am fearing that the Edge-Jericho match at WM is going to be nothing more than a well played out squash match.

Anyone here actually buying Sheamus in any way shape or form? His character is bland as hell, but damn that pump kick is sweet.

Even with Sheamus, I think they've been sub-par in everything they've done. The only other Wrestler I can think of that came out of no-where and was a hit for WWE was Hulk Hogan. Even Triple H served his time as a second tier wrestler before he got pushed over the edge.

And from here until WM, it will be the same ole one week the good guy gets over and the next week the heel gets over - or maybe, just maybe one or the other will continue to get over until WM.

With that being said, I think TNA has the potential to start stealing ratings if they can manipulate thier wrestling lineup properly.

I agree with that. That's why I mentioned Hogan and Flair need to get out of the ring. Sting is still the draw for them. And with him going heel, it definitely can add to their ratings. But what they need is others to carry the show and they don't have it all aligned now but they need to do it quickly while (imho) the WWE trips all over themself getting to WM.

Another thing the WWE has going for them as far as Monday night ratings is the fact that Raw is a one time airing. TNA re-airs their Monday night program on Thursday night. Fans of both will tune into Raw knowing they can catch Impact on Thursday.

I was a big WCW fan, so TNA piques my interest more right now than the WWE.

WWE re-broadcasts their shows as well later in the week, including RAW, NXT, and SHOWDOWN. While it may not be on the same channel, they still re-air.
