Last night’s huge brawl paid off big time as the two segments featuring the TNA Knockouts were the first and second highest rated quarter hours of the entire show, according to ratings data from ProWrestling.net.
The opening segment, which saw the arena-wide brawl amongst Mickie James, Tara and co., did a 1.18 rating. However, that rating was eclipsed later in the night when the six-Knockout tag team match scored a 1.29, the highest quarter hour of the show. It’s likely that the rating for the match was aided by the great tease earlier in the night with the brawl segment.
Thoughts: This was no doubt a huge night for the Knockouts with over 20 minutes of screen time. If TNA holds this momentum, going back to their winning ways creatively, I’m sure we’ll see another boom period of the Knockouts leading the Impact ratings on a weekly basis. Congratulations!
