TBP always score the most ratings or the knockouts i should say. Hogan & Eric should take this into consideration not b cuz u have old wwe rejects dosent mean the crowd wants to see the. Not b cuz ur hulk hogan dosent mean everyone is gonna watch TNA! sRRY hULK u may still be important but not that important like bak in ur time

Melanie, the only thing I disagree about your article is the statement about Bischoff and Hogan not focusing on the Knockouts. The reason they haven’t most likely was the Awesome Kong situation that slowed down the Knockout division. They couldn’t do anything with the tag division with Kong as co-champion. I expect it to go back to normal now that TBP are champs.

Actually, the Knockouts were on after the X Division match which drew a 1.0 for it’s quarter. The Knockouts match rose to a 1.07 which was retained by Sting/RVD.

Totally agree with Mikas.

It doesn’t surprise me that the girls get most ratings, because, liking or not the way the division is becoming, they are very popular and they are allowed to do stuff Divas aren’t because of the PG crap. Lately Divas only do quick and sometimes rather bland matches and we can’t forget that most of the people who watch wrestling are males. If they have to choose between a short match without no violence whatsoever and botched moves and a match that might end with hot girls beating the crap out of each other with belts, hammers and other stuff, they will choose the second options. Sexuality and Violence sell more than PG, at least in Female’s Wrestling terms.

Talking about ratings…the Diva match scored the lowest rating on RAW, and it was significant lower than the rest. An obvious sign that people zapped away during that segment, even though the match started good with Gail showing off nice offense. Most likely WWE will use that as a sign that investing in divas is a waste of time. So don’t expect anything to change in the future.

The knockouts were positioned inbetween Sting/RVD and Hall/Xpac, so its a little premature to credit the knockouts for the ratings peak in that segment (at least this week). Sting, Hall and Nash might be old guys way past their peak, for the ratings they’ve always been very good. I’m NOT saying that the knockouts didnt help get that rating (they score high every week), but in this case you shouldnt forget the influence from the segments before and after them.

Hopefully Bischoff/Hogan will disappoint expectation and realize how important the Knockouts are (and how all the “new guys” are not) and feature them more!

I agree: the fans know what they want. Forcing things on us that we don’t want = less ratings!

As usual. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Bischoff. Great idea to cut the Knockouts segment time in half, it’s really working out big time for your ratings. -_-

If those ratings are real, TNA has to be EXTREMELY disappointed. I think that would be the lowest number they’ve done all year.

And regarding the KOs, I’m still angry with TNA. Alissa Flash, Hamada and Kong were my favorites. =(

“Congrats to the knockouts hopefully they are granted longer matches than the 3 minute matches they’ve been getting.”

to be fair, most men’s matches seem to get less than five minutes, too. and i’m sort of okay with that… it’s free tv afterall. just as long as they’re not shunned for time at ppvs.

the knockouts have been portrayed greatly since the Hogan era began imo. Just because we’re not getting 2 random knockout matches anymore, doesn’t mean the knockouts have been ignored. We’ve now gotten real storylines with real build-ups examples being the Tara/Daffney fued and the beautiful people/Angelina love fued, compared to before when TNA dropped angles out of no where, examples being the Alissa flash/Traci fued and Alissa Flash/Hamada fued

i knew the knockouts would steal the show

awesome. although i didn’t really doubt them to be honest.

quite the solid number for tna overall, considering they were head to head, as well.
